On Stone and Flint Implements, by James Hardy. 167 



barbs are broken away. Found in a field at Penmanshiel, in 

 winter of 1874-5. 



3. Plate III., fig. 5. A leaf -shaped arrow bead of whitish 

 grey flint, very artistically formed, with undulating cross-strokes. 

 It may be of the same variety of flint as Nos. 1 and 2. Found 

 in 1875, near an old camp (British) on Bowshiel farm, as well as 

 several other wrought flints. In this field, stone bullets formed 

 of greywacke, similar to those found on the opposite and adjoin- 

 ing farm of Penmanshiel, have occasionally been picked up ; 

 also a stone-quern. 



4. Plate III., fig. 4. A very fine laboriously-chipped leaf- 

 shaped spear or javelin head, of a light grey flint, darker, how- 

 ever, than the preceding articles. The point is blunt, and would 

 not do much execution. Its length is 4£; and its breadth 2 

 inches ; weight 2 oz. It was found, many years ago, by a shep- 

 herd on the top of Blackcastle hill, East Lothian, in the parish 

 of Oldhamstocks. It belongs to Miss Weatherley, Cockburns- 

 path. There is an ancient camp on Blackcastle hill. 



YI. PlERCERS. 



1 and 2. Plate III., figs. 5a and 5b. These two narrow 

 artistically chipped pieces of flint, are perhaps fragments of 

 piercers or borers. Found at Penmanshiel, in 1875. 

 YII. Scrapers. 



1. Plate III., fig. 3. A duck's-bill shaped scraper of darker 

 grey flint, chipped all round, and from both sides. Penman- 

 shiel, 1875. 



2. Plate III., fig. 6. A similar shaped scraper, with its edges 

 artistically wrought, especially on the conical front. It is of a 

 pale grey flint corresponding to arrow heads, Nos. 1 and 2. 

 Found at Penmanshiel, in 1873. Whatever use these had been 

 put to, it could not have been as light-strikers, as when applied 

 to this purpose now, it invariably damages the neat workman- 

 ship of the aborigines. 



3. 4, 5, and 6. Plate IY., figs. 2 and 3, and 2a and 3a. Small 

 disc shaped scrapers of darker grey flint, very artistically wrought. 

 They were found at Penmanshiel in 1873 and 1875. They may 

 have been used in polishing bone-pins, etc. 



7. Plate IY., fig. 4. A very fine horse-shoe shaped scraper of 

 a blackish grey flint, much darker than any of the other articles. 

 It is chipped all round. It reminds one of the luxurious flint
