10 DEIFT-GEAVELS AT WEST WICKHAM. [Feb. I9OO, 



Limpsfield, seemed to be represented by only one specimen from 

 West Wickham. Again, the Author's flint-implements had under- 

 gone much more wear than those of Limpsfield, which from the 

 levels is natural, and he agreed with the Author that they had come 

 from various sources and had travelled in some cases for great 

 distances. 



Mr. A. E. Saltee stated that he had gone over the ground 

 described by the Author, in company with Mr. Kennard, who 

 (subsequently to Mr. Clinch's discoveries) had obtained a large 

 number of Palaeolithic implements and flakes from it. The deposit 

 in which they occurred did not seem to be a definite bed of gravel, 

 the specimens being found on the surface in company with a hetero- 

 geneous collection of materials, derived possibly from the London 

 dust-carts. The valley-drift mentioned by the Author was quite 

 distinct from that in which the implements occurred, and was, in 

 the speaker's opinion, of later age. 



The Peesident and Mr. E. A. Maetin also spoke. 



The Attthoe, in reply to Mr. Salter, pointed out that although no 

 section, in the accepted sense of the term, existed in the second bed 

 of gravel described, the effect of long-continued cultivation of the 

 land had been to expose, in places on each side of the valley, un- 

 disturbed Drift-gravel. It was also pointed out that the implements 

 bear evidences of Drift- wear, and have unquestionably formed part 

 of a spread of Drift-gravel, although they were found upon the 

 surface of arable land, and not in situ in their bed of gravel.
