60 FLINT FLAKES IN CORNWALL. 



The Land's End. — On the moors along the coast from Enys 

 Dodnan to the Coastguard station at Sennen, flint flakes, &c., 

 abound. I found in this district almost all the known forms 

 of the smaller flint implements, in all stages of manufacture, 

 with pebbles, cores, and fragments, whilst the material 

 itself has been drawn not only from the Chalk, but also from 

 the Greensand. 



SciLLY Islands." — On the high land of Tresco, scattered over the 

 surface of many acres, broken flints are to be met with in 

 considerable number I have never visited this spot, but» 

 through the kindness of friends, I have many specimens 

 collected there — some of these undoubtedly shew that they 

 have been manipulated by man. I have also broken flints 

 from St. Mary's. 



Cape Cornwall, St. Just. — On this little promontory I have 

 found a few flakes : on some parts of St. Just Moor they 

 occur in abundance, and I have found some in close prox- 

 imity to the Men-an-tol and the Lanyon Quoit. 



Penzance. — Some years since, in turning over the earth that had 

 been thrown out of a barrow recently opened on Lady Down, 

 above Leskudjack, I picked out an elegant flint knife, and a 

 long unwrought piece of flint ; both of these presented the 

 appearance of having been subjected to fire, possibly the 

 funeral fire of the interment. I also found several frag- 

 ments of rude pottery ; these, I have no doubt, were parts of 

 the cinerary urn. 



Newquay. — At Newquay, on the moor near the promontory, are 

 many barrows, some of which have been opened, others 

 have been partially destroyed, and the earth, &c., (of which 

 they were composed) scattered over the Down. I have 

 found here many fiakes, also an arrow-head of weathered 

 flint, of rather an unusual form. 



DosMARE Pool. — Although no traces of Lake Dwellings could be 

 observed when Dosmare Pool was entirely dry in the summer 

 of 1866, yet the presence of hut-circles, barrows, &c., on the 

 surrounding moor; the five "Kings' graves," one since 

 destroyed, on Bron Gilly ; and the vast quantity of fiakes, 

 pieces, and some arrow-heads from the peat ; would indicate
