Now we have seen what little stratigraphic evidence is available about this industry. From Adilabad, Prof. Haimendorf has collected a large number of scrapers and blades and they are now lying in the London University Institute of Archaeology. I am obliged to Prof. Zeuner for permission to illustrate a few specimens from this collection (Fig. 16, 1, 2, 21). Among the older collections, Foote's antiquities from Patpad *Cache* is unique.¹ In view of the proximity of this site to the fossil bearing Upper Pleistocene caves of Billasurgam in the Kurnool district, the whole area calls forth an urgent investigation. Similarly from the limestone areas of Bijapur and Dharawar, Chapghar has found large number of such specimens from the caves, and our problems can be solved if the stratigraphic horizon of this industry can be confirmed.
