Are not these evidences of over-reaching ?—Edwin E. Turner,

Prehistoric Site at Langham Mill, Essex. —At the 
meeting on 25th January 1913, Mr. Wrigley exhibited some 
specimens of “ worked ” flints from Langham Mill on the 
River Stour, Essex. He made the following remarks :— 
The site occupies the top of a low bank a little way from 
the river. This bank or rising ground forms a natural boundary 
to the flood waters. From the quantity of waste chips and small 
spalls of flint found in a small area, it would seem that there 
must have been a working site of the Neolithic or Bronze Age 
here. A few well-trimmed scrapers and some neat cores were 
found. The flakes are all lustrous, without any alteration 
of colour. No large worked flints occur, but they may have 
formerly existed, for the field has been well cleared of all its 
larger stones. To judge from the cortex on some of the flakes, 
the raw material used was obtained from the flints of the local 
river-gravel. It is to be hoped that this site and similar spots 
on the Essex side of the Stour would receive some attention 
from collectors, as there do not seem to be any published records 
of the occurrence of Neolithic remains in this- neighbourhood.—

Red Deer at large in Epping Forest. —About three years 
ago [circa iqh] a Red Deer hind defeated the stag hounds after 
running through the Forest to the Rocling beyond Loughton 
Station. After a few days she found her way to the Forest and 
lived in comparative peace for some time in Monks Wood. I 
say comparative peace, for she always attacked any fallow deer 
who came near her. 
In the following spring, she used to come out of the Forest 
every evening and graze in the company of two mares with foals, 
in a field adjoining farm buildings. She soon got accustomed to 
mankind and only trotted round the field if any human being 
went into it. That autumn she moved her daily quarters to a 
private wood near the Forest and has remained there ever since, 
with an occasional visit to the Forest. She attacks any dog 
which attempts to go near her and allows any human being to 
go within 20 yards of her, except with a camera, and generally 
follows them across the field she is in about 70 yards behind them,
