to the point, it is more or less triangular in section. I show both 
front and side views (but the point, by mistake, has been placed down- 
wards in the figure) (see Fig. 1, Pl. xxm.). I have several others of 
this type. 
Fig. 2, Pl. xxm., shows an implement dressed all over, with the 
exception of a small piece of the natural crust at the base. It is 
triangular in section, and is of the kind which would be described as 
shoe-shaped. It approaches, in my opinion, the form of certain shoe- 
shaped implements from Acton, which I have seen exhibited in 
General Pitt-Rivers’ collection at South Kensington. It was found in 
Island Magee, and is five and three-quarter inches long and three inches 
broad at the base. 
A second kind consist of implements with a heavy butt for holding in 
the hand, and pointed at the opposite end, one of which was figured in 
my previous Paper.’? Some have natural prongs of flint for a point, and 
a dressed butt to fit the hand. Fig. 5, Pl. xx1m., shows a cone-like im- 
plement of this kind. It is four and a-half inches long and nine inches 
in circumference near the base, it was found at Kilroot. I have 
several implements with dressed base and natural point; and in all 
the cases the intention of using the natural prong as a point is 
perfectly evident. I have, besides these, several implements with 
natural base and dressed point. Animplement made from a split flint 
pebble is shown by Fig. 3, Pl. xxi. It is oval in shape, four and 
a-half inches long, and three and a-half broad at the base. It is 
flattish, and approaches in shape some paleeolithic implements, though 
muchruder. Very little of the original outside crust has been dressed 
off, and the dressed parts are heavily crusted. The edges have never 
been sharp or intended for cutting. It was found at Kilroot. 
I show, in Fig. 6, Pl. xxur., an implement much of the character 
of the large pear-shaped implements, only that it is smaller, and has 
been dressed all over. In this specimen, though an excellent pointed 
weapon has been produced, we see none of that alternate flaking from 
an edge such as we find in paleolithic and neolithic implements. The 
point has been the only part intended for use. It is four and a-half 
inches long and seven and a-half in circumference at the base. It was 
also found at Kilroot, not far from where I got the previously described 
specimen. (Fig. 3, Pl. xxi.) 
Fig. 4, Pl. xxm., shows one of several implements from the 
raised beach which may be taken as a separate class. They are 
pointed, but short, and have probably been used mounted. The dress- 
ing has been made by a few bold strokes. 
Fig. 7, Pl. xxur., shows a flake from the interglacial gravels at 
Ballyrudder, half size; but the bulb is not well brought out in the 
figure.
