A. STONE IMPLEMENTS. 



A. PLATE XXIX. 



Fig. 1. A piece of quartzose schist, already figured elsewhere* as bearing on it a 

 representation in faint outline of the fore part of a Herbivore, with very 

 doubtful indications of horns ; whilst the eye is simply indicated by a dot, 

 and the legs are rather confusedly drawn. 

 From Les Eyzies. 



Figs. 2 a and 2 b. A small calcareous pebble, flat on one side, and irregularly con- 

 vex on the other ; it is marked with a great many lines radiating in different 

 directions (probably with the sharp edge of a flint), of which we do not try 

 to guess the meaning. 

 From Les Eyzies. 



Fig. 3. A pebble of leptinolite, perceptibly concave on one side, and convex on 

 the other, and bearing on its two faces certain combinations of lines. On the 

 side figured we may, with a little effort, recognize the rudiments of an animal 

 form incompletely defined. 

 From Les Eyzies. 



Fig. 4. A portion of an elongate pebble of limestone, broken across one of its 

 extremities by a recent fracture. It also bears on its two faces numerous 

 transverse, more or less parallel lines, made by a sharp instrument. 

 From La Madelaine. 



Fig. 5. An irregular-shaped slab of mica-schist, on which can be distinguished the 

 remains of the outlines of an animal, whose species is sufficiently indicated by the 

 antlers placed in front of the forehead, which, it is known, particularly charac- 

 terize the Reindeer. This figure, engraved with a sharp point, must have been 

 originally more perfect ; and even since the piece of schist has been broken, 

 one recognizes on the part where the head and neck of the animal were 

 continued, numerous fine scratches, probably produced by repeated friction
