core. The finding of several implements in a cave together 

 with flakes is fairly conclusive evidence that the inhabitants 

 understood the working of stone, but the discovery of a single 

 implement, such as that recorded by Mr. Wray, is not neces- 

 sarily so. Whether the dwellers in the Lenggong caves knew 

 how to polish, or make, stone implements by a rubbing down 

 process must, on the evidence before us, remain a matter for 

 doubt; but, if they did. and we are to regard the specimens 

 that I have described as being roughly blocked out and 

 unfinished implements of neolithic culture, it is difficult to see 

 into what known Peninsular type, or types, they were to be 

 turned. On the other hand the fact that the stone implements 

 were made by former inhabitants of the Lenggong caves 

 increases the probability of Mr. Wray's polished implement 

 having been made by cave-dwellers too. What relation in 

 point of age the Lenggong deposits bear to those of Gunong 

 Cheroh is, however, uncertain. 



With regard to the use of pottery it would seem most 

 probable that the earliest inhabitants of the Lenggong caves 

 did not possess any : but a very little may, perhaps, have been 

 in use while the making of stone implements was still a known 

 art.
