Numerous specimens of cores of flint. 
British hatchet of flint, Roman Villa, Great Witcombe. 
An oval knife, about two inches long, ground at the edge, 
and over a great part of the convex face, found at Mitcheldean, 
is in the Museum at Truro. 
A barbed arrow-head, Turkdean. 
An almost spherical stone, but flattened above and below, 
where the surface is slightly polished, was found at Whittington 
Wood in 1866. 
He also gives a polished celt from Cherbourg Camp, Pusey, 
Farringdon; but that is in Berkshire. 
Although I was aware that The Earl of Ducie, the Rev. D. 
Royce, Mr G. Witts, the late Mr E. Witchell, and the late Mr 
G. J. Playne had made collections of flint implements, I did not 
know they had done so much, and was surprised to find the 
extent of the work of other gatherers in the field, and I now 
proceed to give you the result of my enquiries, by which you 
will see how largely our knowledge has increased since Dr 
Evans wrote. 
No. 1 is a drawing of a hatchet found at the, Wilderness 
Works, Mitcheldean, near the bottom of a valley, covered over 
with rubble washed down from the hill side, and about 5 inches 
below the surface, July, 1888. Natural size. 
No. 2, Neolithic flint, from the late Rev. Winnington 
Ingram’s collection in the Worcester Museum, labelled, “ Found 
by George Stewart between Pitchill and Rouse Lench, Beving- 
ton Waste, when it was first cultivated in 1874,” and seen 
by me at his cottage ; bought 3rd November, 1878. 
There is also in the same Museum a card with some flint 
flakes, found at Bredon Hill by the Rev. F. Holland. 
From the Gloucester Museum I have two specimens, which 
were given by the late Mr J. H. Cooke, of Berkeley. 
One was found in 1884, near some pit dwellings, now 
destroyed, as the land is converted into arable, at Westridge, 
near Wotton-under-Edge ; and the other from the slope on the 
Stancombe side of Stinchcombe Hill. Mr Cooke pointed out 
the spot to Mr Bellows and myself shortly before he died.
