the mammoth and the hyena have been found in it. The 
flint implements are of very drift-like types. The large 
scrapers, such as Nos. 6 to lo, closely resemble those 
exhibited from the drift (Case B lo, Nos. i to ii), and 
also the examples in recent use by the Esquimaux 
(Case D 5, Nos. 14 to 17). Stone skin-scrapers of a 
similar form are in present use by the Merrimack Indians. 
Nos. 13 to 18 are flint spear-heads ; No. is similar to 
the disco'idal type of implement found in the drift (see 
Case 8, Nos, 7, 8, and 17); No. 25 is the cast of a 
hammer-stone showing bruising from use. For com- 
parison, see Case A 19, Nos. 4 and 7 ; A 20, Nos. i, 2, 
3 ; A 21, Nos. 13 and 20; all of which belong to the later 
Stone period (neolithic). Not a single worked bone or 
sculptured animal figure has been found at Le Moustier.

2. Gorge d'Enfer. — ^A rock-shelter in the Gorge d'Enfer (a small 
valley off the Vezere) has produced worked bone imple- 
ments, among which may be noticed arrow-heads of a 
peculiar type, and flint implements, principally long flakes 
and scrapers, which last are shown on tablets 3 and 4. See 
also cast of bone implement C 10, tablet i. 
To the same period belong the objects ■ from the cave of 
Aurignac (Haute Garonne), Case B 1 1, tablets i and 2; and from 
the cave of Rebinac (Basses-Pyrenees), Case B 11, tablet 3. 
3. Les Eyzies, La Madelame, ofc. — The cave of Les Eyzies is 
situated at 1 14 feet above the level of the Vezere. After 
having served as a habitation for the early occupants, who 
left on the floor their rubbish, such as bones, broken imple- 
ments, &c., an infiltration of water, containing calcareous 
matter, took place, which formed a cake, or breccia, on 
the surface of the floor of the cave, and secured the objects 
beneath from being disturbed. Specimens of this breccia, 
containing broken animal bones and human-worked flints, 
are shown upon the top of Case H 5, Nos. i and 2, and 
in Case C 10, Nos. 3, 7, and 8. No. 7 contains a scraper 
of flint still embedded in the matrix. 
The objects discovered in Les Eyzies are flint-flakes. Case 
B 13, tablets 17 to 21, and 26 to 32 ; flint-scrapers. Case B 13, 
tablets 9 to 16, and 23 and 24; nuclei, or cores, from which 
flakes have been struck off, Case B 13, tablet 25 ; hammer 
stones and mortars ; the bones of horse, reindeer, ox, &c., some 
of them worked, Case B 13, tablets 2 and 6 ; a few engravings
