DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PLATES STONE IMPLEMENTS. [A. XXXII.] 135 



In the Christy Collection is an analogous implement made out of a thick flake 

 of lydite by the Australian aborigines, and furnished with a handle of Kangaroo 

 fur, lashed on the narrow butt with native string. 



The Australian implement here referred to has been described and figured by 

 Mr. John Evans, F.K.S., in his 'Ancient Stone Implements, Weapons, and 

 Ornaments of Great Britain ' (8vo, 1872), p. 264, fig. 198 ; and to him we are 

 indebted for the use of the wood block (fig. 24) in this place. 



* These are fragments. t This has lost perhaps half an inch of its rounded end.
