Extract

In my Presidential Address to the Geologists' Association I briefly referred to the flint flakings of the Weybourne Crag of the Cromer Coast, to which attention was first directed by Mr. F. N. Haward. During several recent visits I have been greatly impressed with the richness of this site in those remarkable flakings which are now so well known from the Ipswich district.

page 309 note 3 It will be gathered that I take the Crag flakings which are found together as an associated group of common origin, just as one takes the flakings from Chelles, Milton Street, or Le Moustier. Some authorities select a few of the Crag flakes with chipped edges while rejecting the rostro-carinates, with most of their associates. This appears to me equivalent to selecting a few of the scrapers from Grimes Graves for acceptance, while rejecting the axes, cores, etc., from which (broadly speaking) the flakes were struck off. Let it be granted that nature has made nineteen of the flakings, then she can equally make the twentieth, which is a little more attractive.
