HOLMES] DISTRIBUTION BY GENESIS AND FUNCTION 145 



and use. Each form or class of imi>lemeiit will thus be Ibiuid to have 

 left in its wake a trail of "wasters"' or rejects peculiar to itself. Until 

 these are understood, selected, and set apart, there is necessarily much 

 confusion. 



It is seen by a study of plate ci, in conjixnction with the representa- 

 tions of actual specimens in preceding plates, that a half or more of the 

 range of native flaked forms are actually not imi)lements. Tlie sepa- 

 ration is approximately indicated by the upper brackets marked "not 

 implements" and "implements." It will be observed that this division 

 separates the cache forms or blanks of the middle column into two 

 parts. Portions of this class of objects were mere quarry shapes, 

 distributed to be elaborated when needed, but some of them were 

 probably utilized in their blank shape as knives, etc, and some show a 

 slight degree of specialization (as in number 9 of the first series), and 

 thus properly take their place with implements. Nearly all of the 

 specimens shown in this column are actual cache finds, some being 

 depicted on reduced scale in order to get the entire series within the 

 litiiits of a plate. 



The distribution of cut, battered, ground, and iwlished stone imple- 

 ments, and of the refuse of their manufacture, is governed by laws 

 similar to those governing the distribution of flaked stone.
