Scrapers {vide " Evans's Ancient Stone Implements of Great 

 Britain," fig. 226, p. 257). These specimens consist of thin flint 

 chips, more or less square in outline. The face displays the bulb 

 of percussion, while the opposite surface has a corresponding 

 concavity, the chips being, apparently, struck off the stone in 

 regular series. The distal edge, opposite the bulb, is thin and 

 crescent-shaped, the margins, in different specimens, represent- 

 ing segments of circles of various diameters, which are usually 

 finely serrated, though in some instances they are quite entire. 

 B304 has two hollow scraping edges, and its base is thick, and 

 chipped as in ordinary scrapers ; B319, B324, B347, and B354, 

 also show chipping on the back ; B321 and B325 have each two 

 crescent-shaped scraping margins. Size of longest specimen, 

 2^-in. long, if broad. The broadest specimen is z\. inches 

 broad, \\ long. 



B297, B304 and B319 are figured on plate 1, figs. 4, 5, 6, 

 B358 to B387, mounted on card No. 14. 



Flint Implements of various form and purpose. B358, B359 

 and B364 are triangular flints, which may have served both 

 as scraping and cutting tools. They have each one or two 

 sharp cutting edges, and a thicker base, which has the secondary 

 chipping of an ordinary scraper. Similar to fig. 7, " Royal Irish 

 Academy Catalogue." B360, B361, B362, B363, B365, B366, 

 B367, B368 and B369 seem to combine, in each specimen, the 

 purposes of cutting and boring. They are 2 to 3 inches long, 

 and ^ to f inches broad, with the back thick, and chipped to a 

 scraping surface, and the opposite edge thin, sharp, and un- 

 chipped. In these implements one end tapers to a blunt point, 

 while the other extremity is chipped into a rude awl-shaped 

 form. B375 is a broad thin flake, with coarsely jagged edges; 

 B376 is a fiat implement, rectangular in outline, and chipped 

 all round, 2\ by 2 inches. B359 is figured on plate 1, No. 7. 

 24 is a sharp pointed flake, coarsely chipped on the flat side, 

 and having a small rounded notch at the base, as if for scraping 

 small objects like bone needles. Length, 3 inches ; breadth,
