FLINTS. 
In volume 18 of ‘The Cambridge Antiquarian Society’s 
Communications,’ Professor T. McKenny Hughes has an 
interesting paper on ‘ Flints.’ Fewer people have had greater 
experience than Professor McKenny Hughes,> consequently 
his remarks will be perused by students with the greatest 
possible profit. In reference to the alleged artificial nature 
of the sub-Crag Flint implements described by Sir Ray Lankes- 
ter, Professor McKenny Hughes writes :— I must, however, 
say that I have failed to arrive at the same conclusion, but 
find that identical forms are produced under shore conditions 
which must have been similar to those under which the Suffolk 
Bone Bed was laid down.’

At the recent meeting of the Geological Society Dr. J. E. 
Marr read a paper on ‘ The Ashgillian Succession in the Tract 
to the West of Coniston Lake.’ Dr. Marr has studied in detail
