granolithic pavements. It is probable that the number of these 
rows in a panel varied from one to four, and some of the inter- 
vening panels may have been quite plain. In one panel where 
the rows are absent plain lines have been incised diagonally and 
across each other. The curvature of one piece indicates an 
inside diameter at the rim of about 8 inches. Another small 
fragment (fig. 8), ornamented with parallel lines crossing each 
other diagonally, has a ridge on the exterior apparently running 
vertically. 
Neither the style of the rim nor the shape of the base can be 
determined from the recovered fragments. 
SoutH Enp. The pieces from this end show the presence 
of similar lines of small, closely-set, squarish indentations as if 
made by the teeth of a comb-like implement, but the system of 
decorating by raised ridges has not been adopted. The lines 
have been set more or less parallel to each other, and diagonally 
to the horizontal lip of the vessel. Fortunately in this group of 
fragments some portions of the rim were recovered. The rim 
was about # inch broad with an inwardly slanting bevel, and was. 
ornamented by the same kind of rows of small indentations. 
The rows on the rim were arranged almost parallel to each other, 
at right angles to the edge, and equidistantly about four rows in 
the space of aninch. ‘The thickness of the sides decreased from 
1 inch at the rim to 4 inch at a point about 2 inches down. 
This and other rim portions betray an affinity in shape and 
ornamentation to the type of rim to be seen in some of the vessels. 
of the Scottish Stone Age. The interior surface of the pieces. 
is unadorned. The curvature shows an inside diameter at the 
rim of about 8 inches. The shape of the lower portion of the 
vessels is not determinable. 
Some of the fragments are too much wasted for useful 
description. 
The sites yielded a profusion of stone implements. Sever 
implements of flint and two dozen implements of other stone, 
fragmentary or whole, were recovered, mostly from Site No. 3. 
Two hundred and thirty-seven nodules, cores, and chippings of 
flint were also found. The number of logs in the substructures. 
examined was 15. 
The most interesting flint implement got is a massive horse- 
shoe shaped tortoise-backed scraper. ‘There were got also some
