FLINT IMPLEMENTS.

picking up one or two implements of chipped flint." The occurrence 
of numerous chippings in special localities led the author to the con- 
clusion that they were sites of manufacturies of these implements, 
and that the people who lived in the district made their own weapons. 
These observations are interesting at the present time when flint 
implements are scarce and rarely met with, in comparison to the 
numbers found in Tindall's time. 
A communication was made by Mr. Thomas Pridgin Teale, 
F.L.S., in which he referred to the discovery of bones of hippopotamus 
and other animals discovered in a brickfield at Wortley, and 
previously delineated by Mr. Denny. He described a hewn stone of 
millstone grit, egg-shaped, truncated at one end, and hollowed out on 
the flat side, which was apparently an ancient quern or hand mill ; 
with this were also found two pieces of pottery, one of them rudely 
worked by hand, without decoration ; the other, a fragment of glazed 
pottery, ornamented on the outside with a number of star-like marks, 
impressed on the soft clay by a hard material. i\Ir. Teale states that 
these objects were found at a depth of five or six feet, and were near, 
though not actually in juxtaposition with the mammalian remains, 
and he was of opinion that they are of great antiquity, though he states 
that Mr. James "Wardle and others thought that they were of 
Roman or Anglo-Saxon date. 
Mr. Demi}^, at the Leeds meeting, in 1857, described the skull 
of a dog exhumed from the alluvial gravel of Norwich in 1851, which 
is at present located in the museum of the Philosophical Society at 
Leeds. It had been found, along with the bones of deer and other 
animals, by some workmen whilst sinking a shaft in the city of Nor- 
wich. Citing Professor Owen, he states that there is considerable 
difficulty in distinguishing the skull of the dog from that of the wolf 
Mr. Denny considers that the great size of the canine, the greater 
size and height of the occipital sagittal crests, and the triangular 
space between the orbits being narrower and flatter, distinguish the 
skull of the wolf from that of the dog. In the skull under discussion, 
these characters were not developed, and Mr. Denny had little doubt 
that it was a dog resembling the Irish hound, whose remains occur in 
the bogs of Ireland along with those of the gigantic deer. Mr. Denny,
