120 Notes and Comments. 
formed another centre of the invasion; the round-heads 
conquered that part of Scotland. For our present purpose their 
extensive settlement in the lowlands of Aberdeenshire and along 
the southern shores of the Moray Firth are the most important. 
In recent years Prof. Reid and Dr. Alex. Low, of the University 
of Aberdeen, have made us familiar with the Bronze-age men 
of the north-east of Scotland. These more northern invaders 
had their own peculiar kind of round-headedness, a kind 
remarkably flat on the crown—just as they had their own kind 
of graves, their own kind of pottery and ornaments.’ 
NEWSPAPER ARCHABOLOGY. 
Excavations made in connection with home defence have 
exposed some skeletons in North Lincolnshire. According to 
the Press, ‘the peaceful and picturesque park at Riby was 
the scene of a somewhat startling and gruesome character 
recently. While excavating, a beautifully preserved and 
compact skeleton of a finely developed man, well over six 
feet in height was unearthed. The teeth were so fastly em- 
bedded in the jaws that even now it is impossible to draw 
them out. Through the groin was a dagger about six inches 
in length. This however, was in a corroded condition that at 
the merest touch it crumbled away to powder. Quite close 
to these remains were found an ancient earthenware jar, 
possibly of an ancient type, which had been buried long before 
the skeletons, as the figuring upon the vessel, according to an 
authority suggests the period of the ancient Briton.’ Some 
printed semi-parchment was another interesting find. ‘Now 
what does the discovery of all these human remains suggest ? 
We have it in history that there were battles in every part of 
Lincolnshire during the Civil War of the seventeenth century !’ 
It seems that apparently part of an Anglo-Saxon cemetery was 
discovered. Possibly however, the parchment will tell us all 
about it. 
CONE-IN-CONE STRUCTURE. 
At a recent meeting of the London Geological Society, 
Mr. S. R. Haselhurst gave ‘Some Observations on Cone-in- 
Cone Structure and their Relation to its Origin.’ He outlined 
the phenomenon of megascopic pseudostromatism, and certain 
tectonic features which are always associated with cone-in-cone 
structure in areas where it is greatly developed. He pointed 
to the disadvantage accruing from many observers not having 
seen it im sifu on a large scale, and endeavoured to show how a 
simulation of horizontality in stratification masks what he took 
to be the key to the diagnosis of this structure. Two typical 
areas are described :—(a) The St. Mary’s Island-Tynemouth 
district of the D,; Coal-Measures of Northumberland; (b) The 
Hawsker-Robin Hood’s Bay-Ravenscar district of the North 
Riding of Yorkshire. The specimens collected in these areas
