THE ANTIQUARIES JOURNAL. 



Part 2 of The Antiquaries Journal contains a report of 

 a paper and discussion relating to the discovery of some Flints 

 upon which have been scratched representations of animals. 

 A photograph of the principal examples is reproduced, and 

 by the courtesy of the Editor of that publication we are able 

 to put it before our readers. The discovery was nnde by 

 Mr. Leslie Armstrong while excavating in the famous Grimes 

 Graves in Norfolk. As will be seen, scratched upon the 



weathered surfaces of Flint nodules are representations of 

 Elks. 



GRIMES GRAVES.

 recently read at a joint meeting of the Anthropological 

 Society and the Prehistoric Society of East Anglia, in London,

 Prehistoric Society, great caution should be exercised before 

 accepting the scratchings as of human work of very old date. 

 He considered that there was certainly a catch somewhere. 

 If the drawing was of palaeolithic date, it is difficult to under- 

 stand how it can possibly have been associated with the 

 Grimes Graves, which the special report issued by the Society
