Mr. A. W. Franks, F.S.A., Keeper of the Ethnographical Depart- 

 ment, and of the " Christy Museum," kindly infonns me that he 

 has examined and identified the following works of human industry, 



^ Of the relative depth at which these various works of human industry were 

 actually obtained, only a rough estimate can be formed, as they have, in almost every 

 case, been obtained by Mr. Joseph Wood (the well-known collector of Bradford Clay 

 Fossils) from the Navvies employed in the excavation. The writer was so fortunate as 

 to obtain on the East side of the Eastern Reservoir a Flint Scraper, which he extracted 

 with his own bauds in undisturbed matrix from the bed of dark loamy clay, three feet 

 below the surface. 



^ Having the antlers and ends of the tynes in many instances cut previous to their 

 having been imbedded.
