236 IMPLEMENTS. 



NOTE 



ON THE IMPLEMENTS REPORTED AS UNCERTAIN IN 

 THE STATEMENT OF FINDS DURING THE YEAR 1913. 



During the summer of 1913 I found, in the 25 feet beach, 

 a flint which I hesitated to term an implement or artifact and 

 I called it an " Eolith." Since then having purchased a copy 

 of Dr. Albert Churchward's " The Origin and Evolution of 

 Primitive Man," I found the copy of my implement given as 

 an illustration of one of the implements in use by the Pygmies 

 of Central Africa. 



I saw no reason why the implement used in one place 

 should be less an implement found in another, and I obtained 

 the consent of our Council to provide an illustration for the 

 Transactions. I at once communicated with the author of the 

 work and obtained his consent to reproduce his illustration of 

 the same type of implement. 



According to Dr. Churchward this is a Pygmy imple- 

 ment, and further, this author holds the opinion that the 

 Human Race originated in the Pygmy Race which, he con- 

 siders, was the departure from the Ape forms. 



Dr. Churchward also considers that the Pygmies overran 

 the continent of Europe. I felt some hesitation in accepting 

 as an implement a flint found in the 25 feet beach on account 

 of the great age of that deposit, which we suppose is of early 

 Pleistocene date, but this author places the advent of the first 

 Pygmies as far back as 2,000,000 years, hence the find is not 

 in any way a difficulty to him. I therefore place this find in 

 our Transactions^ leaving the disputable points for the future. 



I take the opportunity of illustrating the implement of 

 the same type found by Mr. Morgan, derived from the glacial 

 clay.
