BOATS. Ill 



East Havelland (Brandenbui'g), on sandy soil covered by a layer of peat exceed- 

 ing three meters in thickness.* 



Two Danish oaken dug-outs or rather their remnants in the Copenhagen 

 Museum, which probably belong to the bronze age, are represented in Worsaac's 

 catalogue. Yet the distinguished archaeologist is not altogether certain as to 

 their antiquity, for the word Broncealderen with an interrogation-mark after it 

 forms the heading of the page on which they are figured.f 



Here I bring my account of prehistoric fishing in Europe to a close.

f Worsaae: Nordisko Oldsager ; p. 66, Pigs. 294 and 295. On page 65 of his catalogue Mr. Worsaao repre- 

 sents in Fig. 293 a bronze-ago coffin, consisting of the excavated half of an oak -stem with truncated ends. Below 

 the figure the word Liigkiste is printed, which means Leifhenkiste in German, and corpse-chest in English. M. 

 Gabriel de Mortillet erroneously refers to it as a Danish canoe of the bronze age (Materiaux, Vol. Ill, 1867 ; 

 p. 43).
