almost to a point at each end, and might have been used 

 as a borer or pick. A somewhat similar example, but 

 not so pointed, is in the Darbishire collection ; it is also 

 from Culbane. 



So far no specimens of oval flint celts have been found 

 at Culbane. Mr. l^ell, however, has a good example from 

 Toome ]5ar, which measures 4A inches long and 2 inches 

 wide, and is roughly chipped on both sides. It bears 

 some resemblance to the " Larne type," figured in the 

 above-mentioned paper (fig. 8, no. 6). 



None of the flint celts examined show any signs of 

 polishing. 



Arrozv-fieads. — Three types of beautifully finished 

 flint arrow-heads have been found in the deposit at Cul- 

 bane ; these are all represented in the Darbishire collec- 

 tion. They comprise (i) the leaf-shaped, (2) the indented, 

 (3) the stemmed, and are all well illustrated in the British 

 Museum "Guide to the Antiquities of the Stone Age, 

 1902," on pi. 9, figs. 2 and 3, pi. 10, figs. 5 and 9, and pi. 3, 

 fig. 5. Some are made of the same peculiar pale-brown 

 flint as that of tlie ordinary flakes, while others are almost 

 transparent. They are all exquisitely fashioned, the 

 chipping running right over them. 



Along with the arrow-heads, etc., in the Darbishire 

 collection, are several flaking implements, " fabricators," 

 and a number of water-worn pebbles of quartzite, etc., 

 with abraded ends, " hammer-stones," all of which have 

 been found in the deposit at Culbane. These clearly 

 indicate industry' in the immediate neighbourhood. 



b. Clay-slate and other impleuients. 



Besides implements manufactured of flint, a large 

 number composed of coarse clay-slate, basalt, sandstone, 

 etc., have also been found in the diatom deposit at Culbane,
