terminating edge, and thus the tang, T\'hich is generally finished 

 off with a straight basal line, is in this instrument, furnished 

 with a blunt point. It measures one inch and four-fifths in 

 greatest length, and one inch and three-tenths in breadth, and 

 is composed of amber-coloured flint. This arrow-tip closely re- 

 sembles one found by Rev. W. Greenwell, in a barrow, at Eud- 

 stone, near Bridlington (Evans fig. 318, p. 343), but the example 

 from Allendale, now exhibited, is a larger and more finely finished 

 object. The companion arrow-tip to the one just described, and 

 which is in the possession of Mr. A. Shield, Bum Laws, agrees 

 very closely to the one exhibited in general outline and finish, 

 but is a trifle larger. 



Another example of this class is a slender and rather uncom- 

 mon variety of arrow-head, carefully chipped, and furnished with 

 serrated edges. One barb is slightly longer and sharper than 

 the other, the tang strong and chipped to a sharp edge. This 

 implement has been made from a dark-coloured flint, and carries 

 on one side a depression, in which the original skin or coating of 

 the flint, of a chalky character, is clearly shown. It is one inch 

 and thirteen-twentieths in length, and seventeen-twentieths of 

 an inch in greatest breadth. The only example like it, figured 

 by Mr. Evans as a rare form, at p. 342, fig. 316, of his work, 

 was found in Reach Een, Cambridgeshire. 



A few other examples are exhibited of the double-barbed va- 

 riety of a medium size, averaging from three-quarters of an inch 

 to one inch and a quarter in length, and represent, in a typical 

 way, the commoner examples of this find. One is a very small 

 form, and is remarkable in being broader than it is long, measur- 

 ing thirteen-twentieths of an inch in length and seventeen-twen- 

 tieths in breadth. 



The triangular variety of arrow-heads has proved a rare form 

 in this as in other finds, only one or two examples of this kind 

 having come to my knowledge. The one thus labelled in the 

 present collection, must, I think, be classed as an arrow-tip of 

 this variety. It is a very thick exam])lc, shaped on one side 

 only, the other illustrating very markedly conchoidal fracture. 

 The point is attenuated and somewhat curved. Anotlicr very
