EARLY MAN centrally. The whole length is 12 ft. 4 in., width 2 ft. 10 in., and depth 12 to 15 in. The other canoe is smaller and less elaborated, with a length of I oft. 8 in., breadth about 2 ft. 6 in. towards the prow and i ft. 10 in. nearer the stern. The prow is beaked while the stern is rounded. There is again a suggestion of peg holes, but the canoe is very poorly preserved. The evidence of association takes these canoes back to considerable antiquity, certainly before the urus became extinct in the locality. Topographical and Bibliographical List of Prehistoric Antiquities Found in Lancashire The complete bibliography on the subject of Early Man in Lancashire may be found in The Archaelogical Survey of Lancashire, edited by W. Harrison, Esq. and issued under the auspices of the Society of Antiquaries, which constitutes the essential preliminary index to the antiquities of the county. Recent finds and researches made since 1896 have augmented this list, and are incorporated below. Much information not separately acknowledged has naturally been derived from correspon- dence with archaeologists in the county and from personal inspection of the various museums and numerous private collections.
