Notes and Comments. 



F.S.A., under the title of * Remains of the Pre-historic Age in 

 England ! In this the author summarises the evidences of the 

 handiwork of pre-historic man under different heads, and gives 

 a careful and up-to-date account of stone, bronze, and bone 

 implements, long and round barrows, megalithic remains, earth- 

 works, etc. After each chapter is a list of the various localities 

 (divided under ' counties ') in which the objects referred to are 

 known to occur, or have occurred. These lists are exceedingly 

 valuable, and enable the reader to see at a glance what evidence 



drawn. Two of the illustrations we are permitted to reproduce. 

 The first is a plan of a double interment in a round barrow 

 on Dunstable Downs. Judging from the number of chalk 

 echinoderms surrounding this interment, it might contain the 

 ancestors of our friend Dr. A. W. Rowe. The other is a neck- 

 lace of jet, consisting of four hundred and twenty pieces, which 

 bears many points of resemblance with that on Plate IV. of 

 'The Naturalist' for June 1903.

 Boulder clay at Blackpool. It is waterworn, and ' was derived

 Museums containing objects

 given as an appendix, and 

 is also most useful. Detailed 

 as these various lists are, 

 they might have been made 

 more complete had they 

 been submitted to different 

 archaeologists throughout 

 the country. We notice 

 several omissions under 

 ' Yorkshire ' for example.
