been chipped towards the point ; but this has been broken off, and is restored 

 on the Plate. 



Fig. 3. Dark olive-grey flint, somewhat glazed ; spearhead-shaped, but broken at 

 the top. Carefully chipped on both faces, and indented by a bold angular 

 notch at each side of the broad end. 



Fig. 4. A flake of whitish flint, slightly glazed ; shortened by fracture. By 

 careful chipping on one face and at the edges it has got a long lanceolate 

 form, with one-third narrowed by wear on one edge. Marks of use are 

 also traceable along the other edge of the narrow part of the specimen, and 

 on both edges of the broad end. 



Fig. 5. A thin flake of flint, chipped into a lanceolate shape, and narrowed for 

 nearly half its length by one edge having been crushed and splintered away by 

 use. An almost saw-like jaggedness (not well shown in the drawing), referable to 

 wear, marks the other edge of the narrow portion. The flint, originally light- 

 brown and translucent, has been subsequently mottled by a white opacity, 

 especially on the flat side and all along the edges. 



Fig. 6. Dark-grey narrow flake of flint, somewhat glazed ; sharpened at one end, 

 by careful chipping on the ridge and its slopes, into an arrowhead-shape (point 

 broken off) ; one edge also has been minutely chipped to produce the symmetrical 

 outline ; the other end (shortened by fracture) has been narrowed by breakage 

 of the edges, probably from use, chiefly on one side. [The Figure does not well 

 show the delicate chipping of the rounded back of the tapering point.] 



Fig. 7. Small flake of grey flint, glazed ; pointed by chipping on the ridge-face 

 and edges, like fig. 6, but with less parallel sides. The broken end shows a 

 notch (not well defined in the figure), either coarsely chipped for a but, or 

 worn out by use, the sharp end having been, in that case, fixed in a handle. 



Fig. 8. Light-grey coarse-grained flint; lanceolate; rather roughly chipped on 

 both faces ; the ends taper almost symmetrically, but one more rapidly than 

 the other ; and each has a blunt point. The edges seem throughout to have 

 been fashioned by the general chipping of the instrument ; but at the narrow 

 end the chipping may have been subsequent to, or even produced by, wear, 

 better evidence of which is traceable in the notches where the narrowed 

 portion begins.
