Various Short Notes.

I regard Little Punchard's Gill as quite a treasure house for 

 rare mosses, if only time can be found to work it. The results 

 of two hours' work there are quite satisfactory. Little Punchard's 

 Gill and Ravine are much like the Ireshope Burn and C lints, in 

 Weardale, both being of limestone, and, as far as worked, the 

 mosses are very similar, but in Weardale the mosses are mostly 

 rich in fruit, whereas in Punchard's Gill they are mostly barren. 

 This is caused no doubt by the gill being more in a hurry than 

 the Ireshope Burn, and having little opportunity of spreading 

 over its banks, being, in addition, more confined by the nearer 

 approach of the cliffs on either side. 



I am much obliged to Mr. Bagnall for his kind additional aid 

 in the case of the more critical mosses mentioned in this paper. 



NO TE—CONCHOLOGY. 



Vertigo angustior in Lincolnshire.— On the 27th of July I received 

 this addition to the fauna of Lincolnshire from Mr. C. S. Carter of Louth, 

 specimens of this species having- been found by him on 16th July at the roots 

 of grass on a sandbank in the warren at North Somercotes, in company 

 with V. edentula and V. pygmcea. — Jno. \Y. Taylor, Horsforth, 18th Sept.

NOTE— ANTHROPOLOGY. 



Neolithic Implements near Louth. -As there appear to be no 

 records for Louth district of Neolithic implements, the following may 

 be of interest. Since May 1899 I have found arrow-heads, scrapers, and 

 abundance of flakes of rather crude workmanship at Kelstern Grange. 

 From their number and character I am of opinion there existed an early 

 Neolithic Settlement. I have also found some good flakes near Goulceby. In 

 June last I found near Stewton a fine polished stone implement, measuring 

 4^ inches in length, 2%. inches wide at the broad end ; it is of adze type.

NOTES— PALAEONTOLOGY. 



Mammoth's Tooth at Robin Hood's Bay. — Mr. Ed. Storm, of Fyling 

 Thorpe, some time ago gave me part of a large tooth which he had found 

 on the beach at Robin Hood's Bay many years before. I assumed that it 

 was the tooth of an elephant brought home by a sailor and lost, but 

 Mr. Thomas Sheppard points out that it is part of a tooth of a Mammoth 

 {Elcphas print igenii(s). It is in good preservation, and was doubtless 

 derived from the boulder-clay. So far as I have been able to ascertain, this 

 is the most northerly record of its occurrence on the Yorkshire Coast. —

Red Chalk Fossils at Redhill, near Goulceby, Lines. N. In

 Lines.) and White's Lines., the following have been found in situ at Redhill. 

 near Goulceby : — A Polyzoon (Cyclocyathus fittoni?), Terebratula semiglobosa, 

 With a small Polyzoan rooted upon the dorsal valve, piece of Pentacrinites 

 stiMn, Rhynchonella (2 specimens), a curiously deformed Belemnites and
