Nos. 23 and 24 are from the drift capping the cliff at Bourne- 
mouth. The first implement from Bournemouth was found by 
Mr. Alfred H. Stevens, of Salisbury, in May, 1866.

In this Case the less perfect specimens from Bury St. Edmunds, 
Icklingham, and Thetford, are exhibited.

In this Case, the less perfect specimens from Milford Hill, 
Bemerton, Hill Head, and Bournemouth are exhibited.

In this Case, in addition to the implements from the drift of 
France already alluded to, there is a series of implements made 
of quartzite from the laterite deposits of the Madras Presidency, 
East Indies — Nos. i to 8. They are of the same types as the 
implements from the drift of England and France, and were 
found by Mr. R. Bruce Foote, F.G.S., of the Geological Survey 
of India, who has presented them to the collection. 
These quartzite implements occur scattered irregularly upon the 
surface of rising grounds, and even upon open plains, in some cases 
as much as 2000 feet above the present level of the sea. They 
have, however, been more frequently obtained from the beds of 
the little lateral valleys of the streams, and appear in such cases 
to have been washed out of the beds of gravel and shingle 
exposed on the banks of these valleys. They have been found 
in situ, at depths ranging from four to seven feet, in a bed of 
pale yellow and greyish coarse clay, more or less mixed with 
sand, fine gravel, and shingle, which sometimes attains a thick- 
ness of twenty feet. 
In a paper read by Mr. Bruce Foote at Norwich, in August, 
1868, he pointed out that all the types of flint implements present 
in the drift of England and France occur in the laterite deposits 
of Madras. He stated that the discoidal specimens from the 
East Indies were more finely worked than any he had seen 
from the drift of Western Europe. Oval and ovoid forms of 
implements occur abundantly in the laterite beds ; many of 
these, however, have a square chisel-like cutting edge at one 
end : this type is rare in drift deposits. No. 9 is the cast of 
an implement from the drift of Spain ; it is an example of 
the type named, and closely resembles the specimen (No. i) 
immediately beneath it, from the gorge of the Naggery River. 
The discovery of the original of No. 9 in the quaternary beds of 
San-Isidro, near Madrid, was announced to the Geological Society
