Abstract
AN examination of the whole of the material now available makes it abundantly clear as to the general plan upon which the Sligo implements were made (see NATURE, Aug. 20, p. 260).

These layers frequently break with a fracture vertical to their longer axis, thus producing oblong masses of limestone such as is outlined in Fig. 1 (A).
