of glaciation — 'Scandinavia, Britain, and the Alps — would not 
be followed by a change of climate and ice'-distribution in 
the others, outlined some of the conclusions reached on arch- 
aeological grounds for which the support of geological evidence 
was needed. Mr. L. S. Palmer gave an account of some re- 
cent investigations on the South Coast of England which had 
been directed to the elucidation of the relation of climate, 
deposits and types of culture. The results were capable of 
equation with Penck’s system of classification. 
Prehistoric archaeology was well represented in the pro- 
gramme. In addition to the Ice-Age discussion, M. le Comte 
de St. Perier discussed the question of the presence of the 
Unio and Anodonta in prehistoric stations, pointing to the 
frequency of their occurrence in the early phases of the Neo- 
lithic Age and their absence from Palaeolithic sites. He also 
described a small statuette of a female of Palaeolothic Age, 
comparable with those from Brassempouy and elsewhere, 
which he had recently discovered in the South of France. 
Miss N. F. Layard described pre-historic cooking-places in 
Norfolk attributed to the early Bronze Age. Messrs. E. K. 
Tratman and J. A. Davies gave an account of some important 
excavations in caves in the Mendips, undertaken by the Spel- 
eological Society of the University of Bristol, which had 
brought to light implements of the Aurignacian and Mag- 
dalenian cultures, as well as remains of the Iron Age. An 
interesting and valuable contribution by Dr. Cyril Fox dealt 
with the distribution of population in the Cambridge area in 
early times, with special reference to the Bronze Age, and 
traced its relation to the gradual clearing of forested areas. 
Lord Dunsany and Mr. H. W. Seton-Karr described flint 
implements recently discovered in the Sahara and other parts 
of North Africa. 
One session of the Section was devoted to the archaeology 
of the East Riding and adjacent areas. This opened with an 
exhibition and description by Mr. Leslie Armstrong of two 
bone harpoons discovered in Holderness, which have been 
assigned to that late phase of palaeolithic culture known as 
Maglemose. The remarkable state of preservation of these 
relics gave rise to a lively discussion, in the course of which 
Mr. T. Sheppard openly questioned their authenticity, and Mr. 
O. G. S. Crawford, while accepting them as genuine, asked for 
further investigation of their age by excavation on the site on 
which they are said to have been found. Mr. W. Collingwood 
gave an account of Tenth Century Art in the Danelaw, very fully 
illustrated by lantern slides showing examples of sculptured 
stones. He suggested that the Danes, who settled in Northern 
and Eastern England about a.d. 900, adopted much of what 
they found there. Debased traditions of Anglian art were
