 FIG. 9. 

 Cc LAMELLIFORM ARCH^OLITHE (TKIMMEU 

 FLAKE), SHOWING A MORE ELABORATELY- 

 WORKED INDICAL FACE, AND EXTENSIVE 

 TRACES OF USE. Bellerive. Found by Mr. E. 



Anthony. 



Though the shape of the lamellifonn implements 

 varies considerably, those of roughly quadrilateral outline 

 aj-e most common, some of which are veiy elaborately 

 trimmed all along the edges. Others are of a more ovai 

 form, which gradually passes into a more circular shape. 

 The size of the flakes varies considerably, fig. 9 measures 

 5 inches in length, but others, which by their bevelled 

 edges and traces of use, prove that they are implements, 

 and not spalls falling off during the manufacture of others, 

 measure only H x 1 inch, and I believe there are specimens 

 even below this size, which is covered by an ordinary sized 

 thumb- A remarkable group is trimmed in such a way 

 that one side presents a more or less semi-circular, or 

 crescent-shaped, bevelled edge. An extremely good speci- 

 men of this kind is represented by fig. 10. 



FIG. 10. 

 Cd. LA^IELLIFORM ARCH^OLITHE (TRIMMED 

 FLAKE), SHOWING A SEMI-CIRCULAR 

 BEVELLED EDGE ON LEFT SIDE. Maryvale 



(Tree Tree). 



Another remarkable specimen is shown by the next 

 figure. This specimen has a beautifully trimmed, bevelled 

 edge on the left hand side, but instead of being continu- 

 ously convex, the lower part is deeply concave. It is ob- 

 vious that though the upper part could be used as a knife, 

 the lower part was used as a hollow scraper. It is cer- 

 tainly remarkable that although the upper part shows 

 some unusually neat and regular chipping, this is absent 

 in the lower part. It is therefore very probable that the 

 concave lower part is not intentional, but the result of use, 

 during which the low^er, apparently pointed end of tlie im- 

 plement was broken off.
