Mr. Coffey has often discussed this point with Mr. Xnowles, and 

 is inclined to agree with him as to the okler character of the flakes 

 found along the shore of AVhitepark Bay. They are generally of the 

 long finger-like form, such as is found in the raised beach at Larne, 

 rather than the broad and often nondescript class of flake common in 

 the sandhills. A good specimen is shown in fig. 11, IS"©. 1. It was 

 found by Mr. Coffey in the stony part of the beach at "Whitepark 



Bay, within the tide-wash. Evidently, it had only recently been 

 exposed, and is little rolled. The chips at the side were fresh, and 

 were probably caused by the gale which had not quite blown itself 

 out. This rather implies that this flake had come out of the raised 

 beach itself, and, therefore, represents the older formation underlying 

 the sandhills. A much-rolled flake from the same beach is shown 

 (fig. 11, ^o. 2). 



The Larne-type celt (fig. 8, ^o. 5) was found by Mr, Coffey in a 

 similar position on the exposed beach at Portstewart, between the 

 town and the sandhills. It also is to be referred to the raised beach. 



The large pear-shaped pieces of flint collected by Mr. Knowles 

 along the shores at Larne, Island Magee, and Kiboot, and regarded 

 by him as artificial, are not discussed in this paper. I^one of them 

 have been found in the gravels, but only along the shore -line, and 

 they do not affect the evidence examined in this section of the 

 present paper.
