from 
here 
field-level, which I have carefully examined. I think, 
the numerous lamellae of the various teeth, that we have 
the antiquus, not mammoth. A num- 
ber of other remains, including the 
vertebrae and teeth, much-fossilized, 
of other animals of smaller dimensions 
(? Aurochs) are now being identified 
for me in London. I would recall the 
fact some time ago communicated to 
the Club by me of the identified re- 
mains of Rhinoceros Tichorinus, in the 
gravel-pit at Paradise, near Painswick, 
over 40 years ago, because this huge 
mammal was the frequent companion 
of the Elephas antiquus in these riverine 
deposits, and we may well look for its 
bones in the gravel-pits near Barnwood. 
The sand there is distributed in suc- 
cessive layers between the Oolite grit, 
abounding with worn-down Brachiopods 
and Echinus. 
A palseolith {see photograph) of the 
following dimensions has been found in 
the Upton Lane gravel-pith tlie point 
of it only having suffered fracture 
at its dislodgement by the workman’s 
pick. It is boldly flaked off, or reduced 
to appropriate form and size, and of 
a rich yellow colour. Measurements 
at base : — 
inches thick (at base) Palaolith, side view, full size. 
4 inches in length 
4 inches breadth (at base) 
The palseolith is of Chellean (late) Period, and is of unusual 
interest, as possibly the first of such to be recorded in this 
County. The Club is indebted to Mrs Clifford for permission to 
illustrate it. St. Clair Baddeley. 
I Mr T. G. Barnett informs me that the palseolith was found about 7-8 inches from the top of 
the deposit of gravel — this being some 18-20 feet in depth, and covered with some 2 feet of humus.
