river levels. Dr. \\. P. Blackmore has found these Eoliths 

 in a.ssociation with ElepJias meridionalis at Dewlish. 

 Mr. Lewis Abbott has also found Eoliths of this period 

 in the Cromer beds. 



The Reutdien is the oldest quaternary Eolithic 

 Industry. The implements are found on the top of the 

 gravel deposits at the base of the middle terrace, and it is 

 well represented in the neighbourhood of Salisbury, 

 especially at Alderbury. 



The Mafflicn industry is met with at the base of 

 the lower quaternary deposits of the low terraces of the 

 valleys of the Franco-Belgian basin. It does not differ 

 much in character from the Reutelian. It is represented 

 at Erith. 



The Mesvifiten industry is found in the gravels at the 

 top of the lower quaternary deposits. Many of the 

 implements bear the bulb of percussion, and the develop- 

 ment of intentional flaking belongs to this period. A 

 mixture of Mafflien and Mesvinien implements may be 

 found in the low terrace deposits of most of our large rivers. 



The Strepyicn industry represents the transition 

 between the Eolithic and Pal.Teolithic cultures. It is 

 characterised by an admixture of Eolithic forms and rude 

 implements intentionally shaped and intended for 

 specialised uses. It is well represented at Rickmans- 

 worth. Many of the implements bear the bulb of 

 percussion. After the Strepyien came the Chelleen and 

 the Acheuleen and the Upper Pahisolithic industry from 

 the caves. 



{j6) The Neolithic division is complex and varies 

 with locality, in Central Europe there appear to be five 

 or six divisions. The Tardenoisien (" Pigmy " tools) the 

 Flenusien and the Campignyien contain no polished 

 implements. The Flenusien is a purely Eolithic industry,
