Abstract
1. FROM an examination recently made by me of the Sligo shelter-site, I consider that the coast at, and for some distance east of, the beacon on Coney Island (that part illustrated by Messrs. Boswell and Jones in NATURE of June 2) is undergoing erosion under present conditions, but that at Rosses Point it is possible, though only just possible, that the remains of a rock-shelter could have survived since Palæolithic times, the odds against survival being of the order of at least 100 to 1.
