DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PLATES BONE IMPLEMENTS, ETC. [B. XXVII.] 167 



B. PLATE XXVII. 



A selection of barbed and grooved Harpoon- or Arrow-heads, cut out of Rein- 

 deer-horn. See pages 9 and 10. Eigures 2, 5, and, perhaps, 6 are of the short- 

 pointed type ; figs. 1, 3, and 4 have been repointed, perhaps more than once ; fig. 7 

 is long-pointed. 



Fig. 1. This has only four barbs (broken), boldly cut, alternate, and deeply grooved. 

 The stem has two parallel deep grooves on each face. Point broken. 

 From La Madelaine. 



Fig. 2. Neatly subcylindrical, with six barbs, opposite and adpressed ; short grooves 

 obliquely cross the roots of the barbs. The point and some of the barbs are im- 

 perfect. 



From La Madelaine. 



Fig. 3. Large, with five pairs of grooved barbs, and the remains of another pair, 

 reduced in repointing the weapon. Point and one barb broken. 

 From La Madelaine. 



Fig. 4. Five broad, recurved, grooved, alternate barbs remain on this repointed 

 Harpoon. The grooves on the stem are oblique, from the axil of one barb 

 downwards and inwards to the root of the one below, sometimes touching the 

 inner end of its groove. Other oblique opposite grooves or ornamental notches 

 are cut chevron-wise lower down on the stem. 

 From La Madelaine. 



Fig. 5. Upper portion of a slender cylindrical Harpoon- or Arrow-head, with six 

 alternate, rather short, grooved barbs, and with short oblique grooves crossing 

 some of their roots. 

 From La Madelaine. 



Fig. 6. A pointless barbed fragment, with five pairs of carefully cut, close-set, 

 recurved, grooved barbs. 

 From La Madelaine. 



Fig. 7. A long terete point, with four alternate, broad, grooved barbs, and the 

 root of another. The barbs bear two grooves on a face.
