Abstract

ON page 481 of NATURE for October 7, Mr. O. G. S. Crawford states that he believes one of the alleged harpoons said to have been found under the peat in Holderness to be genuine. At the Hull Meeting of the British Association he thought that both were genuine. After the spade-work to which he refers, I feel satisfied that he will consider both of them are modern. I am also glad to learn that he now regards the evidence supplied by the flint axe to be of no value, whereas formerly he considered that it helped to prove the great age of the harpoons.
