DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PLATES STONE IMPLEMENTS. [A. XXXII.] 133 



A. PLATE XXXII. 



In the flint Implements here figured we have an assortment of markedly different 

 types from four or five Stations ; but, excepting figs. 6 and 10, they are such as 

 have been already figured. The former is a delicate flake, one edge of which has 

 been worn down with scraping wood or bone ; and numbers of these little side- 

 scrapers occur at the Laugeries and at La Madelaine. The latter is a short strong 

 knife, with narrow haft. Figure 7 may be noticed as representing an extreme stage 

 of the laborious chipping of the Laugerie Haute Station. 



Fig. 1. A short oblong Scraper or "Thumb-flint," mottled grey; rounded at one 

 end, and obliquely truncate at the other. Compare A. Plate X. figs. 5 and 6, 

 A. Plate XX. fig. 6, A. Plate XXIV., &c. 

 From the Gorge d'Enfer. 



Fig. 2. Piece of an arched flake of dark spicular flint ; pointed at the ends (more 

 perfectly at one end than the other) by bold lateral fractures. No marks of 

 wear. See also fig. 5, A. Plate VIII., described at page 28.

Fig. 3. A somewhat pentagonal, irregular-shaped Scraper ; of the same mottled 

 grey flint as that of fig. 1. This specimen much resembles that seen in fig. 8, 

 A. Plate VII., page 24. 

 From the Gorge d'Enfer. 



Fig. 4. A narrow-lanceolate Weapon-head of brownish flint, weathered grey ; made 

 out of a simple flake by careful chipping at the point, along the convex edge, 

 and at the butt. 



From the Gorge d'Enfer. 



Fig. 5. A fragment of a well-wrought, thin, lanceolate implement of opaque, yel- 

 lowish-white, granular flint, weathered or burnt (?). The large notches on the 

 edges are of recent origin. For other specimens of this type of workmanship 

 see A. Plates IV. and VI. 

 From Laugerie Haute. 



Fig. 6. A small narrow flake, light-brown and translucent, which has been used 

 on one side as a Scraper. These small side-scrapers, very common at the 

 Laugeries and La Madelaine, were probably set lengthwise and edgewise in a
