Abstract
MR. J. E. SAINTY and the late Mr. Reid Moir have reported the occasional finding, in the Sub-Crag deposits of Norfolk and Suffolk, of flint flakes which they ascribed to human manufacture. Being so sporadic, these flakes have been doubted by some (including myself) as definite indication of the presence of man or of a man-like form. My own doubts have been completely dispelled by the discovery of an excellent flake industry at this horizon occurring at five different sites near Cromer.
