Mr. T. C. Cantrill’s paper ,‘ Stone-boiling in the British 
Isles,’ was referred to in The Naturalist for October. 
A series of flint implements was exhibited by Mr. W. Dale. 
These were all obtained from Hampshire, and well illustrate 
the continuity of the Paleolithic and Neolithic Ages, and 
support the contention of many archeologists that no hiatus 
exists between these periods. 
_Mr. O. G. S. Crawfurd’s paper was an attempt to give a 
list as complete as possible of bronze axes of French type 
found in Britain and to point out certain features in the 
distribution. By such investigations strong evidence is 
obtained of ‘ Trade between Britain and France in the Neo- 
lithic and Bronze Ages.’ 
Mr. T. J. Jehu and Mr. A. J. B. Wace gave the interesting 
results obtained by them in the course of ‘ Excavations in the 
Kinkell Cave, St. Andrews.” The cave had been inhabited in. 
Roman and early Christian times. It is unfortunate that the 
material for the dating of the time of human habitation of 
the cave is so meagre, but the geological data, 1.e., the ‘ 25-foot ” 
raised beach, recording an uplift of land after the appearance 
of Neolithic man, give the earlier limit of the age of the cave, 
and the ‘finds’ undoubtedly point to its occupation during 
Roman times. 
An account of the “Excavations on the site of the Roman 
town of Viroconium at Wroxeter’ was given by Mr. J. P. 
Bushe-Fox. The site appears to have been inhabited from 
the earliest days of the Roman conquest. Tombstones of 
soldiers of the Fourteenth Legion, which left Britain finally 
in A.D. 70, have been found. Excavations revealed foundations 
of buildings which appeared to have been large shops with 
dwelling rooms at the back and verandahs in front. The 
buildings had undergone many alterations (in one case no 
fewer than five) during the three hundred and fifty years of 
the Roman occupation. Over three hundred pieces of the 
pottery found bear potters’ names.* The coins numbered 
about three hundred, and ranged from Claudius, A.D. 41, to 
Gratian, A.D. 383. This year a building, probably a temple, 
has been discovered. 
Dr. A. Irving gave a sequel to his communication to the 
Section in Ig1r on the ‘ Prehistoric Horse Remains in the 
Stort Valley.’ 
Mr. F. Smith introduced in his ‘ Paleolithic Guillotine 
* We understand that a card index of these has been made during the 
course of the excavations, a practice which we should like to hear has been 
widely adopted by others engaged in similar excavation work.
