352 PLATEAU IMPLEMENTS. [1890-91. 



made, when the Professor displayed as much energy 

 and activity as if he had received a new lease of life. 

 A stay at Brighton, as guests of Mr and Mrs Willett, 

 was an enjoyable time, as much geology as possible 

 being fitted into two or three days. When out near 

 Newhaven it was a pleasure to others to witness the 

 keen interest and precision with which his quick eye 

 detected traces of low inland cliffs, showing the limit 

 of the former wider range of the river. A few days 

 were spent also at Broomfield, near Stockport, with 

 his sister, Mrs Russell Scott, when the sight of a new 

 district lured him to keep on the move early and 

 late.

DARENT-HULME, SHOREHAM, 1st November 1890. 



MY DEAR EVANS, Time is slipping on, and still finds us here. 

 I have, in fact, not been to London, it seems to me, for months. 

 The Geological Session will, however, soon be beginning, and I 

 hope to meet at some of the meetings. When do you leave for 

 the South ? I have done little field-work this summer, owing to 

 the long-continued wet weather. My allies have, however, been 

 busy. Mr Harrison has not left a ridge unexplored, and has 

 now discovered some fifteen localities, ranging from 450' to 750' 

 above 0. D., for implements of the Ash type ; and Mr Crawshay 

 has found some eight or nine others ranging from 470' to 860', 

 also one of the Hill type near Green Street Green. I need not 

 say, if you have leisure, how much pleasure it would give us to see 

 you down here on a little visit. We shall be glad to hear how 

 you all are ; and with our united kind and affectionate regards, I 

 am, ever sincerely yours, JOSEPH PRESTWICH. 



We were grieved to hear of Mrs Busk's death. We valued 

 her greatly.
