edge) is continued backward into the neatly rounded outline of the scraper- 

 like but-end [not well shown in the figure], and forward into the irregular notch, 

 which has an old surface, and, like the curved side edge, seems to have been used. 

 This beaked type of Scraper is found also at the Gorge d'Enfer. Figs. 8 and 9 

 have, in general shape, something in common with figs. 1, 5, 6, and 7 of 

 A. Plate XVIII., described at pages 79 and 80, but differ from them in being 

 Scrapers (that is, neatly rounded) at one end. 



Fig. 10. A coarsely worked, lumpy fragment of a thick flake of dark-honey- 

 coloured, spicular, and subtranslucent flint, retaining a portion of the original 

 crust (opake, granular, and pinkish grey) on the highest part of the narrow 

 convex back of the Implement. It resembles a great Slug, contracted and at 

 rest. See also figs. 18 , b, c, p. 85. One end is narrowed and arched, pre- 

 senting, when held with the flat part upwards, a likeness to the prow of a 

 boat ; the other end is broader and more depressed, but flexuous and irregular 

 in shape. The edge of one side has been roughly chipped into shape; but 

 the other (lowest in the figure) has been further splintered and crushed, 

 apparently by use (see also page 85). 



Another such specimen, and two smaller and rougher, in dark grey flint, from 

 Cro-Magnon, and a very roughly dressed specimen, from the Gorge d'Enfer, are 

 the only analogues to this that we have met with from the Caves.
