Report for 18G4. 



Two of the papers which had been prepared, viz., by the Rev. 

 A. 0. Smith, on " Birds ;" and by Professor Buckland, on "Roman 

 Remains and Coins," were not read, but the Chairman said they 

 they would appear in the next number of the Wiltshire Magazine. 



A paper by Dr. Thurnam was then read on " an Incised 

 Marking on the impost of the great Trilithon, at Stonehenge.' , 

 This will appear in the next number of the Wiltshire Magazine. 



Mr. Cunnington then gave a description of the flint imple- 

 ments which had been recently found at Milford Hill, near 

 Salisbury, by workmen engaged in digging the foundations of some 

 villas erected there. They were deposited in a bed of gravel which 

 had plainly been at one time the bed of a river ; and with them 

 were also found bones of the extinct Rhinoceros and Mammoth. 



It is very remarkable that this deposit is as much as 80 feet 

 above the present bed of the river Avon, which flows hard by. 

 Amongst the flints lately found are some of the finest implements 

 of that description ever seen : they have been deposited by 

 Dr. Blackmore and Mr. James Brown, in the Salisbury and South 

 Wilts Museum.
