LAMPLUGH: MAMMALTFEROrs GRAVEL AT ELLOUGHTON. 411 
much uncertainty remains it is impossible to deal satisfactorily with 
isolated beds like these. I have an impression that these gravels 
may be the inland representatives of the Kelsey Hill beds, and may 
be newer in age than the Hessle beds, but the evidence for this is 
weak and inconclusive, and need not be stated. 
My best thanks are due to H. Lyon, Esq., the owner of the pit 
and the residence adjoining, for his kindness in permitting me to try 
to remove the tusk, and for his aid in various other ways. 
ON THE ANCIENT FLINT-USERS OF YORKSHIRE. 
BY JAMES W. DAVIS, F.S.A., F-G S., ETC 
In July, 1886, a paper was communicated to a meeting of this 
society," " On the remains of a primitive people in the south-east 
corner of Yorkshire," by Thomas Wright, F.S.A. The author 
describes a number of flint implements which had been collected by 
Mr. Edward Tindall, of Bridlington, and Mr. Cape, also of that town. 
He states that there were implements of various lands made of 
chipped flint, among which the most common were arrow-heads, and 
others, similar but larger, which had probably been used for spears or 
javelins ; delicately-formed fish-hooks also chipped from flint, knives, 
saws, chisels, sling stones, and flat stones. The latter were sharp at 
the edge, and probably had served the purpose of scrapers to remove 
the internal fleshy part from the skins of animals. Occasional stone 
axes were found scattered over the district. Mr. Tindall informed 
the author, that the arrow and spear heads were most frequently 
found on the slopes of moorland on the sides of rather steep hills ; 
the sling stones were found in the greatest abundance in and near 
Flamborough ; ruder arrow-heads were found in the neighbourhood 
of Sewerby, three miles from the head ; and that those of most perfect 
make were found furthest inland. Another circumstance of which 
particular mention is made is that the flints occur in certain areas 
with much gTeater frequency than in others, and an observant person 
could not walk across those fields without finding specimens lying on 
the surface. Mr. Wright argues from this, that these areas are
