STRANDL00PER INSTRUMENTS AND ORNAMENTS. 467 



(2) Prognathous "Bushmen" (they probably belong to some 

 historic tribe* Damasonqua or Gonaqua Hottentots), makers of 

 •end-scrapers and of occasional lance and arrowheads of superior 

 type, also of Neolithic implements such as kwes, palettes, stone- 

 axe, makers of characteristic pottery (designated Strandlooper by 

 Dr. Peringuey), workers in bone and ivory, bone beads to a 

 considerable extent supplanting those of ostrich shell, although 

 ornaments cut from shells of molluscs and of ostrich egg were 

 abundant. Date fairly recent. Lived in caves, also on the banks 

 of the Great Fish River, near Cradock, and at various places on 

 the coast. 



It may be noted that this is in agreement with the sequence 

 of cultures in Europe, in so far as the stone implements are con- 

 cerned, the pygmies of the European Tardenoisian being prior to 

 the ground and polished implements of the Neolithic age.
