origin and rise of Menliirs or Pillar Stones. In the absence of the 
author, tlie paper was read by Mr. Fairless Barber, It was followed 
by a paper by the Rev. Scott F. Surtees, who described a Roman camp 
of considerable extent on Suttou Common, near Askern. After 
describing the station, the author states that this was the seat of the 
the colony Camulodunum, which had hitlierto been located by 
English authors in the south of France. He gave extracts from 
various authors to prove that Claudius's campaign was in Brigantia, 
and that it was here that he met and fought the ancient Britons. 
In April, 1869, Mr. Edward Tindall read a paper on the extinct 
fauna of the East Riding of Yorkshire. Amongst the most interesting 
of these were enumerated the beaver, the elk or moose dear, and the 
reindeer. Of the former animal a very fine skull was exhumed during 
some extensive drainage operations on the banks of a river near 
Wawne, in the neighbourhood of Beverley, in 1861, by Dr. Brereton. 
The skull belonged to a mature individual, and it was 6 inches in 
length and 4 inches in breadth, and was in a tolerable state of preser- 
vation. The paper is illustrated by a figure of it. The elk or moose 
deer was found in the spring of 1822, in drift gTavel, whilst con- 
structing a lake at Thorpe Hall, near Bridlington, at a depth of about 
41 feet from the surface ; and in 1868, a horn in the occipital portion 
of the skull of a female specimen was found near Carnaby. The 
horn of the reindeer was found in 1860, at the base of the cliff in a 
lacustrine deposit near the top of the lake at Skipsey. These animals 
all afford evidence of the severity of the climate which existed during 
the pleistocene period in this district. 
At the same meeting Mr. Denny described the occurrence of flint 
implements at Adel, near Leeds. In the latter part of the previous 
year, whilst excavating a small plot of ground at the back of the 
Reformatory, numerous fragments of flint were found, and various 
implements of the same material, forming arrow heads, javelin heads, 
knives, sling stones, and other objects. They were picked up by the 
boys at the Reformatory, while employed in digging the gi-ound, and 
would probably have been lost but for the accidental circumstance 
that one of them was seen by Mr. Twigg, the superintendent, who 
recognised the similarity they bore to similar objects in the Art
