168 PALEOLITHIC IMPLEMENTS FROM WILTSHIRE. [May I909, 



Mr. "VYhitakek, in answer to remarks that had been made, agreed 

 that the Author used the term eolithic for a class of implement 

 rather than for a geological period ; hut this was a legitimate use. 

 There were other cases than that near Reading where the implements 

 of a lower and newer terrace were of a ruder kind than those of a 

 higher and older one. He had himself suggested that it was not 

 height above the sea that should be chiefly considered, in regard to 

 the age of gravels, etc., but height above the neighbouring ground. 

 While he was not disposed to accept all the specimens exhibited 

 as worked, he felt that it was very satisfactory to have a good local 

 observer making these finds in places where implements had not 

 been found before.
