Abstract
IN July 1930 I made the discovery that the Lower Estuarine Clay of north-east Ireland contains a pene-contemporaneous and well-developed flint industry of Late Magdalenian age. Subsequent investigations in the company of my friend Mr. C. Blake Whelan resulted in the recovery of several hundreds of these artefacts from the two small exposures of Lower Estuarine Clay on the western shore of Island Magee.1 The type specimens, exhibiting a distinctive blue patination, have been fully described and illustrated in my last paper.2
