A HISTORY OF SUFFOLK 



lithic deposits. Thus they are found in the later deposits of the well-known 

 caves of Mentone, which are believed to belong to a civilization following 

 the Mousterian described in the first part of this article. And they have 

 been met with in large numbers in certain caves in central France, the 

 deposits of which belong to one phase of the great Magdalenian Age ; in 

 both these cases being associated w^ith the remains of extinct animals. As 

 with many other branches of prehistoric archaeology much remains to be 

 found out about these ' midgets,' whether palaeolithic or neolithic. Thus 

 far their discovery has added one more to the many fascinating problems 

 attaching to the study of the great science of the evolution of the civilization 

 of mankind.
