and will talk as much or as little as the occasion may demand. 

 Yours very truly, GEORGE BOLLESTON. 



P.S. It is the boar's head dinner at Merton to-day, but there 

 are bores enough outside that college, so I don't ask you to go

A note to Mr Harrison urges a search for fossil bones 

 as well as for implements. 



J. Prestwich to B. Harrison. OXFOED, 9th Feb. 1881. 



DEAR SIR, ... I am glad to hear of your further finds, and 

 to learn that you have been more successful than I was two 

 or three years ago in finding flint implements in the high-level 

 Gravel. The cutting we examined was the one at the station. 

 We had not, however, much time to give to the search. The 

 position is very analogous to the flint-bearing high-level Gravel at 

 Salisbury, and bears some analogy to the Eeculver Gravels. In

 when the new cuttings are made. I hope to be at Shoreham in 

 the summer ; and I am, yours truly, JOSEPH PRESTWICH.

 Association at York in 1881, Professor Prestwich made
