208 REV. R. A. BULLEN, B.A.. ON EOLITHIC IMPLEMENTS. 
Furthermore, in the sculpturing of the Wealden hill-ranges 
glacial agency must have had a large share, as we learn 
from Prestwich’s memoirs above referred to and insisted on in 
the extract from Professor Rupert Jones's paper at p. 17, and 
that from Mr. A. Santer Kennard, p. 18. In my old parish 
in Kent (Shoreham), in the churchy ard, at a depth of about 
3 feet, an indurated chalk-rubble (locally called “chart ”) 
occurs, Which was so hard that it blunted the best pick-axes, 
and its rocky character caused my sexton much trouble. It 
was from this stratum, but on the other side of the river, at 
Mill Hill, Shoreham, at about 240 feet O.D., that the tusk of 
Elephas primigenius was obtained, which "passed into the 
possession of Sir Joseph Prestwich. 
§ XIV. Other Observers: S. J. B. Skertchley, O. Fisher, H. 
Hicks, O. A. Shrubsole, W. J. LL. Abbott, C. Reid, J. Lomas, 
R. A. Bullen, H. P. Blackmore, H. B. Woodward, G. A. J. 
Cole.—Since 1890 various workers have been elucidating 
the epoch of man’s appearance, and thei labours with 
singular unanimity have all pointed to the pre-glacial 
advent of man in Britain. 
Omitting the finding of a well-marked flake of human 
workmanship by Skertchley in 1879, which has the support* 
of Rev. Osmond Fisher, M.A., F.G.S., who visited the spot, 
and is a first-class authority, and omitting also the equally 
impertant testimony of Dr. Henry Hicks, F.R.S.f (late 
President of the Geological Society), we will pass to other 
records of pre-glacial man. 
ita ss 945 and previously, Mr. O. A. Shrubsole, F.G.S., 
found in deposits of Southern Drift at a general level of 
400 feet above O.D., on an elongated plateau between 
Easthampstead, Berks, and Ash Common, near Aldershot, 
several implements of a rude and primitive character. He 
did not come across the common ty pes of highly finished 
paleeolithic implement, such as those of the Somme, Thames, 
and other valleys.t
