o6 RELIQUIAE AQUITANICLE. 



Fig. 4. Another tapering and pointed Implement, but shorter and sharper ; also 

 made of a compact portion of a bone of a Herbivore. 



Fig. 5. A cylindrical piece of Reindeer Antler, similar to fig. 1, except that it is 

 broken at each end : this also was found in the uppermost deposit of the Cave, 

 with the Skeletons. 



Fig. 6. An Awl-like Implement, made of a bone of a Herbivore, with a large and 

 broad but-end, convenient for holding in the hand when used. 



Fig. 7. Another kind of Awl or Bodkin, with a flat one-sided but-end. 



Fig. 8. A straight and slender Bodkin, Awl, or Arrow-point, with a broad and 

 rough but. 



It is probable that most of the Bodkin-like Implements were used for 

 fastening garments none of the Stations of this Age having yet yielded eyed 

 needles, such as those found in the more recent Stations of La Madelaine, 

 Laugerie Basse, Bruniquel (Tarne et Garonne), and Massat (Ariege). 



Fig. 9. Another Awl or Bodkin, tapering and rounded, but thicker than the fore- 

 going, and pierced near the but, where it is somewhat flattened, with a hole for 

 suspension. This hole opens out on each side and narrows in the middle, 

 showing that the boring must have been made alternately on one side and the 

 other. The material is white and compact, but so altered in structure that we 

 cannot say if it be ivory or deer's horn ; it is not bone, properly so called. 



Fig. 10. A fragment of a thin, narrow, straight-edged plate of Reindeer Horn, 

 showing on one side the cellular structure of the middle portion of the antler, 

 and numerous notches along the edges. We have a similar specimen from the 

 Gorge d'Enfer ; and in the ' Annales des Sciences Naturelles,' vol. xv. (above 

 cited), pages 189 and 251, pi. 11. fig. 7, another is figured, from Aurignac; this 

 latter has transverse lines engraved on its convex and smooth face, besides 

 notches on the margins. These have been regarded as hunter's marks; but 

 no satisfactory explanation of the intention with which they were made has 

 been arrived at. 



Fig. 11. Another piece of Reindeer Horn, long, flat, and narrow, polished on one 

 side. It is comparable with the Aurignac specimen, fig. 6 of plate 11, in the 

 ' Ann. Sc. Nat.,' vol. xv., above cited. Other fragments of similar implements 

 have been found at the Gorge d'Enfer, and are such as are regarded by the 

 Danish Archaeologists as having been used in dressing skins for clothing.
