II.—Problems of Pre-Palaeolithic Man.
[No locality]. (Antonio Brady, T. & P., i., 1880, pp. xxvii.,
xxviii., xxxiii.). Two carvings of the human face (one
in Reindeer antler), stated to have been found in situ
in Glacial drift, are discussed. Mr. W. G. Smith con-
sidered them to be undoubtedly modern forgeries. 1
Newport (J. E.Greenhill, Proc., iv., 1884, p. xcv.). A sup-
posed "palaeolithic" implement from below the Boulder
Clay, in the possession of the head-master of Newport
Grammar School. 2
Felstead (A.W. Rowe, Proc., iv., 1884, p. xcvi.). "Palaeo-
liths" from Boulder Clay. It is interesting to note that
this evidence was accepted at the time by Mr. W. G. Smith,
although, upon fuller investigation, he came, like many
others, to the conclusion that there was no satisfactory
foundation for pre-palaeolithic man. 3
Braintree (J. W. Kenworthy, Proc., iv., 1885, p. clxxviii ;
E.N., xiv., 1906, p. 165). "Palaeoliths" from Boulder
Clay, rejected by Mr. W. G. Smith. 4
Walton, Red Crag (H. Stopes, E.N., ii., 1888, p. 82, quo-
tation). The well-known specimen of the shell Pectun-
culus with a grotesque carving of the human face. 5
Walderslade, Kent (J. P. Johnson, E.N., xii., 1902, pp. 207-
217 ; 7 figs.). Eoliths of Kentish type from plateau gravel,
associated with striated flints. 6
Well Hill, W. Kent (J. Russell Larkby, E.N., xiii., 1904,
328-336, figs, of 8 eoliths and 1 palaeolith). Eoliths from
plateau gravel, again associated with irregularly striated
flints.
