The examples of Vallonia pulchella are the true Az/chel/a, 
and not the allied forms V. costata (Mill.), or V. 
excentrica, Sterki, which are frequently “lumped” with it. 
Ena montana and E. obscura are extremely rare in a 
fossil state, which is the more remarkable since both forms 
are known from the Pleistocene of Barnwell. The first- 
named is a true woodland species, whose area of distribu- 
tion in England has greatly diminished in quite modern 
times. 
All the examples of Cochlicopa lubrica are extremely 
small, and exactly resemble the form occurring on the 
coast sandhills of Ireland. 
Jaminia (Pupa) secale is another rare form in beds of 
any age. It is known from the Pleistocene and Holocene 
of Dover and the Holocene of St. Catherine’s Down, Isle 
of Wight. 
Judging from the species represented and their relative 
proportions, they indicate moist woodland conditions, and 
are of great importance as showing the molluscan fauna 
in pre-Roman or early Roman times. All the species are 
known to live in the county, but it is quite possible that a 
collection of existing species would show that other forms 
have migrated into the area since Roman times, and one 
form, Helicella caperata (Mont.,) which now lives com- 
monly in the locality, is absent from the old soil, and thus 
is obviously a modern immigrant. 
CONCLUSIONS. 
From the above facts it is possible to come to fairly 
definite conclusions as to the age of the settlement. 
These folk had domesticated the horse, ox, sheep, pig, 
and fowl, which they used as food. The horse was of the 
size usually found in pre-Roman times, the sheep was 
smaller than any Roman sheep we have seen, and the ox 
was also a small breed. In all these there is no trace of
