    Journal No. 39 April 1953 FOREWORD Your Committee arc seriously perturbed about the condition of some of the club tackle. In the last issue of the Journal mention was made of certain damage to a rope -ladder and it has now been found that another is in an even worse state. Both of these ladders were fairly new and the damage is definitely not "fair wear and tear". It has therefore been decided that there must be more control over the tackle, and in the future it will only be available by booking and obtaining a key from the Gear Curator, Peter Harvey, or failing this from the Hon. Sec. David Willis reports that his recent club trip to Swildons did not attract a single member and although he is quite willing to continue to run club trips, suggests that it would be a great help if members who are interested in visiting any particular cave would get in touch with the Hon. Sec. so that trips on suitable dates can be arranged. We would like to congratulate Willie Station, Howard Kenney, Do nald Thomson, Phil Davies and Oliver Lloyd on the recent discovery of about 700 ft of new passages in Swildons. It should be mentioned that at the moment it is not possible for members of "comfortable girth" to get into the series (as a 'yard stick' we may mention that David Willis found he could only just get through), but it is gathered that modifications will be made in the future to enable the more 'normal types' to pass the tight spot, and we hope that it will then be possible to arrange a club trip to the discovery.

CLUB NEWS It has long been a policy of the Club to further the academic side of caving as well as the sporting. This, together with the size of the Wessex, makes us stronger to resist the threat which now hangs over our sport. Cavers are being told that they may pollute water supplies. However, we have a body of published and verbal expertise in our midst, encompassing limestone hydrology, water chemistry, Medicine and The Law. With a moderate and sensible attitude - advocated by Jim Hanwell’s article in this Journal - we can answer false accusations with refutation and sensible restrictions with responsible obedience.

DOWN UNDER ALL OVER SRGWA Things have been quiet in Western Australia although the Group has still been continuing with their usual trip-a-month programme. During November/December Robert and Norman Poulter spent a month visiting Thailand. While there they managed to visit several caves in the north and south of the country and captured numerous biological specimens both on the surface and underground. All specimens have been lodged with the Australian Museum and copies of the collection list sent to one of the universities in Thailand with which Norm was liaising. The Group is currently planning an expedition to the Kununurra region of WA where caves have been rep~rted that do not appear in the Australian Karst Index.

    Palaeolithic and Pleistocene Sites of the Mendip, Bath and Bristol Areas

    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelacol. Soc, 19SlJ, 18(3), 367-389 PALAEOLITHIC AND PLEISTOCENE SITES OF THE MENDIP, BATH AND BRISTOL AREAS RECENT BIBLIOGRAPHY by R. W. MANSFIELD and D. T. DONOVAN Lists of references lo works on the Palaeolithic and Pleistocene of the area were published in these Proceedings in 1954 (vol. 7, no. 1) and 1964 (vol. 10, no. 2). In 1977 (vol. 14, no. 3) these were reprinted, being then out of print, by Hawkins and Tratman who added a list ai' about sixty papers which had come out between 1964 and 1977. The present contribution is an attempt to bring the earlier lists up to date. The 1954 list was intended to include all work before that date, but was very incomplete, as evidenced by the number of older works cited in the later lists, including the present one. In particular, newspaper reports had not been previously included, but are useful for sites such as the Milton Hill (near Wells) bone Fissure, as are a number of references in serials such as the annual reports of the British Association and of the Wells Natural History and Archaeological Society, which are also now noted for the first time. The largest number of new references has been generated by Gough's Cave, Cheddar, which has produced important new material as well as new studies of finds from the older excavations. The original lists covered an area from what is now the northern limit of the County of Avon lo the southern slopes of the Mendips. Hawkins and Tratman extended that area to include the Quaternary Burtle Beds which lie in the Somerset Levels to the south of the Mendips, and these are also included in the present list.
