Abstract
IN reference to my friend Prof. Fairfield Osborn's remark in NATURE (Aug. 31, p. 345), I may say that Sir Ray Lankester's final opinion upon the age of the rostro-carinate flint implements, found beneath the Red Crag, was that they, and the Suffolk Bone Bed from which they were derived, are to be regarded, so far as East Anglia is concerned, as falling within the latest Pliocene, while he looked upon the Crag which surmounts the Bone Bed as being referable to the earliest Pleistocene. This, also, is my opinion.
