Abbeville, the rising 

 ground on the south- 

 east side of the town 

 on which is situated 

 the Champ de Mars, the 

 Moulin Quignon, and 

 the suburb of St. Grilles, 

 and Mautort on the 

 west. 



" There are two pits 

 at Mautort where flint 

 implements have been 

 found, one a shallow 

 one, no longer worked, 

 in the valley near the 

 church, and another one 

 on the side of the hill 

 on the road leading to 

 Moyenville, and at a 

 height probably about 

 equal to that of Moulin 

 Quignon, or about 90 

 feet above the valley. 

 The section, which was 

 badly exposed on the 

 two occasions when I 

 was there, consists pro- 

 bably of — 1. Brown 

 sandy clay and a few 

 angular fragments of 

 flint, 6 feet. 2. Sub- 

 angular ochreous and 

 ferruginous flint-gravel, 

 4 feet. 3. White and 

 yellow sand, irregular, 

 3 feet. 4. Coarse light 

 sandy, chalky, and marly 

 flint-gravel ; no bones : 

 flint implements said 

 to be met with at a 

 depth of six to eight 

 feet ; reposing upon an 

 irregular surface of 

 chalky 12 ? feet. The 

 flint implements here 

 are remarkable for their 

 bright wldte colour. 

 The bed of gravel ceases 

 at this elevation, but 

 the hill rises to a height 

 of two hundred and 

 fifty-two feet, showing 

 chalk with a slight cover 

 ing of red clay and flints.
