had a fairly good Pollical face and a sharp edge were 

 utilised without further impi^ovement, while it seems fairly- 

 certain that others were intended for further improvement, 

 but that for some reason or other they were rejected with- 

 out being finished, though it appears that in some in- 

 stances even these uncompleted implements were used. A 

 good specimen of an external flake, which was utilised 

 just as it came off from the parent block, is shown in 

 fig. 3

 TRACES OF USE ALONG THE UPPER EDGE. 



Found by Mr- L. Brownell, at Geilston. 



Another specimen, of the more elongated kind, which 

 shows traces of work on the Judical face, is represented 

 in fig. 4.

Tlie specimens here figured shows distinctly that it 

 has been subjected to a good deal of flaking, and the left 

 edge has apparently been used. It is impossible to say 

 whether the flaking of the Indical face is intentional, and 

 the specimen is a half-finished reject, or whether the chips 

 came off when other specimens were previously struck off 

 from the same block. A mis-spent blow at the broader end 

 seems to indicate that it was intended to turn the flake 

 into a more serviceable tool, and that, therefore, the work- 

 ing of the Judical face was due to intention, and not only 

 to utilisation. The most remarkable of this group are a 

 small number in which the flat face shows traces of work- 

 ing, instead of being used as Pollical face. Specimens of 

 this kind are pretty rare. 



C. IRREGULARLY SHAPED ANGULAR IMPLE- 

 MENTS, GENERALLY OF CONSIDERABLE 

 THICKNESS, AND FREQUENTLY OF LARGE 



SIZE. 

 This group comprises a large number of Archaeo- 

 lithic implements, and it can be considered as the next 

 stage between the external flakes and the more highly-
