The second quarterly number of the Antiquaries Journal (H. Milford

for the Society of Antiquaries, 5s. net) maintains the high promise of the first number. Sir Lawrence Weaver describes the recent discovery of a prehistoric burial at Amesbury. Two archaeologists set forth rival theories about the site of the battle of Ethandun, where Alfred defeated the Danes. Mr. Reginald A. Smith discusses the significance of the early Irish gold crescents in connexion with moon-worship and the mistletoe. Mr. Leslie Armstrong describes and illustrates two engraved flints lately found at Grime's Graves, Norfolk. The prehistoric artist drew deer with considerable vigour, having regard to the hardneas of his material.
