men use sometimes a bone and sometimes a quill for the points of their Arrows.

Page 99, B. Plate XIII. fig. 14. A Scraper or Scratcher made of two Beaver's 

 teeth, from Alaska, and some Esquimaux Scrapers made of Birds' Claws, in 

 the Christy Collection, remind us that this claw-like implement may have formed 

 part of such a scraping, tearing, or carding implement as those alluded to. 



A similar hooked, claw-like point, but perforated, is figured in Lee's Keller's 

 ' Lake- dwellings,' pi. 5. fig. 16, p. 34. Beavers' incisors are used by North- Ame- 

 rican Indians for scraping the flesh from hides in the process of tanning; 'Canad. 

 Journ. Indust. Sc. Art.' n. s. vol. v. p. 417, 1860. See also Lee's Keller's ' Lake- 

 dwellings,' pi. 28. figs. 8, 16, 17 (the " comb " and two curved pointed " needles "). 



Page 102, B. Plate XV. & XVI. With regard to the ornamental clubs, 

 " Batons," " Commandosta.be," or " Pogamagans," here treated of, further obser- 

 vations will be found at pp. 300 and 1 80. 



A piece of forked antler, perforated at the middle of the cross, at the junction 

 of beam and brow, is figured and described by M. Lartet in the 'Annales des 

 Sciences Naturelles,' ser. 4, vol. xv. p. 250, pi. 10. fig. 5 ; but M. Lartet satisfied 

 himself that the specimen (from Aurignac) is quite different in the character of 

 its perforation from those mentioned in the text. 



Page 1 02, line 20. One fragment of a barbed Harpoon marked as having come 

 from the Gorge d'Enfer is in the Christy Collection ; but M. Lartet regarded it 

 as having been wrongly labelled. 



Page 103, B. Plate XV. & XVI. fig. 1. This is regarded as an ornamental Tally- 

 stick, with a Score marked on its edge, at page 189. 



Pages 122, 123, 126, B. Plate XVII. figs. 5, 22, & 25, and B. Plate XVIII. fig. 6. 

 Though differing much in size, yet these may be fragments of such bows as are 

 used in working drills, making fire, and other purposes by the Esquimaux. 



Page 124, B. Plate XVIII. fig. 1. The ornament on the flat face (not figured) 

 here referred to is like that on fig. 73, ' Materiaux,' 1873, p. 396, a similar speci- 

 men from Laugerie Basse. 



Page 134, fig. 24. In Nilsson's ' Stone Age' (Lubbock's Edition) a stone knife 

 of very similar shape is represented, pi. 5. figs. 84, 85. See also Evans's ' Stone 

 Implements,' p. 264. 



Page 1 37, A. Plate XXXIII. fig. 4. The Implements of semicircular shape are 

 figured also in Lee's Keller's ' Lake-dwellings,' pi. 28. fig. 32, p. 99 ; and Lubbock's 

 Nilsson's ' Stone Age,' pi. 5, figs. 86-91, pp. 86-91. See also Evans's ' Stone Im- 

 plements,' p. 267.
