Vol. V, No. 8.] Stone Implements from Téngyiieh District. 305 
[N.S.] 
the top, which although somewhat broken is seen to have been 
formed by a flat area meeting the side faces in sharp angles. 
The side faces are smooth with their edges well rounded off. 
The cutting-edge is chipped and worn 
igures 9 and 10 represent another type of small rounded 
axe-like implements with strongly curved cutting-edges. 
igure 9 is a broad, flattened type in a mottled greenish- 
blue jadeite. Its most striking feature is the fine cutting edge, 
fully half of the sides of thestone being ground away to form it. 
Above this line both faces are convex. The side faces are very 
narrow, blunt, and continuous with both the cutting-edge and 
the other end of the implement, into both of which they have 
been rounded off. 
igure 10 illustrates an implement of the same general 
type cut from a blue jadeite. It differs from the preceding one 
by reason of its broader side faces and more unfinished blunt 
end. One of the side faces bears an old fracture and the 
greyish-blue jadeite. The side faces are convergent and meet 
the acute cutting-edge in sharp angular points. The blunt end 
is abruptly truncated. Both front and back faces are bevelled 
off at a greater anvle than usual in order to produce the long 
wedge shaped cutting-edge 
igure 12 represents the smallest implement in this col- 
lection. It has been formed from a thin water-worn pebble of 
a dark grey jadeite with white markings. The pebble has 
evidently been broken across the middle, and the cutting-edge 
produced by rubbing down the two faces at an acute angle to 
the fractured end. The angles in which the edge meets the sides 
have not been rounded off.
