DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PLATES STONE IMPLEMENTS. 25 



Fig. 10. Narrow, thick, curved Scraper, of dark-grey coarse-grained flint, full of 

 small fragments of fossils ; glazed. Under a lens the semicircular solid edge of 

 this Implement is seen to have been somewhat blunted by use. The lateral 

 edges are those of the original flake. 

 La Madelaine. 



Fig. 11. Straight, with parallel sides, which have been jagged or chipped. The 

 flint is brownish and speckly grey (minute brown and dark- grey spots in a 

 whitish mass), granular with Foraminifers (Textularia, &c.) and Polyzoan and 

 other fragments (as in fig. 9 and other specimens). The tang has been skilfully 

 made by breaking off equal portions of the flake from either side ; but its apex 

 has been blunted by recent fracture. The scraping-edge at the end has been 

 smoothed by much use. 

 Les Eyzies. 



Fig. 12. Somewhat oblique, with elliptical scraping-edge ; made from a slightly 

 curved flake of chestnut-"brown or dark honey-coloured flint*, finely granular 

 and faintly banded. Somewhat glazed, except where the fracture is naturally 

 more dull than elsewhere. The rounded end has its edge minutely splintered 

 by use. 



Laugerie Basse. 



Fig. 13. Spoon-shaped, much arched by the curving of the original flake, from 

 which it has been formed by chipping all round. The scraping-end has been 

 used like that of fig. 12 and others. Brownish-grey flint; full of Sponge- 

 spicules ; glazed, and retaining some patches of the brown stalagmitic Hearth- 

 stuff. 

 Les Eyzies. 



* like that found at Pressigny le Grand (Indre et Loire).
