Text Appearing Before Image:
presentthe first crude attempts by man to fashion stone into serviceableform.^ They have therefore been named Eoliths. Fortunately the study of the flints has not been hampered hypaucity of material. Their number is enormous. Mr. Harrison,for example, collected over 2000 specimens between 1892 andSeptember 1894.^ Sir Joseph Prestwich figured a large series,which may be divided into two sets—flaked Palaeolithic implementsand chipped Eoliths. The former were not found in situ, and insome cases ^ were of a colour different from that of the plateau-flints ;but it is only flints of the plateau-coloured type that we need consider:the rest may be dismissed as specimens of a later date, which hadfallen upon the surface of the^plateau-gravel, or have been found in 1 Prestwich, Quart.

I was at first led to accept the Eoliths as artificial, as I knewof no natural flints of the same shape and character. But a moredetailed study of specimens, most kindly lent or given to me byMr. Harrison, caused me to recant my belief in the human originof the Eolithic chipping. My reasons were stated in a shortpaper in Natural Science ^; they are mainly based upon the factsthat the chipping is of different dates, even in the same specimen,and that it was produced after the specimens were embedded in theplateau-gravel. Since that paper was published Mr. Harrison has kindly sent mesome further specimens which advance the question an importantstage. I am very grateful to him for his permission to describesome of these specimens. They prove two propositions :— 1st. That man lived on the Kent
