(1902), and of myself (1895) establish the Eolith in the proud 

 position of occupying the high plateau above the 400 feet contour, 

 or its equivalent further to the south. (See Sheets 314, 329, Geol. 

 Survey, new 1 inch map, printed in colours.)

It is noteworthy that all the Eolithic localities examined, both 

 by Dr. Blackmore and Mr. Westlake, occur at a higher level than 

 the second terrace, 300 feet O.D. (the Eolithic), in Mr. Clement Keid'& 

 diagram of the Terraces of the Avon,* and that the other localities 

 at Alum Chine and Hinton Admiral Common are on the high plateau 

 further south, though at a less elevation O.D. because of the 

 southward slope of the plains. 



1 Blackmore, in letter. ^ Westlake, in letter. 



^ This is the highest point in the New Forest. 



* These lower terraces seem to correspond to those so successfully worked by 

 Mr. S. Hazzledine Warren, F.G.S., in the Isle of Wight (Geol. Mag., Sept. 1900, 

 pp. 406-410). They are inserted here merely to contrast the well-defined terraces 

 yielding accepted Palaeolithic forms and the higher Eolithic terraces.
