274 SIMILAR DISCOVERIES IN OTHER COUNTIES, 



these counties, Mr. Warren, of Ixworth, found one on a heap 

 of gravel near Icklingham, which having been accidentally 

 seen by Mr. Evans led to the discovery of numerous other 

 specimens. One of these specimens closely resembles the one 

 represented in pi. 1, fig. 10, which was given to me by M. 

 Marcotte of Abbeville, who obtained it from Moulin Quignon. 



The next discovery was made by Mr. Leech, on the shore 

 between Herne Bay and Reculvers, whence many specimens 

 have been obtained, six by Mr. Leech, and others by Messrs. 

 Evans, Prestwich and Wyatt. In the gravel near Bedford, 

 again associated with the remains of the mammoth, rhino- 

 ceros, hippopotamus, ox, horse, and deer, Mr. Wyatt* has 

 found flint implements resembling both of the two principal 

 types found at Abbeville and Amiens. This case is very 

 interesting, because it shows that the drift flint hatchets are 

 subsequent to the boulder clay ; the Bedford valley being 

 cut through hills capped by a deposit of that period. At 

 Hoxne the bed containing flint implements appear actually 

 to rest on the boulder clay. 



Mr. Evans himself, near Abbot's Langley, in Hertford- 

 shire, has picked up on the surface of a field a weathered 

 hatchet with the top broken off, but otherwise identical in 

 form with the spearhead- shaped specimens from Amiens 

 and Herne Bay. 



Another implement of the round pointed form has been 

 discovered in Kent (Nov. 1861), on the surface of the ground 

 at the top of the hill on the east side of the Darent, about 

 a mile E.S.E. of Horton Kirby, by Mr. Whitaker, F.G.S., of 

 the Geological Survey ;"f and several more have since been ob- 

 tained by Mr. Whitaker and Mr. Hughes. Mr. H. G. Norman 

 found a single .specimen in Kent, near Greenstreet Green, a
