82. Modern New Zealand adze, actual size. Upper surface. 



In the British Museum.

The New Zealand adze is partially polished ; this is not the case with 

 the Danish adze, because flint naturally breaks with a smooth 

 surface. The projection a, in fig. 81 is accidental and owing to 

 some flaw in the flint. They generally have the under side as 

 flat as in fig. 83.

87. Flint dagger, one -half of the actual size. This beautiful specimen was found
