JET. 66.] EASTER EXCURSION. 277 



The following letter gives the itinerary for the Easter 

 excursion ; it was only slightly altered on the return 

 journey to Paris : 



J. Prestwick to J. Evans. OXFORD, 28th March 1878. 



MY DEAR EVANS, M. Massenat will do as well as M. Laval- 

 lant for Brives. What was the place you had in view in the 

 neighbourhood of Poitiers ? The caves on the Charente, between 

 Civray and Charroux, seem to me of considerable interest. See 

 M. de Longuemar's 'Kapport sur une Exploration methodique 

 des Grottes du Chaffaud ' ; also the 1869 ' Congres International 

 d'Anthropologie,' Copenhagen, pp. 128-134. 



I would therefore propose to take the 9.30 A.M. train on the 

 14th April from Paris to Civray, and the omnibus at once to 

 Charroux, where a M. Brouillet has a collection. 



15. Work our way along the Charente to Civray : sleep there, 

 and take the 9.14 A.M. train to Dax. 



16. Proceed by the 11.25 A.M. train to Bayonne. 



17. Bayonne and neighbourhood. 



18. Coast from Biarritz to St Jean de Luz, &c., on to Irun or 

 San Sebastian. 



19. Coast-section, and return to Bayonne. 



20. 5.50 A.M. train to Toulouse, stopping one day at some place 

 to be settled on en route. 



22 and 23. Toulouse and neighbourhood. 



24. 5 A.M. train to Brives, and spend the day there. You 

 know, I suppose, the few papers on this district. 



25 and 26. Brives to Tarascon, and thence along the Vezere by 

 Martignac to Le Bugue and Les Eyzies. 



27. Perigueux and some other place, and on to Limoges. 



28. 10 A.M. train to Paris. 



29. Eeturn to London, or if the 3 train would do for our 

 return there, we might have a day to spare for Paris or else- 

 where. I find I must leave out the Creuse and the Correze. 

 Our route south of Bayonne must also depend on information 

 we receive there. You can discuss this plan with Hughes on 

 Sunday, and next week I hope to meet you at the Geological. 

 Ever sincerely yours, J. PEESTWICH.
