Harlyn Bay and the Discoveries of its Prehistoric Remains. By
R. Ashington Sullen. (Swan Sonnenschein and Co. 2s. (3d.)— This volume, a second edition revised and enlarged, describes with admirable lucidity a prehistoric (neolithic) burial-ground, dis- covered, under an enormous accumulation of wind-blown sand, on the shores of Harlyn Bay, North Cornwall. A large number of more or less complete human skeletons and mammalian bones, together with spindle-wheels, pottery, implements made of flint and slate, and other objects, have been found. Mr. Bullen deserves high praise for the thoroughness with which he has collected and arranged the material of this book. The illustra- tions are very good, and show at a glance the importance and interest of these remains. There is a misprint in the heading of p. 82.
