object with the stone implements, that it may have been 
used as a grinding or sharpening stone. ‘This supposition is 
strengthened by the fact that its concave surface, especially 
towards the centre, is much smoother than its other parts. 
The implements from Tanjong Malim present no very 
special points of interest and are all of types commonly 
found in the Peninsula. The interest of the find lies, as 
remarked above, in the association of a number of specimens. 
I have heard stories of the discovery of hoards of stone 
implements before, one from a Malay of Lenggong in Upper 
Perak, one of a Malay in Pahang who told Mr. T. R. 
Hubback that he had come across a heap of stone circlets, 
and produced two as evidence, saying that he had taken four 
from the hoard, but that two had been lost. 
t was extremely unfortunate that the contractor and 
his coolies, who were responsible for the removal of the soil 
from its original site, and its deposition in its present 
position, had left ‘fanjong Malim before my first visit, as I 
was thus unable to question them as to whether they had 
picked up any implements or other objects of interest and 
whence they had excavated the earth. Several persons 
living in the neighbourhood asserted, however, that the soil 
had been removed from the neighbourhood of the Malay 
Training College, the construction of which had then been 
almost completed.
