with its mammalian remains, and abundance of Palaeolithic flint 

 implements, mostly of the spear-head type. 



Secondly. The low-level gravel of Montiers (Amiens) and 

 of Menchecourt (Abbeville) with the Corbicuta Jluminalis, mam- 

 malian remains and Palaeolithic flint implements of somewhat 

 though slightly different types. This rests at the last-named 

 place upon an estuarine shelly bed, the equivalent of the Raised 

 Beach on the coast. To these succeed well-developed fluviatile 

 beds. 



Thirdly. The Rubble-drift sweeps down from heights above 

 Abbeville and covers all the preceding beds unconformably, 

 carrying with it land-shells and some Palaeolithic implements ; 

 it then passes down to and is lost under the Alluvial deposits of 

 the valley. 



Lastly. The Alluvial deposits which overlie the trail of the 

 Rubble-drift, and are continuous from the Neolithic to the 

 present times.

 together with a few Batrachians and river Fishes, and objects 

 in flint and bone worked by Palaeolithic Man. 



The remains of Neolithic age are less easily determined, as they 

 seem to be in some cases included with the older species. To take 

 however one instance, about which there can be no doubt, as 

 Human Remains were found with pottery and objects in flint
