Most of the implements from Sans Souci and Bondi were 

 obtained by me from the few blacks who, some twenty years ago r 

 used to camp at these places. 



Native Implements. 



1. — Tomahawk. The Blacks' Gamp, Sans Souci, Botany, N.S.W. 



Of dolerite ; the cutting edge is fairly well ground, but the 



haft or upper part is merely roughly chipped into shape. 



Weight lib. 121 zs. Dimensions 5f x 3- x V x If. (Plate 13.) 



2. — Tomahawk. The Blacks' Camp, Sans Souci, Botany, N.S.W. 



Of diorite ; the whole of this has been worked into shape, 



except the top end ; in general make and appearance it is 



very like No. 68, from Niagara, America. Weight lib. 1 J oz. 



Dimensions 4§" x 2f" x If". (Plate 14.) 



3. — Tomahawk. The Blacks' Camp, Sans Souci, Botany, N.S.W. 

 A flat pebble of spotted altered claystone, with ground 

 edge. Weight 12 \ ozs. Dimensions 4- x V' x 2|" x 1|". 

 (Plate 14.) 



4. — Tomahawk. The Blacks' Camp, Sans Souci, Botany, N.S.W. 

 Of spotted altered claystone ; much worn. The cutting 

 edge of this is so blunted as to be practically non-existent. 

 Dimensions 4-^-" x 3|" x 1". 



5. — Tomahawk. The Blacks' Camp, Sans Souci, Botany, N.S.W. 

 Of spotted altered claystone; an attempt has been made 

 to form thumb and finger pits. One side has been flattened, 

 as if it had been rubbed down on a rock or used as a rubber 

 or grinder ; from the appearance of the ground surface this 

 seems to be of much more recent origin than the implement 

 itself ; probably it was used as a grinder after it had become 

 useless as a tomahawk. This is not well shown in the plate. 

 Weight 13J ozs. Dimensions 4ii" x 3|" x 1-J-". (Plate 15.) 



6. — Tomahawk. The Blacks' Camp, Sans Souci, Botany, N.S.W. 



Of spotted altered claystone ; the shape is unusual, it is 



apparently merely a flat pebble with a ground cutting edge
