types, thereby rendering it difficult to determine where the drift form 
ends and the Neolithic type begins. Colonel Fox further found similar 
wrought flints in the trench at the base of the rampart, lying on the 
original floor of the ditch, under about 3 feet of earth ; and from this 
circumstance he was enabled to conclude that those who wrought them 
must have occupied the hill at the same period, or subsequent to the 
construction of the earthworks. 
At a late visit to the hill, in company with Mr. J. P. M. Smith, 
who had previously met with well-formed implements there, and Mr. 
Wonfor, who would show some rude specimens picked up by himself 
on the occasion, he took away as many as 100 wrought flints of 
different forms, most cf them very rude, yet all exhibiting considerable 
design, and evidently not mere waste. Among them he recognized the 
pointed and oval drift types, similar to those already mentioned as 
obtained by Colonel Fox. Of better shaped specimens, three well- 
wrought lance heads were worth mention, of similar form to one 
obtained by Mr. Wonfor. The rest consisted of roughly-worked celts, 
and picks pointed at one end and broad at the other, others pointed at 
both ends ; besides several tools, edged on one side, the other blunt for 
use in the hand, and similar to some implements taken from among the 
cave deposits of France. The heavy picks, it is likely, were hafted 
for better convenience in use. Flakes, suitable for knives, were almost 
beyond number, and some rudely cut circular stones, known as sling- 
stones, helped to fill the bag ; but the ubiquitous scraper, sufficiently 
good to be ranked as such, was not forthcoming. 
There was a considerable difference in the types of some of these 
Cissbury “‘flints,” when compared with those of North Hampshire. 
The drift type had not yet occurred among the Hampshire series ; and 
as rubbed implements are not rare here, there was room for the 
suggestion that those found at Cissbury belonged to a somewhat earlier 
period. 
It occurred to him to enquire how an invaded people occupying 
these hills could have obtained water? In peaceful times it was easily 
understood that the women, among uncivilised tribes always the 
hewers of wood and drawers of water, might have toiled up the wind- 
ing inlets to the camp with water in skins or earthen bottles ; and he 
had lately been informed that hollows, floored with clay, which were 
evidently artificial tanks or ponds, had been found in places on
