nOLOCENE DEPOSIT AT HARLTON. 



87 



judging from the section given above, and its position on a highei* 

 level, it may possibly antedate the other Romano-British deposit near 

 Butler's Spinne^.^ 



I have the pleasure of thanking Mr. Fisher for so kindly transcribing 

 his notes and lending his specimens for exhibition. 



Note : The dark layer, marked by crosses (p. 85), is the loamy 

 layer with land shells in which Ostrea and Mytilus occurred. The 

 boy's height is 5 feet. 



Mr. A. Sfinter Kennnrd, F.G.S., thinks, however, that the presence of Ostrea 

 ediilis phices it at Komau or post-Roman date. It may be so, but the denudation 

 and planing oif of the deposit on the south side seems to demand a longer period 

 than he allows.
