of the flake ; chipped into a broad blade, hollow with the arching of the inner 

 or flake face, boldly curved at the end, chipped on the side edges, and tapering 

 towards the point, at a short distance from which the blade is suddenly 

 narrowed and becomes subtriangular in section. Prom the crushed state of 

 its lateral angles, the pointed end has evidently been used as a Drill. The 

 other end also has been minutely splintered along its edge by use. 

 Laugerie Basse. 



Fig. 5. A short, narrow, thickish, straight Scraper, of light-brown flint, glazed. 

 The longer of the two lateral edges has been minutely chipped, or perhaps 

 blunted by use. The other retains almost perfectly the original sharp edge 

 of the flake. The tang has been produced by bold lateral fractures. The 

 rounded end has been used. 

 Laugerie Basse. 



Fig. 6. Subovate, thick; formed of a flake of chalcedonic flint ; glazed, and rather 

 opake and mottled by weathering on the ridge face. The tang is coarsely 

 shivered. Marks of use on the other end are indistinct. 

 Laugerie Basse. 



Fig. 7. Somewhat similar in form to fig. 6, but narrower and more neatly made. 

 Light-grey translucent flint, opake and white all over by weathering. The 

 scraping-end has been evidently used. 

 Les Eyzies. 



Fig. 8. Rude, almost as broad as long, of nearly uniform thickness, slightly curved 

 underneath. Dark-grey flint, weathered all over. The irregularly semicircular 

 front edge shows evidence of having been roughly used. 

 Les Eyzies. 



Fig. 9. A longish flat Scraper, of mottled grey granular flint (showing the 

 particles of Polyzoa, which composed the limestone now converted into flint); 

 glazed, and retaining some of the brown calcareous hearth-stuff on its inner 

 flake-face. A flat tapering flake has in this instance been trimmed at the two 

 ends, the lateral edges not having been worked, though minutely jagged, 

 possibly from wear. The scraping-end has been used, as shown by its partially 

 crushed edge.
