sand of the Bridlington 'Crag"' — placing the genuiness of the 

 specimen beyond doubt. 



Its appearance amongst a collection of marine shells is 

 somewhat unexpected, but Mr. Lamplugh has drawn attention 

 to the fact that amongst the material which he examined some 

 years ago exposed in front of the promenade at Bridlington, 

 were some streaks of peat-like material containing traces of 

 land fauna and flora. A reduced photograph of the tooth is 

 reproduced herewith. The original is 3^2 inches long and 

 I inch wide at its widest part. The top of it is fractured, which 

 appears to be of recent date.

Neolithic Remains in Durham. — Referring to Mr. C. T. 

 Trechmann's note in 'The Naturalist' for March (pp. 77-78), 

 the following is a list of further neolithic remains found in 

 Durham : — 



1. A fine hammer-head, of pohshed granite, taken from the Wear at 



Sunderland. 



2. An axe- or hammer-head, of Greenstone, perforated to admit a 



handle, found at Millfield, near Sunderland. 



3. A stone hamn;er-head, found at Coves Houses, near Wolsing'ham. 



4. Three liammer-heads found at Eg^g-lestone-in-Teesdale. 



5. A hamnier-liead, found at Redworth. 



6. An axe of Greenstone, measuring- inches long", found at Sherburn. 



7. An axe-head of basalt, dug- out of a peat moss at Cowshill in Wear- 



dale. 



8. An axe-head, found near Stanhope. 



The first-named is in the possession of the Society of Antiquaries, 

 of New^castle ; the remainder were formerly in the possession 

 of Canon Greenwell and others. Solitary arrow-heads made 

 of flint have been found in Morden Carrs, near Sedgefield, 

 and also in the neighbourhood of Castle Eden, Ebchester, 

 Edmundbyers, Lanchester, Medomsley, Satley, Stanhope, etc. 

 Large numbers of arrow-heads have from time to time been 

 found in the fields at Hamsterley in the Wear Valley, and 

 in Weardale, leading one to believe that there had been a 

 manufactory of such weapons somewhere in those districts. 

 The most extensive discoveries of this kind have been made 

 at Newton Kelton, about four miles from Darlington, where 

 hundreds of flint implements, arrow-heads, scrapers, knives, and 

 flakes have been found in association with beads made of amber 

 and jet, and of white and deep blue glass. — J. W. Fawcftt,
