With the exception of a few “unimportant potsherds 
the only other object of importance found at this site 
was a small iron knife with tang. No stone implements 
were discovered, and no information is given as to the 
precise conditions under which any of the exhibits were 
found ; presumably they lay on the surface of the ground 
examined. 
(¢) Sonnaria. Fragments of two chank bangles of 
simple pattern apparently found on the ground surface. 
Fig. 3623, pl. IV, shows the simple, semi-cylindrical 
pattern of one fragment. A chert scraper comes from 
the same locality. 
(ce) Kodinar. Onthe surface of Mr, Foote’s camping 
ground were found several sawn portions of chank shell, 
two being shoulder slices such as are found in the 
wastage from a bangle workshop, 
(f) Valabhipur (the modern Walah). From the ruins 
of the ancient city Mr. Foote obtained a large and most 
interesting series of chank bangle fragments, 62 in 
number, whereof ten of the most noteworthy are repro- 
duced on pl. IV, under number 3493. Withthem werea 
smaller number (7) of sawn working sections. A few 
marine shells (vevz¢a, Massa, Ostrea, and Conus) were 
also found among the ruins.

(a) Sigam, on north bank of the Heran River. Five 
weathered sawn working sections of chanks are re- 
presented in the collection from this site. No finished 
remains of bangles were seen. The site yielded a 
variety of neolithic flakes and cores and two sandstone 
hammers or pestles. No indication is given of the 
precise mode of occurrence, but I conclude they were all 
surface finds. 
(6) Kamyrej, 12 miles *north-east, of ‘Surat)= Dhe 
summit of a small islet in the Tapti river at this place 
yielded three sawn shoulder slices (workshop waste) of 
chank shells anda single fragment of finished bangle. 
The latter is remarkable for the peculiarity and elegance 
of its pattern, a broad and closely worked zig-zag groove 
such as I have never seen either among ancient bangle 
fragments or on any of the present-day productions of 
Bengal. It is figured as No. 3066-6 on pl. IV. With
