Extract

It may be agreeable to this society to receive some account of one of the most extensive, if not the most interesting, discoveries of stone implements which has of late years taken place within the United Kingdom. Indeed, so far as the number of objects found is concerned, the discoveries on the shores of Lough Neagh may almost be ranked with those of the prolific caves of the Dordogne, or those of the Pfahlbauten of the Swiss Lakes.
