  Stone 
  Implements. 
  

   The 
  occurrence 
  of 
  stone 
  implements 
  in 
  both 
  Central 
  and 
  Southern 
  

   India, 
  and 
  Behar, 
  has 
  been 
  known 
  since 
  1861, 
  when 
  Mr. 
  H. 
  P. 
  

   LeMesurier 
  first 
  brought 
  them 
  to 
  notice 
  in 
  a 
  letter 
  to 
  Mr. 
  A. 
  Grote, 
  

   President 
  of 
  the 
  Asiatic 
  Society 
  of 
  Bengal, 
  published 
  in 
  the 
  Proceed- 
  

   ings 
  of 
  the 
  Society 
  for 
  that 
  year 
  ; 
  and 
  in 
  1862, 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  similar 
  

   neolithic 
  implements 
  was 
  figured 
  by 
  myself 
  in 
  the 
  Proceedings 
  for 
  June,

  In 
  October 
  1866, 
  Mr. 
  R. 
  Bruce 
  Foote, 
  of 
  the 
  Geological 
  Survey 
  

   of 
  India, 
  figured 
  and 
  described 
  in 
  the 
  Madras 
  Journal 
  of 
  Literature 
  

   and 
  Science 
  a 
  fine 
  series 
  of 
  chipped 
  or 
  paleolithic 
  implements, 
  from 
  

   the 
  lateritic 
  deposits 
  of 
  Madras, 
  since 
  when 
  additional 
  information 
  has 
  

   from 
  time 
  to 
  time 
  accumulated, 
  culminating 
  in 
  the 
  discovery 
  last 
  year 
  

   by 
  Mr. 
  C. 
  A. 
  Hacket 
  of 
  a 
  fine 
  chipped 
  celt 
  in 
  situ, 
  among 
  the 
  ossiferous 
  

   gravels 
  of 
  the 
  Narbada, 
  wherein 
  occurs 
  the 
  extinct 
  mammalian 
  fauna 
  

   of 
  the 
  valley 
  — 
  Hexaprotodon 
  and 
  its 
  congeners 
  (see 
  Records 
  Geological 
  

   Survey 
  of 
  India, 
  Vol. 
  VI, 
  p. 
  49). 
  One 
  remarkable 
  fact 
  connected 
  

   with 
  these 
  implements 
  is 
  the 
  precise 
  similarity 
  in 
  form 
  and 
  design 
  

   which 
  exists 
  between 
  those 
  found 
  in 
  India 
  and 
  those 
  in 
  Europe, 
  

   though 
  the 
  same 
  variety 
  does 
  not 
  exist 
  in 
  the 
  East, 
  where, 
  from 
  some 
  

   cause 
  or 
  other, 
  the 
  art 
  was 
  not 
  carried 
  to 
  the 
  same 
  perfection 
  as 
  it 
  at 
  one 
  

   period 
  reached 
  in 
  Europe 
  ; 
  but 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  known 
  specimens 
  of 
  Indian 
  

   implements 
  allow 
  us 
  to 
  judge, 
  and 
  apart 
  from 
  the 
  indication 
  afforded 
  by 
  

   the 
  material 
  (flint 
  so 
  commonly 
  used 
  in 
  Europe 
  not 
  occurring 
  in 
  India), 
  

   it 
  would 
  be 
  difficult 
  to 
  say 
  from 
  shape 
  or 
  manufacture 
  whether 
  any 
  par- 
  

   ticular 
  implement 
  of 
  palaeolithic 
  type 
  had 
  been 
  manufactured 
  in 
  Kent 
  or 
  

   Kuddapah, 
  or 
  if 
  a 
  particular 
  neolithic 
  celt 
  of 
  greenstone 
  was 
  from 
  

   the 
  neighbourhood 
  of 
  the 
  Son 
  or 
  the 
  banks 
  of 
  the 
  Shannon. 
  So 
  close 
  is
