DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PLATES STONE IMPLEMENTS. [A. XXXVI.] 153 



A. PLATE XXXVI. 



A series of flint flakes from the Gorge d'Enfer, four of which have been more 

 or less dressed into symmetrical Implements for chiselling (figs. 1 and 3), or for 

 Scraping (figs. 1, 3, and 4), or as a Spear-head (fig. 2). The others are simple 

 flakes, one of which (fig. 5) has decidedly been used as an Implement ready to the 

 hand of the Savage. 



Pig. 1. A narrow, somewhat sigmoid, and arched Implement made from a flake 

 of grey flint, by carefully tapering the ends and dressing the sides. One end 

 (uppermost in the drawing), bluntly chisel-shaped, may have been used as a 

 Chisel, and the side-edges for scraping. 

 Prom the Gorge d'Enfer. 



Pig. 2. A broad, drab-mottled flake, truncate at one end, and once tapering in a 

 lanceolate form at the other (upwards in the figure), but broken now. The 

 side-edges, as well as the once pointed end, have been dressed into symmetry. 

 Some stalagmitic adhesions remain on the flat face. 

 Prom the Gorge d'Enfer. 



Pig. 3. A straight, mottled-grey flake, slightly but neatly dressed at the bulb-end 

 (uppermost in the figure) ; and once, it seems, shaped into a chisel-like point * 

 at the other ; but a longitudinal fracture has taken off half of the point and 

 some of the corresponding edge. 

 Prom the Gorge d'Enfer. 



Pig. 4. A slightly arched flake, opaque and drab, neatly dressed into symmetry, 

 with one narrow and one broadly rounded end ; the latter damaged. 

 Prom the Gorge d'Enfer. 



Pig. 5. A simple flake of grey- and drab-banded flint, untouched on the straight 

 edge, except at the tip ; but worn by use on the upper half of the naturally 

 jagged edge. 



Prom the Gorge d'Enfer. 



* No I- well drawn in the figure.
