at the point cannot be detected without a lens. It measures 

 fthin. in length, and is chipped out of black translucent flint. 

 There is nothing like it figured by Evans. 



Fig. 5 is a roughly lozenge-shaped specimen • the material 

 is black translucent flint, very similar to the last. 



Fig. 6 is a leaf-shaped non-pointed specimen ; a broken 

 lozenge-shaped example (fig. 10), and a broken barbed speci- 

 men complete the series of arrowheads. 



The scrapers found are characteristic of the district, and no 

 very symmetrical examples occur. In several cases they are 

 formed from a flake which has been struck off the outside of a 

 flint pebble. 



Plate V., fig. n, shows a scraper of yellow flint slightly 

 sand polished. Fig. 12 has been chipped out of a nodule of 

 yellow flint, and shows part of the crust of a rounded pebble. 

 Fig. 13 is apparently a scraper which has been broken across; 

 it is of a dark pink flint characteristic of the district. Fig. 14 

 is a scraper or thumb-flint of light grey splintery flint. Fig. 15 

 is a scraper of so-called " duck-bill " form, of light flint which 

 has been weathered white. 



Between 500 and 600 flakes were picked up, nearly all of 

 small size, and showing great variety in shape, size, and 

 colour of material, ranging from minute splinters up to a 

 length of 1^ inches, rarely more. Plate V., fig. 16, shows a 

 flake which has been trimmed along the edges forming a sort 

 of knife. Fig. 17 is a symmetrical flake of grey translucent 

 flint. 



Plate V., figs. 7, 8, and 9, represent trimmed flakes. Fig. 9 

 may be a broken scraper. 



The surface of the ground on this site was strewn with 

 small rounded flint nodules washed apparently out of the local 

 boulder clay, and no doubt carefully collected and kept in 

 readiness to be worked up into flakes and implements. Some 

 of the nodules are battered and bruised round the edges, but 

 the favourite "hammer stones" seem to have been the rounded 

 quartz pebbles, which are so plentiful on the shore. Several
