268 Mr. James Hardy on some Flint Implements, &c. 



example of what might he called the " pen-knife " of the period. 

 The flint is partly yellowish grey and partly browmsh. Figure 

 236 of Evans is a similar implement. In the field with Nos. 8, 

 9, 10, 11, and 14, March, 1874. 



19. Broken straight knife, Plate iv., fig. 2. The apical portion 

 is snapped off. The primary long chips have been neatly taken 

 off. It has been a home-made example of the mineral called 

 flinty slate, a Silurian production. It is a mixture of grey and 

 red. On " the Chesters " camp at Penmanshiel, where the 

 numerous stone bullets are found. Spring, 1873. 



V. Flakes. 



20. Plate iii., fig. 1. This shapeless splinter of sandy grey 

 flint was found on the site of one of the three cairns that once 

 stood in a triangle on the march between Penmanshiel and 

 Harelawside, which was at the same time the boundary between 

 Cockburnspath and Coldingham parishes. This was the middle 

 cairn, and was surrounded by a rude stone wall. None of these 

 huge cairns yielded anything when removed, except St. David's, 

 in which there was a cist and bones. Nos. 4 and 13, and the 

 burnt earthen ring No. 12, of last report, were within this circuit. 



21. Plate iv., fig. 5. Flint chip of blackish brown flint. Along 

 with another fragment, from the area of one of the barrows, where 

 the flint axe was obtained. 



22. Plate iv., fig. 4. I found this near one of Canon Green- 

 well's diggings in May, 1873, when crossing Whiteside hill, on 

 my way to the Club's Chatton meeting. It is the second example 

 of the kind I have found there. It is burnt almost white, from 

 having been placed among the incandescent bones within the 

 grave. There is a group of camps in the Earl of Tankerville's 

 woods at Fowberry, where the inmates of these tombs may have 

 lived. I may record here that in the large Weetwood camp on 

 the northern projection of this hill, two very fine greenstone 

 stoDe bullets of the larger size were obtained by Mr. Ord, which 

 ultimately passed into Mr. Tate's collection.
