DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PLATES STONE IMPLEMENTS. 75 



A. PLATE XVI. 



Of these Implements of Flint, weathered and glazed, some (figs. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 

 7, 10) are of the same type as the majority of those in the preceding Plate, 

 that is, flakes dressed to symmetry at one or both ends. Figs. 1, 9, 11, and 12 

 resemble some drawn in A. Plate VIII. (see p. 27), which have one end pointed 

 as a "tang," for fixing in a handle, and the other end somewhat shaped by 

 chipping. All, except figs. 8 and 13, which appear to be rough unused flakes, 

 bear marks of use. 



Fig. 1. A neat, narrow, stout, " tanged " flake of brownish-grey translucent flint ; 

 pointed at one end by lateral fractures perpendicular to the flake's face, and 

 chipped round at the other. The edges are worn, the straighter edge 

 throughout and the other partially ; and the rounded end has its edge 

 somewhat smoothed.

Fig. 2. A simple thin flake, slightly curved, of yellowish-grey translucent flint. 

 Both edges partly worn.

Fig. 3. A simple knife-like flake of dark olive-brown subtranslucent flint ; showing

 and jagged by wear. The triangular notch is an accidental fracture.

Fig. 4. A simple, narrow, tapering, and slightly arched flake of mottled light- 

 brown flint. Edges very little roughened.

Fig. 5. A neat, arched, narrow flake of dark-brown subtranslucent flint ; the 

 bulb-end trimmed to symmetry. Edges worn, especially towards the sharp 

 oblique end (upwards in the figure).

Fig. 6. A thick irregular-shaped flake of dark honey-coloured translucent flint. 

 The bulb-end is thinnest and broadest, and has been rounded, having been
