a large bulb of concussion at the broad end on the other

Ground- edged Knife. — In fig. 2 there is represented, on a scale 

 of two-thirds, a very fine example of an oblong ground-edged 

 knife of dark coloured flint, which was found in a field on 



the farm of Butterlaw, near 

 Coldstream, about 1867. It is 

 4 inches in length by 2J inches 

 in breadth, and averages about 

 ^ inch in thickness. Another of 

 similar form, 3^ by 2^ inches, 

 found at Torrs, Glenluce, Wig- 

 townshire, now in the National 

 Museum, is the second largest 

 recorded to have been found 

 in Scotland. 



From Earlston there is a 

 fragment of a ground-edged 

 knife of similar type to that 

 already mentioned from Butter- 

 law. This fragment has been 

 exposed to the action of fire, 

 like the portion in the Museum 

 found on the Culbin Sands, 

 Elginshire.* 



Arrow-Heads. — (1) Froin Olackmae, Earlston, there are two 

 triangular arrow-heads, one of which is slightly hollowed on 

 the base. (2) From Earlston there is the base end of an 

 arrow-head of the lop-sided type, which is worked on both 

 edges of each face, and much resembles fig. 837 in Sir John 

 Evans's work.f The greater part of each face shows the 

 natural surface of the fracture, only the edges being trimmed. 

 (3) From Hume there are two arrow-heads of the ordinary 

 form, with barbs and stem, and part of a small arrow-head of 

 triangular form. (4) From Mosshouses, Earlston, there is a 

 small arrow-head of the form with barbs and centre stem ; 

 a neatly formed leaf-shaped arrow-head of the long narrow 

 form, 1-1% inch in length by f inch in breadth, with the point
