to Dr. Sturge, of Nice, and they are now in the south of 
France, to the great loss of East Yorkshire. 
(4.) The late Frederick Porter, of Yedingham, had gathered 
together several hundreds of stone and flint tools, among which 
were some good specimens. He disposed of a portion of them, 
I believe, to the Rev. Canon Greenwell, but I do not remember 
what became of the others when he removed from Yedingham 
to Jersey in 1868. 
(5.) The late Mr. Charles Monkman, of Mai ton, was for 
a considerable time an energetic collector. Some of his best

1877 my brother, the late Robert Mortimer, purchased the re- 
maining portion of Mr. Robertson's collection for <£25.
