bed :—
Flint Knife or Dagger.— [This very fine implement was

here (Fig. 7). I have tried to persuade him to add this to the
objects in the collection when they are placed in the Essex Field
Club's Natural History Museum at Stratford. I trust that

may do so. The implement measures 53/4 inches in length and
2 inches at the greatest width. A similar specimen is figured in
Evan's Stone Implements, page 349, fig. 264.—F.W.R.]
