IS 
of France by MM. de Verneuil and L. Lartet, on the 22nd 
June, 1 163. 
B 10. 
In this Case examples of scrapers are shown. Nos. i to 11. 
Nos. 12 to 16 are specimens of the so-called "fossil beads." 
No. 27 is a scraper of the form least frequently found in the 
drift. Nos. 17 to 26, and 28 to 34, are chiefly waste flakes, 
struck off during the manufacture of implements. Nos. 28 and 
33 show much subsequent work. 
D 3- 
In this Case forgeries of implements of drift type are 
exhibited, — Nos. i to 32. Nos. i to 3, 6 to 8, 10, 14, 21 to 24, 
28, and 30 are the productions of French artists. Nos. 6 to 8 
are from Abbeville: an attempt has been made to give false 
patina to these specimens. Nos. 2 and 1 1 were bought in Paris. 
The rest of the French forgeries were chiefly obtained at St. 
Acheul. The productions of ''Flint Jack" are Nos. 9, 17, 18, 
25 to 27, 29, 31, and 32. These he made in Salisbury to order. 
Nos. 15 and 16 are drift flints which have been improved by the 
finders. The remaining forgeries are the work of amateurs con- 
nected with the Museum. (See Nos. 5 and 13.) 
Nos. 33 to 56 are exhibited as natural forms of flint; these in 
no case show human workmanship, but from their form are cal- 
culated to mislead inexperienced collectors. 
Cave Series. 
B II TO B 16, C 10 TO C 12. 
The specimens in these Cases have been obtained chiefly 
from the caves of France. No artificial rubbing occurs upon 
any of the flint implements. Remains of a fauna, nearly identical 
with that of the drift, abound in these caves, intermingled with 
vestiges of human industry, but no trace of any domesticated 
animal has been observed. 
Nearly all the objects exhibited were found in caves, and under 
rock-shelters, on the banks of the Vezere, Dordogne, by the late 
Mr. Henry Christy, and his friend M. E. Lartet, of Paris; the 
whole of the expenses attending these investigations were borne 
by Mr. Christy. 
The different stations have been classed according to their sup- 
posed relative antiquity.
