JADE TOOLS IN SWITZERLAND. 689 



Lubbock, writing, as I am, in haste for an afternoon post. But if 

 the sheep and goat were known at all in the Stone Age — and every 

 collection of Swiss-lake antiquities shows they were — my argument 

 stands. 



Let me say in conclusion that archaeologists in England will be 

 glad to have a notification of the various kinds of animals which 

 were found in such abundance in the Bienne Lake pile-dwelling at 

 Schaffis. In that station — one of the oldest in the Stone Age — 

 both jadeite and nephrite implements were found ; but whether 

 sheep and goat bones were found in company with them I cannot 

 quite positively say. Of course, it has been put on record that the 

 two sets of objects were so found in the Stone-Age pile-dwellings 

 of Mooseedorif, Locras, and Wanwyl.
