thousand years ago crabbing was known. British archaeologists find traces of traps among the prehistoric Scots. To many of our readers this account will be entertaining. Wicker traps for crabs aided prehistoric man in forming his menu some 20,000 years ago. Important discoveries made by an expedition of Glasgow antiquarians may solve the problem of chronological valuation. This was made on the island of Oronsay, off the coast of Scotland. A considerable quantity of material taken from the sites on which the party worked has been delivered at the South Kensington Natural History Museum. The experts there are investigating the discoveries. As a result of the expedition it has been proved there existed at one time (about 20,000 years ago) on the shores of Scotland prehistoric shore-dwellers. They had a method of constructing traps, perhaps of wicker work, which they sunk in deep water to catch crabs. The man of that remote period had already learned the value of the deep-sea crab as an article of food. The remains found on the island have proved the existence of man somewhere between the later phases of the older Stone Age and the earlier phases of the younger Stone Age, in other words, between the Palaeolithic and Neolithic Ages. T His diet was more varied than that of the average Englishman today. He ate hazel nuts chiefly. In the refuse of his kitchens have been discovered many evidences of this. He had also some two dozen specimens of molluscs from which to select. In his larder have been found several dozen specimens of fish. The great auk was one of his dishes of wildfowl. The explorers found what was even more interesting than this. The prehistoric islander must have been a great hunter and lived happily on feasts of red deer and swine. It is believed from the remains on the island that at one time this curious man must have been something of a sailor, to gain the mainland, unless the mainland was joined to Oronsay by a strip of land which has since disappeared. The theory that finds most credence with the experts is that the prehistoric man made some sort of boat out of the skins of beasts slain in the chase, and stretched these on frames of wickerwork. Every evidence that has come to the hands of the explorers points to a period of great antiquity. With the exception of two relics, England, Ireland and Wales had not yielded any discovery that threw light on the period mentioned above, but a few sites had become known in the Hebrides and on the West Coast of Scotland.
