_Galley Hill_ (_Kent_). The gravel-pit whence the skeleton was obtained invades the 'high-level terrace-gravel' of the Thames valley. Such is the opinion of expert geologists (Hinton[26]). In the gravel-pit a section through ten feet of gravel is exposed above the chalk. The bones were eight feet from the top of the gravel. Palaeolithic implements of a primitive type have been obtained from the same deposit at Galley Hill. No precise designation seems to have been assigned to them. From the published figures, they seem to correspond to the earlier Acheulean or to the Chellean type. One in particular, resembles the implements found at Reculver, and I have recently seen similar specimens which had been obtained by dredging off the Kentish coast near Whitstable. Some of the Galley Hill implements are compared to the high plateau forms from Ightham. These must be of great antiquity. Professor Rutot in 1903 assigned the Galley Hill skeleton to a period by him named Mafflian. This diagnosis seems to have been based upon the characters of the implements. Recently however (1909) Professor Rutot has brought the skeleton down into the Strépyan epoch, which is much less ancient than that of Maffle. The associated fauna comes now into consideration. From the Galley Hill gravel-pit no mammalian remains other than the human skeleton have been reported, but the fauna of the 'high-level terrace' has been ascertained by observations in the vicinity of Galley Hill as well as in other parts of the Thames basin. The mollusc _Cyrena fluminalis_, indicative of a sub-tropical climate, has been found in these strata. As regards the mammalian fauna, it is interesting to compare the list given by Mr E. T. Newton in 1895, with that published by Mr M. A. C. Hinton in 1910 on the basis of independent observations. _Mr Newton's list_, 1895. 1. Elephas primigenius. 2. Hippopotamus. 3. Rhinoceros: species uncertain. 4. Bos. " " 5. Equus. " " 6. Cervus. " " 7. Felis leo. " " _Mr Hinton's list_, 1910. 1. Elephas antiquus (a more primitive form than E. primigenius). 2. No Hippopotamus (this occurs later, in the Middle Terrace). 3. Rhinoceros megarhinus. 4. Bos: species uncertain. 5. Equus: species similar to the Pliocene E. stenonis. 6. Cervus: 3 species: one resembles the Fallow-deer (C. dama), a 'southern' form. 7. Felis leo. 8. Sus: species uncertain: bones of limbs shew primitive features. 9. Canis: species uncertain. 10. Delphinus: species uncertain. 11. Trogontherium: species differing from the Pliocene form. 12. Various smaller rodents, such as Voles.
