  Some 
  minute 
  teeth 
  and 
  bones 
  of 
  vertebrates 
  were 
  also 
  found, 
  

   which 
  Mr. 
  Newton 
  has 
  verified 
  as 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  Arvicola, 
  sp. 
  (vole). 
  Tinea 
  vulgaris 
  (tench). 
  

  

  Leuciscus 
  rutilus 
  (roach). 
  Esox 
  lucius 
  (pike). 
  

  

  The 
  same 
  stratum 
  contains 
  abundance 
  of 
  wood, 
  and 
  some 
  time 
  

   ago 
  the 
  trunk 
  and 
  main 
  branches 
  of 
  a 
  forest 
  tree 
  (Mr. 
  Aldous 
  says 
  

   an 
  oak) 
  were 
  found 
  imbedded 
  in 
  the 
  loam. 
  

  

  rTo 
  palaeolithic 
  implements 
  were 
  found 
  at 
  Saint 
  Cross, 
  though 
  

   flint 
  flakes 
  and 
  drippings, 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  suggestive 
  of 
  human 
  agency, 
  

   are 
  common 
  in 
  bed 
  b. 
  On 
  a 
  recent 
  visit 
  to 
  the 
  brickyard 
  a 
  work- 
  

   man 
  gave 
  me 
  a 
  small 
  cast 
  bronze 
  or 
  copper 
  adze, 
  which 
  he 
  had 
  

   obtained 
  some 
  years 
  ago 
  from 
  bed 
  c, 
  into 
  which 
  possibly 
  it 
  had 
  

   fallen 
  from 
  the 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  section 
  t. 
  I 
  may 
  mention 
  here 
  that 
  

   when 
  the 
  present 
  series 
  of 
  excavations 
  at 
  Saint 
  Cross 
  was 
  begun, 
  

   it 
  was 
  found 
  that 
  the 
  brickyard 
  had 
  been 
  tenanted 
  before 
  by 
  an 
  

   older 
  generation 
  of 
  workmen. 
  A 
  kiln 
  filled 
  with 
  wood-ashes, 
  and 
  

   of 
  a 
  long 
  obsolete 
  pattern, 
  which 
  had 
  been 
  completely 
  buried 
  and 
  

   grassed 
  over, 
  was 
  dug 
  out, 
  and 
  a 
  quantity 
  of 
  abandoned 
  brickearth 
  

   washed 
  and 
  utilized.

  Mr. 
  Reid 
  seems 
  to 
  have 
  found 
  no 
  trace 
  of 
  the 
  hawthorn 
  in 
  any 
  of 
  tbe 
  

   postglacial 
  deposits

  examined.
