Abstract
IN the course of the last forty years, animal bones found in numerous archæological excavations in Britain have been sent to Dr. J. Wilfrid Jackson, of Manchester University Museum, for investigation and report. In most cases the excavators allowed Dr. Jackson to retain the material, and he has thus been able to build up an extensive and unique collection of dated skeletal remains of animals hunted or husbanded by man down the ages. The English part he has now presented to the British Museum (Natural History), where, in the Osteological Section of the Department of Zoology, it will serve as the basis of a central reference collection of dated mammalian bones from prehistoric and early historic sites in Great Britain. This collection will be in the charge of Dr. F. C. Fraser. It is understood that Dr. Jackson is presenting material from Welsh and Scottish sites to the respective national museums.
