Abstract
IN 1926 the Royal Anthropological Institute held an exhibition illustrating the microlithic industries of Britain, to which all who were then known to be interested and engaged in forming collections of implements of this phase of the Stone Age were asked to contribute. The mesolithic period had been somewhat neglected by British archæologists; and it is probable that it came as a surprise, even in archaeological circles, to find how considerable was the amount of material which it had been possible to get together and the increase in the interest taken during the early years following the War in these remarkable products of man's skill and ingenuity.
