Some

 were 
 also

 Mr.

 has 
 verified 
 as

 — 
 

Arvicola,

 (vole). 
 Tinea

 (tench). 
 

Leuciscus

 rutilus 
 (roach). 
 Esox

 (pike). 
 

The

 same 
 stratum 
 contains 
 abundance 
 of 
 wood, 
 and 
 some 
 time 
 

ago

 the 
 trunk 
 and 
 main 
 branches 
 of 
 a 
 forest 
 tree 
 (Mr. 
 Aldous 
 says 
 

an

 oak) 
 were 
 found 
 imbedded 
 in 
 the 
 loam. 
 

rTo

 palaeolithic 
 implements 
 were 
 found 
 at 
 Saint 
 Cross, 
 though 
 

flint

 flakes 
 and 
 drippings, 
 more 
 or 
 less 
 suggestive 
 of 
 human 
 agency, 
 

are

 common 
 in 
 bed 
 b. 
 On 
 a 
 recent 
 visit 
 to 
 the 
 brickyard 
 a 
 work- 
 

man

 gave 
 me 
 a 
 small 
 cast 
 bronze 
 or 
 copper 
 adze, 
 which 
 he 
 had 
 

obtained

 some 
 years 
 ago 
 from 
 bed 
 c, 
 into 
 which 
 possibly 
 it 
 had 
 

fallen

 from 
 the 
 surface 
 of 
 the 
 section 
 t. 
 I 
 may 
 mention 
 here 
 that 
 

when

 the 
 present 
 series 
 of 
 excavations 
 at 
 Saint 
 Cross 
 was 
 begun, 
 

it

 was 
 found 
 that 
 the 
 brickyard 
 had 
 been 
 tenanted 
 before 
 by 
 an 
 

older

 generation 
 of 
 workmen. 
 A 
 kiln 
 filled 
 with 
 wood-ashes, 
 and 
 

of

 a 
 long 
 obsolete 
 pattern, 
 which 
 had 
 been 
 completely 
 buried 
 and 
 

grassed

 over, 
 was 
 dug 
 out, 
 and 
 a 
 quantity 
 of 
 abandoned 
 brickearth 
 

washed

 and 
 utilized. 
 

 Mr. 
 Reid 
 seems 
 to 
 have 
 found 
 no 
 trace 
 of 
 the 
 hawthorn 
 in 
 any 
 of 
 tbe 
 

postglacial

 deposits 
 be 
 bad 
 previously 
 examined.
