diluvial gravel ; a large fragment of a gigantic stag's horn ; 

 seven fragments of immense jaw bones ; and teeth in great 

 quantities. 



At no great distance some remains of antiquity were disco- 

 vered : a sort of burying-place has been distinctly traced out : 

 wood ashes, iron nails, and rude implements, with portions of 

 red and black pottery, were dug up ; and at about two miles 

 distance, fragments of the same pottery were found mixed with 

 a quantity of iron slag. 



In another spot on the banks of the Severn, in a bed of clay 

 nine feet below the surface, was dug up a sort of iron shovel, 

 much corroded, accompanied by fragments of red pottery, and 

 wood in a state resembling coal. — (Journal of Science.)

7. The Pantochronometer. 



An instrument has lately been presented to the public, under 

 this name, by Messrs. C. Essex and Co. which we think calcu- 

 lated to be of so much utility in familiarizing the minds ef 

 young people with several important points in astronomy, that 

 at a period when every effort is making to render scientific know- 

 ledge universally attainable, we think it worthy of particular 

 notice in the Annuls. The annexed figure will give a correct 

 idea of its appearance in one of the various forms in which it is 

 constructed.
