Numerous stone implements were obtained, of which three adzes, 
in good preservation, were polished, and fragments of eleven others, 
together with nine pieces of gritty sandstone, used for sharpening 
or polishing. Of the former, one of the specimens was found im- 
mediately above the stones having formed one of the ovens, the 
others being scattered amongst the kitchen middens; and as this 
occurrence is a confirmation of the observations made in the cave, 
there is no doubt that the moa-hunters used both polished and un- 
polished stone implements. A number of small pieces of obsidian 
were also found, of which some were probably used as spear-heads. 
Most of the rude chipped stone implements, like those collected in 
the cave, had been made from the basaltic rock in the neighbour- 
hood ; most of them were simply flakes, without any decided form, 
but amongst them I observed a few manufactured for spear-heads ; 
others had evidently been chipped to be used as knives or scrapers, 
the rest being cores only. Flint implements, so well represented 
at the Rakaia, were also not missing; but with the exception of 
about a dozen, which were either used as spear-heads or knives, 
the rest were flakes or cores. 
Of the remarkable green silicious deposit (Palla) found in the 
Gawler’s Downs, two small flakes were also amongst the specimens 
here collected. Two pieces of moa bones, partly worked, were
