PLATE XII. Six roughly shaped specimens, in which an irregular cutting-edge has been produced on 

 some part of the margin by thinning it by bold parallel chipping on one or both faces of the 

 stone. From Le Moustier 39 



PLATE XIII. The two specimens here figured are examples of the hollowed pebbles of granite found in 



the Cave at Les Eyzies 59 



PLATE XIV. The blocks of Flint here shown are Nuclei or Cores, from which flakes have been struck. 



Some such Cores have been figured in A. Plate I 63 



PLATE XV. The specimens here figured are flint flakes, which have mostly been dressed to a taper point 

 at one end ; and two have had the broad end carefully rounded (figs. 3 and 8). All bear marks 

 of having been used in scraping or cutting or both 73 



PLATE XVI. Of these Implements of Flint, some (figs. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10) are of the same type as the 

 majority of those in the preceding Plate that is, flakes dressed to symmetry at one or both ends. 

 Figs. 1, 9, 11, and 12 resemble some drawn in A. Plate VIII., which have one end pointed as a 

 " tang " for fixing in a handle, perhaps, and the other end somewhat shaped by chipping. Except 

 figs. 8 and 13, all bear marks of use 75 



PLATE XVII. Four Implements of Flint from the Cave of Le Moustier. Two are remarkable as being 

 of the same type as many found in the old gravel of the Somme, also in England and elsewhere. 

 A more ovate instrument of this kind has been already figured from Le Moustier in A. Plate III. 

 fig. 2. The other two somewhat approach in shape those from Le Moustier already figured in 

 A. Plate V., and, like them, could have been conveniently used when held in the hand 78 



PLATE XVIII. The Implements here figured have been worked out of Flint-flakes, probably as Scrapers 



and Awls or Eimers. They include some rare curved or subfalcate forms 79 



PLATE XIX. Eight neatly trimmed Flint Instruments and a fragment, from Cro-Magnon 83 



PLATE XX. Implements from Cro-Magnon. Fig. 3 may have been the Poignard or personal weapon 

 of the Aboriginal Chief buried in Cro-Magnon Cave. Fig. 5 is a rare chisel-pointed Implement ; 

 the others were probably Scrapers ; two have hooked points . . . ." 85 



PLATE XXI. Five Flint Implements of lanceolate form, from Laugerie 105 



PLATE XXII. Three large flakes of Flint from Laugerie Haute ; fig. 1 is rounded at one end ; fig. 2 is 



unworked ; fig. 3 is pointed 107 



PLATE XXIII. We have here (1) a small Mortar-stone of sandstone, (2) a piece of naturally hollowed 

 sandstone, which may possibly have served as a kind of Mortar, (3) a Kubber of soft stone, and 

 (4) a Mortar-stone of Quartzite 108 



PLATE XXIV. Examples of two sorts of those Implements termed " Scrapers," being dressed portions of 

 flakes, with either more or less oblong or more or less ovate outline, and having either one or both 

 ends neatly dressed to a semicircular or elliptical edge in 



PLATE XXV. This Plate shows three views of one of the large Chopper-like Implements common in the 



Cave at Le Moustier 114. 



PLATE XXVI. Three long, arched, tapering flint flakes, with unworn edges 115 



PLATE XXVII. Six broad rough flakes, of which only two (figs. 1 and 3) have been dressed at the 



edges 117
