OF NEW SOUTH WALES. 29 



Some twenty other specimens were exhibited from various isles 

 in the South Seas, the exact localities of which have not yet been 

 determined. 



One specimen from Ambrym Isle, New Hebrides Group, similar 

 in shape to those from Florida Isles, but shorter and broader at 

 the cutting edge, made from the shell of the tridochna. 



One remarkable specimen was also exhibited by Mr. Markey, 

 it was a stone about a foot in length, almost round, with a cutting 

 edge at either end, and to the centre was fastened a handle of 

 strong true cane ; its locality is said to be New Zealand, but from 

 the nature of the cane handle appears to be doubtful. 



Three fine specimens of what are known as gubba gubbas — 

 these consist of circular discs of stone about 7 inches in diameter 

 and about 2| inches from side to side, through which a round 

 hole is bored, and into this hole a wooden handle about three feet 

 long is fixed ; the circumference of the stone is ground to a sharp 

 edge all round. 



Two fine spears about ten feet long, to the end of which has 

 attached a piece of sharp pointed flint of about ten inches long.
