their colour. Then a distinct people had used only red and black- 
coloured flint. Those who used white flint had a settlement on the 
clifi' at Sewerby and another at Bempton. An ancient British village, 
of which only a few traces remain, was situated in a field in front of 
the Rev. Mr. Lloyd's house, the principal part of which has been 
destroyed by the falling of the cliff" that once extended into the bay 
to an unknown distance. This village was enclosed by an earthwork 
which commenced at the cliff", and passing round the eastern side of 
the village was continued in a nearly straight line to Old Bridlington. 
It was perfect up to the time of the enclosure of the parish about 60 
years since, when the present road was formed partly on the line of 
the embankment. There were also two lines of embankment from 
the angle at Sewerby leading in a straight line to the Danes Dyke, 
with a road between them, intended to connect the two lines of en- 
trenchments, and to form a secure passage between them. One of 
these banks was taken away when the new road was formed, but part 
of the other bank still remained. The sunk fence in front of Mr. 
Lloyd's house is a part of the enclosed road, and shows its original 
level with its exact line of position. Mr. Ffooks made several investi- 
gations of these embankments and amongst the tumuli, and gave a 
detailed description of the result, along with a somewhat sensationally 
interesting account of the strife which took place between the inhabi- 
tants of the several settlements. He concluded by stating that the 
weapons and implements mentioned in this account of his researches 
are to be handed over to the trustees to be appointed by the Sailors' 
Club in Bridlington, in order to preserve them for general inspection, 
and he trusted they might remain preserved for as many future gene- 
rations as they have existed during past ones. 
At the same meeting a paper was read by Professor Wm. Boyd 
Dawkins, F.R.S., on the Pleistocene Mammals of Yorkshire, The 
term pleistocene is regarded as synonymous with those of post- 
pleistocene, pre-glacial, and glacial, and the animals existing in 
Yorkshire at this period amount in all to 22 species, nearly half the 
entire number of the pleistocene mammals whose remains have been 
found in Britain. They fall into five distinct groups, the first of 
which are all extinct ; the second at the present day confined to
