  Sir 
  E. 
  Ray 
  Lankester. 
  On 
  some 
  

  

  They 
  may 
  have 
  remained 
  undisturbed 
  on 
  the 
  land 
  surface, 
  or 
  embedded 
  

   superficially, 
  for 
  long 
  ages 
  after 
  that 
  period, 
  and 
  may 
  have 
  been 
  swept 
  up 
  by 
  

   the 
  waters 
  which 
  deposited 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  later 
  gravels. 
  Some 
  of 
  them 
  exhibit 
  

   such 
  evidence 
  of 
  water-wearing, 
  since 
  they 
  were 
  flaked 
  into 
  shape, 
  as 
  to 
  

   suggest 
  a 
  more 
  ancient 
  origin 
  and 
  history 
  than 
  that 
  of 
  palseoliths 
  of 
  recognised 
  

   types 
  found 
  in 
  gravels 
  of 
  the 
  age 
  in 
  which 
  these 
  specimens 
  occur. 
  But 
  this 
  is 
  

   not, 
  by 
  any 
  means, 
  invariably 
  the 
  case. 
  It 
  is 
  true 
  of 
  Prof. 
  Marr's 
  Cambridge 
  

   specimen 
  (and 
  of 
  others 
  obtained 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Eeid 
  Moir 
  at 
  Mundesley, 
  not 
  

   yet 
  published), 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  others 
  which, 
  nevertheless, 
  have 
  

   been 
  taken 
  from 
  gravels 
  deposited 
  at 
  a 
  period 
  long 
  subsequent 
  to 
  the 
  sub-Crag 
  

   detritus 
  and 
  stone-bed. 
  The 
  rostro-carinate 
  implement 
  from 
  the 
  raised 
  beach 
  

   at 
  Island 
  MacGee, 
  figured 
  by 
  me 
  in 
  the 
  Eoyal 
  Anthropol. 
  Inst. 
  ' 
  Occasional 
  

   Papers,' 
  No. 
  4, 
  is 
  a 
  case 
  in 
  point. 
  It 
  has 
  suffered 
  very 
  little 
  from 
  water 
  wear 
  

   or 
  attrition. 
  Remarkable 
  in 
  this 
  respect 
  is 
  the 
  specimen 
  here 
  figured 
  (figs. 
  2 
  

   to 
  5) 
  from 
  Icklingham, 
  the 
  fracture 
  edges 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  very 
  clean 
  and 
  sharp, 
  

   though 
  not 
  to 
  the 
  same 
  degree 
  as 
  those 
  of 
  a 
  newly 
  fractured 
  flint. 
  Less 
  

   fresh 
  in 
  appearance, 
  and 
  strongly 
  iron-stained 
  and 
  polished, 
  but 
  still 
  not 
  

   much 
  " 
  rubbed 
  down," 
  are 
  the 
  rostro-carinates 
  figured 
  in 
  this 
  paper 
  from 
  the 
  

   Oise 
  (figs. 
  6, 
  8, 
  10, 
  12), 
  from 
  Burnham 
  Beeches 
  (figs. 
  7, 
  9, 
  11), 
  and 
  from 
  

   Sonning 
  (figs. 
  13 
  and 
  14). 
  

  

  Nomenclature 
  of 
  Rostro-carinates. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  often 
  convenient 
  to 
  refer 
  by 
  means 
  of 
  names 
  to 
  the 
  more 
  remarkable 
  

  

  specimens 
  of 
  rostro-carinate 
  flints 
  which 
  have 
  been 
  described 
  and 
  carefully 
  

  

  illustrated 
  in 
  published 
  memoirs. 
  Thus 
  we 
  have 
  the 
  " 
  Evans-Lackenheath 
  

  

  specimen,"* 
  the 
  " 
  Moir-Foxhall 
  pebble,"f 
  the 
  Moir-Whittonj 
  Uncinate,"§ 
  the 
  

  

  " 
  Moir-Whitton 
  sub-Crag 
  massive 
  "|| 
  being 
  a 
  few 
  from 
  among 
  those 
  figured 
  

  

  and 
  described 
  in 
  my 
  memoir 
  in 
  1911. 
  Then 
  we 
  have 
  the 
  " 
  Clarke-Norwich 
  

  

  test 
  specimen 
  "1F 
  and 
  the 
  " 
  Lankester-MacGee 
  specimen,"** 
  so 
  named 
  to 
  

  

  distinguish 
  it 
  among 
  the 
  large 
  series 
  collected 
  by 
  Mr. 
  W. 
  G. 
  Knowles, 
  of 
  

  

  Ballymena. 
  The 
  list 
  could 
  be 
  advantageously 
  extended 
  by 
  giving 
  like 
  names 
  

  

  to 
  the 
  more 
  important 
  mid-glacial 
  and 
  Boulder 
  Clay 
  specimens 
  figured 
  by

  Moir,
