PALEOLITHIC IMPLEMENT (QUARTZITE.) 



From near Madras, India. 



Three Chelleen implements from central France, of the usual thick almond form. 

 They are of flint, which, from weathering or exposure to the chalk bed, have 

 become whitened. In the highlands of the interior these are sometimes found 

 on or near the surface. 



Two Chelleen implements from the gravels of the river Garonne, near Toulouse, made 

 from quartzite bowlders. They are rudely chipped, and thick, and the cutting 

 edge is at the point as in other paleolithic implements. They resemble the 

 specimens from Piney Branch, near Washington, D. C.
