ARCHAEOLOGICAL RELICS IN HUNTINGDONSMRE.
A number of interesting little events continually happen in out-of-the-way country places and are never recorded, even in the local papers. Indeed, local papers pay as a rule too little attention to the history and the natural history of their county. Now in the shire of Huntingdon, which is very small and absurdly thinly populated, archaeological discoveries of wide and peculiar interest are being made not in one place but in several. For example, Romano-British sites are being excavated at Colne and at that very beautiful and distinctive village—for it is little more—of Godman- &ester. If any one period of our history is in need of more light it is the very period illustrated in these recent excava- tions and again a good number of palaeolithic—if they are paiaeolithic—flint instruments are being found between St. Neots and Hartford.
