Nos. 12 and 13, from Burwell Fen, Cambridgeshire, show the 
object which appears to have led to the use of artificial rubbing. 
In these specimens the rubbing has been merely for the purpose 
of removing sharp edges, and with the intention of rendering 
the implement more comfortable for use in the hand. 
No. 15, from Flixton, near Manchester, is a fine specimen. 
No. 22, found at North Sway, Hants, by Mr. Adlam, in 
November, 1868, and presented by him to the collection, is 
nicely polished. 
No. 18 was found in the river Lambourn, Berks, in 1836 ; it 
has been presented to the collection by Mr. J. Ellis Jervoise.
