MINUTE STONE IMPLEMENTS PROM INDIA. 457 



down and smoothed by pieces of red hematite which had been brought 

 from the laterite deposits.'' There were also grinding stones with which 

 this hematite might have been ground into a paste, such as would serve 

 to decorate the walls. These implements have been found by other 

 travelers — other archaeologists, one might say. Mr. Rivett Oarnac has 

 found them in the Panda district and described them in a paper en- 

 titled " Stone Implements from the Northwest Provinces of India," 

 Calcutta, 1883. Sir John Evans has also desciibed the discoveries of 

 worked flints near Jubbalpur^ in central India, in Proceedings of the 

 Society of Antiquaries, second series, Vol. in. Prof.Haynes, of Boston, 

 found some in Egypt; Bellucci found them in Tunis; the French army 

 of occupation found them all along the northern coast. Adrian de 

 Mortillet describes them in LPHomme, Vols, i and n, as from central and 

 southern France. While those from France are similar to these now 

 under discussion from India, yet it is to be suggested that they are 

 not in sufficient number to be more than sporadic (Plate cm). Mr. 

 Merejkowski found some of these in the Crimea near Kizilkoda, and 

 has described them in his Premier recherche sur Vage de la pierre en 

 Eussie (St. Petersbourg, 1880). Whether these are of types sufficiently 

 pronounced and are found in sufficient numbers to have relation to the 

 implements from India, I am unable to say.
