have again visited the pit and taken out abraded, ochreous-greenish 

 tiimined stones of very distinctly eolithic form and workmanship 

 in situ at about Oft. and lift, from the surface, and, at that spot, 

 about 3ft. 6in. and 18in. respectively above the chalk. These were 

 from the gravel face at the back of the platform. 



The following remarks in brief may be of some use by way of 

 addition to the foregoing article. 



I may safely say that I have obtained numbers of flaked and 



trhnmed stones from the layer of silt which represent all the 



better known forms of eoliths. These, however, are of Palaeolithic 



age and condition, and afford valuable evidence, by analogy, of the 



human authorship of the said eoliths. I have various series of 



eoliths from different localities laid out in rows. Interspersed 



among them are stones of exactly similar pattern and trimming 



from Knowle Farm Pit. Of these some have bulbs and show 



flaking in addition to the trimming, and some do not. Among the 



implements are many which are notched just as the eoliths are. 



Again, some implements have been most evidently used as 



" Hollow-end Scrapers," and many an implement shows along one 



or sometimes both edges the "bow-shaped scraper" trimming. 



It cannot be too much impressed on the mind that in the silt in 



which the implements are so numerous there also the rude trimmed 



pieces are very numerous. In all human probability one authorship 



must be ascribed to them both. The conviction that this is the 



case is strengthened, as it can be so quickly in no other way, by 



oneself digging out both in situ for hours at a stretch. Similar 



proof is forthcoming concerning the microliths which I have found 



in very large numbers. They are of all sizes from a bulbous flake 



the size of a large pin's head and upwards. They exist only in 



such numbers in a portion of the river silt. They occur with 



sharp unrolled implements. They cannot be waste chips alone 



because numbers of them have been carefully and delicately 



trimmed, so much so that did anyone And a similar stone in 



proper condition on the surface they would without doubt 



acknowledge it as a neolith. But because these microliths occur 



in a river silt of Palaeolithic Age, and because Palaeolithic man
