which could be 

 plainly traced by the 

 flood - drift in the 

 trees and bushes, 

 rose 5 or 6 feet 

 above the river - 

 bank, and 10 or 11 

 feet above the flake. 

 There is no donbt 

 that both implement 

 and flake lay at the 

 base of a gravel of 

 the Maramba, 3 or 

 4 miles from the 

 Zambesi, and pro- 

 bably 30 feet above 

 its flood-level. 



I was fortunate 

 enough to find, not 

 far off, two imple- 

 ments of palaeolithic 

 type, pointed at one 

 end, with a rounded 

 butt. One lay on 

 the river-bank some 

 feet below flood - 

 level, and the other 

 on a shoal of stones 

 in the dry bed of 

 the river. They 

 measure 6| inches 

 in length and 3| 

 inches in breadth ; 

 the material is a 

 brown quartzite,and 

 they have been much 

 rolled. A flaked 

 stone of the same 

 material was also 

 found on the bank, 

 and other pieces 

 were seen. Whether 

 that material is to 

 be met with near 

 the sources of the 

 river has yet to be 

 proved.
