hollows in successive widened portions of the "bar," perhaps representing 

 holes in it, and three such cavities at its lower part. This ornament is 

 repeated on the opposite side, with a difference in the number of the pits. 

 From La Madelaine. 



Fig. 7. A smooth, tapering, pointed Dart-head, of Reindeer Horn, in good 

 preservation, but probably not quite finished. The point has been perfectly 

 rounded ; the lower half is flattened ; but the thick end is partly cut, without 

 having been completely bevelled on its two sides. 

 From La Madelaine. 



B. PLATE X. 



Fig. 1. A broken Dart-head, the point wanting. The bevelled slopes are not 

 transversely scored, but have some longitudinal stripes. On the two sides are 

 repeated figures of two- Horses, galloping. The head is too stiff, and is badly 

 proportioned; but the eye, the ear, and the mane are better expressed, and 

 the general attitude has reference to the gallop of the Horse. 

 From La Madelaine. 



Fig. 2. Another incomplete Dart-head, with carving on one side only. On the 

 left we see the figure of a Horse, very badly designed, and damaged by decay 

 of the Reindeer Horn. Above it, or to the right, is another figure, damaged 

 also by decay, indistinct, but presenting a forked tail. 

 From La Madelaine. 



Fig. 3. Another truncated carved Dart-head. Its incised ornamental figures, of 

 an oblong form, traversed by six short transverse grooves, are too indefinite 

 for characterization. 

 From La Madelaine. 



Fig. 4. A small, rounded, tapering Dart-head, simple and without ornament. It 

 is rather compressed ; and its point is nearly triangular. Its bevelled end is 

 marked on each face with several transverse grooved lines. 

 From La Madelaine. 



Fig. 5. A broken Dart-head, carved with a series of at least three Horses, possibly 

 on the gallop, on each of its two sides. The figures are very badly expressed. 

 From La Madelaine.
