NOTE. Keverting to A. PI. IV. (page 7) we may remark that several of the specimens therein figured 

 show marks of having been used for cutting, scraping, or chiselling. Fig. 1. This specimen has such marks 

 on the upper part of the left-hand edge, as figured ; fig. 2 has them on the right-hand towards the top ; 

 figs. 3, 5, 10, and 12 on both edges of the broader (lower) end ; fig. 6 bears marks of wear on the right-hand 

 edge above, and the left-hand below. Fig. 7 is free from such indications of having been used, and is 

 probably the inserted part, preserved in the haft, the used portion having been broken short off. The other 

 specimens (figs. 4, 8, 9) less distinctly agree in some or other of the conditions above mentioned. 



Among the specimens figured in A. PI. II. (page 3) several show marks of use. Fig. 9 has been used as a 

 Knife or Scraper on the straight edge (left-hand of the drawing); fig. 10, on the left-hand edge ; fig. 14, on the 

 lower half of the right-hand edge ; fig. 21, on its convex (left-hand) edge ; and fig. 24 on the left-hand edge. 



Fig. la. 



Fig. 16. 



Fig. 2. 



Figs, la and 16 represent the two faces of an implement of whitish flint, chipped into shape,and used for scraping. 

 The blade-like portion has been set in a handle or held in the hand ; and the other end has been much worn 

 by scraping with the two sides alternately, whereby the narrow end has been tapered. Nat. size. 



Fig. 2 is a neat flake of grey flint, that has been worn away along the middle part of one edge by scraping. 

 The sharp end has probably been set in a handle. Nat. size.
