Andros family. These were taken from paintings in the 

 possession of Rev. Stevens Guille, of St. George, Catel. 

 Miss Carey's paper will be found elsewhere in this volume. 



Mr. A. Collenette read "Notes on a deposit of Glacial 

 Clay and its contents at an elevation of 300 feet O.D." 

 The contents or finds were recently discovered in Mr. 

 Collenette's garden, at Brooklyn, Fort Road. They were 

 exhibited at the meeting and included half-a-dozen flint 

 scrapers, shapings from cores, and a core from which a flint 

 hand been knocked off, a quantity of sea-worn pebbles, several 

 small boulders, a sub-angular stone with striations and parts of 

 two bones. One of the latter was only a fragment ; the other 

 was about three inches in length and was merely a shell. 

 It had been examined by Dr. A. S. Woodward, of the 

 British Museum, who had determined it to be part of the 

 humerus of a pig, but the species was undeterminable. Mr. 

 Collenette considered the things mentioned above had been 

 deposited where they were found by floating or melting ice. 

 The clay and its contents were deposited continuously and 

 from above. There was a complete absence of stratification, 

 hence the clay could not have been water deposited from 

 streams. Mr. Collenette therefore associated the deposit 

 with ice movement which could easily have collected and 

 deposited the clay and its contents. The flints are indefinite 

 as to age, and might be referred, by different persons, to late 

 Paleolithic or early Neolithic ages. The deposit, being 

 glacial, favoured the opinion of the flints being Paleolithic, 

 and if this is confirmed, it is practically the first indication of 

 Paleolithic man in Guernsey. The flints were examined by 

 Mr. R. M. Marett and Dr. Arthur Evans, at Oxford. 



An animated discussion, in which several members took 

 part, followed.
