The relation of the different types of palaeolithic implements to the glacial epochs has also been the subject of a number of articles, wTitten from different points of view, which have appeared and are still appearing in Man, the monthly journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute. As a result it would appear that the opposing schools of thought are gradually narrowing down their differences to a point at which the issue may be submitted to the practical test of further geological investigation. The subject is to be ventilated further in a joint discussion between the Anthropological and Geological Sections of the British Association when that body meets at Hull in September next. The Anthropological Section will also discuss at the same meeting various matters relating to anthropologv and archfeolog\ of the north-east coastal area of England. Among these will be the important question of the occurrence in this country of the early Neolithic culture known as Magelmose, the character and dis- tribution of earlv Scandinavian art in the north of England, which will form the subject of a communi- cation from that well-known authoritv. Mr. W. <'i.

Little over four years ago, when two successive raids were made by British troops across the river and into the hills of Moab, the valley was the scene of some of the intensest fighting in any " side-show " during the war. As is well known, the valley just north of the Dead Sea is 1,200 feet below ocean level, and is the lowest
