Notice of Human Eemains in Cornwall. — Dear Sir, — While read- 
ing the Autobiography of Mary Anne Schimmelpenninck, I met with the 
following passage in one of her letters, which, as bearing on a most in- 
teresting subject at the present time, deserves to be further investigated 
by those of your readers who reside near the place mentioned, in order to 
discover the truth of her statement. 
In describing her journey from Truro to Falmouth, she says, " ISTear 
Gvrennap is a place worth seeing, called Caruon Stream Works. Instead 
of mining for tin, they here direct streams over the sides of the hills, so 
as to wash down the loose tin, which is here termed ' stream tin.' Here 
have been found many interesting antiquities, — a pickaxe made of elk's- 
horn, flint arrow-heads, and human skeletons, — buried beneath several 
strata (alternately of fresh- water and marine shells), twenty-four feet from 
the present surface of the ground." This was written in 1825. 
Yours trul}', E. D., Berwick-upon-Tweed.

TuETLii Eemains in THE UppER Gkeensand. — The phosphatic uodulcs 
of the Upper Greensand of Cambridge are well known to geologists from 
their extensive commercial use in the manufacture of super-phospliate of 
lime for agricultural purposes. The nodules have been secreted in or 
around various organic remains, many of which, such as the bones, were 
often, probably, broken up before the concretion of the phosphatic matter
