Archaeologia cantiana . ck shelters,and in some places to be the openings of caves. There is atradition of a smugglers cave there now.

From types of implements, as illustrating their relativeages, we have great difficulty in drawing conclusions with anyprecision. At Northfleet, for instance, five different formsof hdches were found ; all made on the same spot, with greatdiversity of finish, at the same time that it continued to bea flaking floor. But there are some types, in our district,which seem to work in with other conditions, and help toclassify our worked flints, on bases not too narrow, in some-thing like a comparative scale. Therefore my list is roughlydivided under the following heads:—. 94 PALAEOLITHIC IMPLEMENTS A. Nos. 1, 2, 3 are extremely worn, and roughly made; they must have travelled far ; they constitute the oldestof my list. B. Nos. 4, 5 are less rudely made and worn by river action ; probably later in Nob. 6 to 12 are transitional. I am uncertain underwhich head to place them in consequence of peculiaritiesin form and wear, but they mostly belong to C. B. No. 1. Dimensions. Where found. 0. D. Mark. Owner.
