other objects, were found, the best of which we brought away.

DUNFANAGHT. 
I visited this place in the end of the past summer, accompanied by 
the Rev. Canon Grainger, M.E.I. A. "We discovered in the sand-hills 
inear this town a great number of hut sites on the sand. The sandy 
covering had been all removed, and we counted over fifty sites not far 
from the shore and beside a stream of fresh water. In some cases the 
hut sites were very close together, and longish stones against which 
they had placed their fires were in several cases standing up. Some 
of the sites showed a boundary of stones but rather irregularly placed. 
IThe diameter of one which I found in nearly perfect condition was 
eight paces, or about twenty-four feet. The old surface and floors 
were exposed and full of sea-shells. Patella, Cardium, and Littorina, 
were the most abundant, but Ostrea, IMytilus, Pecten, and Purpura were 
ialso present. Remains of red deer, ox, pig, and horse, were found; but 
I here, as at all the other stations, there was a general absence of fish 
bones. This is rather strange, as most of the sites are in close prox- 
I imity to good fishing stations. Flint of any kind was very scarce ; but 
II found one scraper, shown in PI. xi., fig. 1, a small core, and two 
small flakes. I also show a scraper of quartzite in PL xi., fig. 2. 
They used this material and milky quartz, both of which are found in 
the neighbourhood, for implements. Delicate chipping, which is so 
sure a sign of workmanship in flint, does not show on quartz and 
quartzite, and therefore scrapers and other weapons which were no 
doubt manufactured from these materials cannot so easily be demon- 
strated to be artificial productions. I brought away several objects 
which, in my opinion, were implements, among the rest a small axe 
of the Portrush type, and some scrapers. I obtained an excellent 
example of an anvil-stone pitted on both sides. One side is still 
black from lying on the old surface, and the other side which has been 
exposed to the weather has the sharpness of the pitting greatly blunted, 
though the stone is hard quartzite. It is 7 inches long, and 4^ broad, 
and shows by its abraded ends that it has also been used as a hammer- 
stone. It is shown half -size in PI. xi., fig. 5, and can be compared 
with specimens from Whitepark Bay, Portrush, and Bundoran, which 
are also figured. Among the objects procured by Canon Grainger was 
the point of a tine of red deer, partly sawn through. The sawing has
