RELIQULE AQUITANKLE. 



outside is high and rough ; the concave face is smooth and faintly undulating ; 

 the side-edges are sharp, irregular, but nearly parallel, and converge towards a 

 point that has been broken off (upper end in the figures). 

 From La Madelaine (?). 



Fig. 2. A " corner-flake " of light-brown, translucent flint, granular with minute 

 fossils. This is rather less highly arched than fig. 1, and has a slight twist ; 

 the ridge is smoother also, having been partly flaked ; the inner face is more 

 undulating ; the edges are thinner, the flake being broader and the ridge lower, 

 except towards one end (lowest in the figure), which once tapered to a point, 

 probably triangular in section, but lost by an old fracture. 

 From La Madelaine (?). 



Figs. 3 a and 3 b. A long, arched, tapering, simple flake of translucent, brownish- 

 grey flint, with purplish bands, weathered opake and drab-coloured. It is nearly 

 symmetrical, pointed, and perfect. The ridge-face is composed of several flake- 

 facets ; and the inner face (not figured) shows plainly the " bulb of percussion " 

 and numerous segments of the concentric undulations of "conchoidal fracture." 

 This neat and perfect flake is comparable with figure 3 of A. Plate XX., but it 

 is more symmetrical and is gracefully arched. 

 From La Madelaine (?). 



Rough corner-flakes, such as figs. 1 and 2, but mostly smaller and less perfect, 

 are common at both La Madelaine and Les Eyzies, and are not wanting at 

 Laugerie and le Gorge d'Enfer. Mr. J. Evans, F.E.S., has similar flakes, with 

 the chipped ridge, from Denmark.
