Abstract

THIS note refers to the nomenclature of the prehistoric flint industries found in (a) the basal gravel at Crayford and of the Ebbsfleet Channel, Kent, (b) the Upper and Lower floors in Bolton and Co.'s brickfield, Ipswich, and (c) similar floors in the sub-aerial loams of the Bean Valley and Ingress Vale, Kent. We propose in future to describe the specimens classified under (a) as Crayfordian, and those classified under (b) and (c) as Boltonian.
