DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PLATES STONE IMPLEMENTS. 83 



At Les Eyzies (p. 20, and ' Revue Arche'ologique,' 1864, pp. 241 &c.), where 

 there are many yellow specimens, but where the dark-coloured and grey pre- 

 dominate, we find many thick and broad flakes, but none of those with worked 

 edges are so broad as some from the Gorge d'Enfer. There is from Les Eyzies at 

 least one broad flat yellow flake, but its worked end is chisel-shaped and not Scraper- 

 edged. The associated implements, both large and small, from this Cave are charac- 

 teristically different from those of the Gorge d'Enfer and of Cro-Magnon. 



Simple long flakes, more or less trimmed, as well as common Scrapers, abound 

 at La Madelaine (p. 5), where dark-coloured specimens prevail, together with 

 small flakes and special shapes not found at the Gorge d'Enfer. 



The Implements from Le Moustier (pp. 3 and 20, and ' Revue Archeologique,' 

 186i, p. 238), although comprising common Scrapers and chipped flakes, differ 

 very markedly from those now under consideration. 



Lastly, we recognize a kind of artistic taste in these neatly shaped Implements 

 from the Gorge d'Enfer and Cro-Magnon ; and we may remark that this is for 

 the most part wanting in' the Flint Tools and "Weapons of other Stations, such as 

 Les Eyzies and La Madelaine, where Art shows itself more advanced in another 

 point of view, namely in carvings and in outlined figures. 



A. PLATE XIX. 



Eight neatly trimmed Flint Instruments and a fragment of another are here 

 shown. Their uses are undetermined. Two at least are broad enough to have 

 served as Spoon-like Implements, besides being Scrapers probably for dressing 

 skins ; perhaps they were useful both in scraping meat off bones and in ladling 

 it up. Specimens like these have been found also at the Gorge d'Enfer. Eig. 1 

 may have been a lance-head and is a rare type, both at Cro-Magnon and all the 

 other Stations. 



Fig. 1. A lanceolate, thick, sharp-pointed, slightly arched, and nearly symmetrical 

 Implement, triangular in section. It has been formed, by rough chipping, out 

 of a narrow, high-ridged, curved, cream-coloured flake, opake and flecked with 

 grey, yellow, and red (possibly by having been partially burnt). 



Fig. 2. A long, subovate Double Scraper, with trimmed sides (one of them rather 

 less convex than the other), elliptical at the large end, nearly semicircular at 

 the other. This has been chipped out of a large simple flake of subtranslucent
