In a brief note, appended to an account of ‘A Burial of the Early Bronze Age discovered at Berden’, Essex, by Messrs. Guy Maynard and G. M. Benton, Mr. A. G. Wright, Curator of the Colchester Museum, raises the question whether the globular-bodied beakers of Lord Abercromby's type A originated in South Britain, and suggests the possibility of approximately contemporaneous landings of the people who introduced the beakers at more than one point on the coasts of Britain. This suggestion is contested by Lord Abercromby himself in a short reply following Mr. Wright's note.
