the Godavery gravels by Mr. Wynne. Now the fauna of the Goda- 
very gravels consists of animals having European or African affini- 
ties, while the recent fauna has Malay relations; therefore they 
differ much more widely than the Pleistocene animals of Europe do 
from those now existing on the continent. If, therefore, we accept 
the flake found by Mr. Wynne as conclusive of the existence of man 
in India during the deposition of the Godavery gravels, this con- 
clusion as to the relative antiquity of the periods, though a little 
crude, is legitimate enough. 
We should mention that, in addition to Mr. Blanford, the fol- 
lowing gentlemen have contributed their notes to this highly in- 
teresting series, Mr. King, Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Ball. 
A second supplement to the ‘ Recueil d’Antiquités Suisses’ was 
published last year by the Baron de Bonstetten, and contains six- 
teen large folio plates of the objects recently discovered, with a few 
remarks in explanation of them. ‘The list embraces almost every 
description of object, from implements of the Stone age found in the 
lake-dwelling of Greng (lake of Morat) to mosaic pavements and 
various relics of still later date. 
In a letter to M. Lartét, published in the ‘ Bibliotheque Univer- 
selle’ for March, M. Favre has recorded the discovery of a human 
station of the Stone age, in which remains of the Reindeer have been 
found, in a small elevation (monticule) at Veirier, at the foot of 
Mont Saléve, not far from Geneva. Hitherto remains of the Rein- 
deer have been found in the terrace-alluvium in but five localities 
in Switzerland, namely, at three places on the Lake of Geneva, 
at Meilen on the borders of the Lake of Zurich, and at Windisch 
on the Reuss. With the Reindeer occur remains of the Horse, Ox, 
Cervus elaphus, Lepus variabilis, L. cwniculus, the Marmot, Meles 
taxus, the Ptarmigan, the Sheep or the Bouquetin, human bones 
(fragments of skull, &c.), small worked flints, and various other 
examples of human workmanship. These remains were found at 
a height of 42 métres above the present level of the river Arve, 
and it seems clear that since the glacial period the water of the 
river has reached to a height of 58 or 40 métres above its present 
level. M. Favre believes that the mound was inhabited by man 
when the water of the river was at a higher level than it now 
attains, though probably not when it was at its highest; and 
M. Lartét expresses his opinion, in a reply to M. Favre, that the 
Reindeer period is probably not of the same age, but somewhat 
more ancient, in southern Europe than in more northern latitudes, 
the animal having migrated northwards. 
The ‘Report of the Proceedings of the Geological and Poly- 
technic Society of the West Riding of Yorkshire’ contains a very 
readable and interesting paper by the Rey. Canon Greenwell, “On 
the Inhabitants of Yorkshire in Pre-Roman Times,” which is chiefly 
occupied with a description of the manners and customs of “the
