Abstract
THIS volume, dealing with stone implements from foreign sites, completes the publication by the British Museum of the Sturge Bequest, the vast collection of stone implements bequeathed to the nation by Dr. Allen Sturge, who died on March 27, 1919. The first volume by Mr. Reginald Smith dealt with implements from sites in Britain ; and in the volume now issued the same authority has selected a representative sample of the remaining implements. Of these the greater number come from France, but other sites represented are in the various countries of Europe, Asia Minor, Egypt, Africa, north, east, west and south, Palestine, India, the Far East and Australia. The American section is regarded as ethnographical, and has been omitted.
