XVI. ANTHROPOLOGY AND ETHNOLOGY. 145 



European Prehistoric Stone and Flint Implements are in Case 

 No. 25. 



Some Miscellaneous specimens are in Case No. 37, such as Old 

 Scottish Sword, German Needle-gun Bullets, French Chassepot 

 and Mittrailleuse Bullets, Old English Spurs, Knives, Spoons, 

 Keys, and Horseshoes, Roman Bronze Sword, Flint Lock of Old 

 English Gun, Bolt and Nut from the old Top Rail of the 

 Eddystone Lighthouse 1750. 



From the Hawaiian Islands a fine piece of Tappa Cloth is 

 exhibited in Case No. 34, and in the same Case is some 

 Human Hair from one of the South Sea Islands, and specimens 

 of Native Cloth obtained by Captain Cook in 1770 at the Sandwich 

 Islands, and at Tahiti and Tonga. 



A Collection of Flints and Tools representing the manufacture 

 of Gun Flints is in Case No. 38. This is a nearly extinct 

 industry, but is interesting as being the nearest approach, in 

 modern times, to what must have been formerly a common 

 occupation. 



A COLLECTION OF STONE IMPLEMENTS is in the 



gallery in Table Cases. Although already noticed under their 

 respective localities it may be interesting to many visitors to 

 inspect these again collectively. 



The Australian Aboriginal Implements are in Cases Nos. 23 

 and 24. These are of a very simple character. Some valuable 

 and handsome examples of Stone work by the Maoris of New 

 Zealand are in Cases Nos. 26 to 29. In Case No. 30 are 

 specimens from the Islands of the Pacific. Including Stone 

 Axe Heads from the Solomon Islands and New Britain, and a 

 stalactite Pestle from the Marshall Islands. In Case No. 23 will be 

 observed a little pile of Flint Flakes, which have been chij^ped 

 off during the process of manufacture of some of the Implements, 

 and in connection with this another glance at the collection 

 illustrating the Gun Flint Industry, in Case No. 38, will be 

 instructive. 



After having inspected the Ethnological Collections in the 

 Museum, it may be of interest to spend a few minutes over the
