 presented for the Museum ; remarking that they were obtained 

 from the Drift Beds of Devon and Cornwall, from Salisbury Plain, 

 from the Chalk Downs near Eastbourne, from near Thetford, and 

 from the Valley of the Somme. He was of opinion that a large 

 proportion of them were undoubtedly natural products ; others 

 had been chipped into form, ground, and polished, and they bore 

 evidence of use. These were obviously the work of man. There 

 was one specimen which was of great interest ; it was a large and 

 perfect Flint Flake, but the edges had been ground into form and 

 sharpened, and without doubt it had been Avorked by human 

 hands since its original formation. Some of the natural specimens 

 Mr. Whitley pointed out as being remarkably perfect in their 

 knife-like appearance, with marks as of chipping, and with the 

 so-called "percussion bulbs." He had also found, six feet deep 

 in chalk, a bunch of "flint cores" like those from which flakes 

 were said to have been wrought ; but, evidently, they had never 

 been handled by man, but were shattered in situ. Mr. Whitley 

 also exhibited some of the so-called "fossil beads," from St. 

 Acheul, and which were said to have been manufactured and worn
