58 RELICS OF THE STONE AGE IN NOVA SCOTIA PIERS. 



singular, roller-shaped object, presumably of aboriginal work- 

 manship, which I find in the McOulloch collection, is shown in 

 Fig. 79. The ends have evidently been cut off while the stone 

 was rotating. Another curious object (Fig. 78) is in the Fair- 

 banks collection. One face thereof is slightly hollowed, while 

 the other is correspondingly convex. The wider end has been 

 partially cut away so as to leave a short neck. I shall not 

 venture an opinion as to the use of these two relics. An oval 

 boulder (Fig. 77), very regular in shape, is in the same collection. 

 Not the slightest importance, however, can be attached to it, for 

 it is merely a natural form bearing no marks of man's work- 

 manship.
