Of the 



Flint Implements. — The Hints from Selkirkshire were all 

 found at Philiphaugh, and it is worthy of note that they are 

 nearly all formed of a dark coloured impure flint, approaching 

 to chert. The objects found include flakes and chips, 8crai>ers, 

 a few worked implements, and arrow-heads. The scrapers 

 are nine in number, and are all of ordinary forms 

 knives, two are double-edged, and one is single- 

 edged, li inch in length, and curved longi- 

 tudinally. Another small knife, 1 inch in length, 

 is neatly worked on the edges of one face, similar 

 to the one shown in fig. 18, though not so finely 

 finished. The arrow-heads are three in number, 

 and two of these are small and of unusual form. 

 One of these is shown the full size in fig. 18. 

 Larger specimens of the same type have been 

 found on the Culbin Sands.
