page 232 note 4 ‘Some 60 yards south of the Roman highway,’ presumably that distance from the modern Roman Road ; but p. 208 gives this site as 200 yards north of another find accurately located in Morville Street. Hence this coffin was probably found in Parnell Road (site 3), which is more than ¼ mile from Saxon or Coborn Road. On the other hand, some of the railway employés remember a stone coffin being found in Saxon Road (site 6).

page 234 note 2 Contemporary maps show these works covering a large area now bounded by Tredegar and Mostyn Roads, and the railway lines on the east and south, but the exact site of the discovery cannot be determined. The area includes the finds in Lacey and Morville Streets.

page 235 note 3 There is a temptation to regard the east-and-west burials as Christian, especially when there is no grave furniture, but the orientation of stone coffins varied considerably (e. g. Proceedings, 2nd S. xxi. 35).

page 238 note 1 Archaeologia, lx. 180. Stukeley looked upon the morass as a defence for the city on the north (Itin. Curiosum, ii. 12); and it is conceivable that the Walbrook was allowed to flood Moorfields for this purpose.

page 246 note 1 This does not occur in the lower forest bed (no. 8).

page 246 note 2 The temperate bed was therefore not proved to be interglacial (between upper and lower boulder clays) as contended by Mr. Bell (Quarterly Journal of Science, xiii. 293) and Sir Henry Howorth (Ice or Water, ii. 61). See Report of British Assoc., Liverpool 1896, p. 400.

page 247 note 1 The Hoxne palaeoliths seem to be of early St. Acheul type, whereas the brickearth at St. Acheul itself produces flints of the latest cave period. The Hoxne brickearth may be a much older deposit, or the implements may really have come from a lower stratum.
