workers, where obtainable, has been flint. The supply of flint in 

 the North of Ireland being inexhaustible, seems to have led to an 

 extensive manufacture of arrow -heads, as well as other flint imple- 

 ments, in this locality. In no other part of Britain have flint 

 arrow-heads been found so abundantly, and the skill of the 

 ancient Irish workers in flint has nowhere been excelled. These 

 weapons have been formed with a degree of symmetry, and 

 finished with a delicacy of touch, that could not be exceeded. 

 The flint arrow-heads have been divided into several leading 

 types : they pass up into javelin and spear-heads, which assume 

 the same forms. — See plate i, figs. 8 and 9. 



B442 to B468, mounted on card 17. 

 Worked Flints, of various forms and dimensions. They seem 

 to represent spear and arrow-heads in an unfinished state, or some 

 may have been rejected as unfit for completion. All the forms 

 of arrow-heads are represented on this card by rude examples. 

 Some are triangular, some indented, others stemmed, barbed, 

 leaf shaped, or lozenge shaped. Size, 1 to 4 inches long. 



No. 23 is a rude, or unfinished arrow-head. It has been 

 worked roughly into the leaf shape, but lacks the fine chipping 

 characteristic of that type. " Evans," fig. 246, represents a 

 specimen almost identical. Length, i\, breadth, if inches. 



29 to 33 unmounted, and B469 to B508 mounted on card 18. 

 Triangular Arrow-heads, varying from triangular with entire 

 base to the indented form. The notch worked in the latter is 

 sometimes quite shallow, in other specimens it appears as a deep 

 sinus. B474 and B475 are chipped on one surface only, the 

 opposite side being flat and flake-like. Size, | to 2 inches long. 



34 to 37 unmounted, and B509 to B536 mounted on card 19. 

 Stemmed Arrow -heads. The stem or tang varies in size. 

 Some, as No. B518, are beautifully serrated on the edges. Size, 

 \\\.o z\ inches long. 



26 to 28. 

 One Triangular- Indented and Two Stemmed Arrow-heads
