intended to say, in regard to the boulder clay, that the excessive cold in the South of England in the pleistocene period would have been quite sufficient to destroy the Elephas meridionalis if it existed at that time.

The Rev. R. A. BULLEN (continuing) said: Anything that Professor Hull states commands great respect, but these plateaugravels of Kent are so far removed in their relative position from demonstrably pleistocene gravel that we must consider them to be pre-glacial. I do not care whether you call them pre-glacial or not; but they certainly have nothing to do with the mid-pleistocene, and if Professor Hull studied the evidence on the spot I think he would come to the same conclusion. It is such a tremendously wide subject that we must be guided by the opinions of specialists.

I have never had the pleasure of seeing the museum at Stockholm. That is a great pleasure to come, I hope. As far as I understand, the implements of which the Chairman spoke are of neolithic age. I think all those who have to do with this subject will say they are not masters of it as yet, but just simply students.

The proceedings terminated.
