Hardman — Native Weapons and Implements from Australia, 69 
was intended for. These chisels were set into wooden handles by 
means of the spinifer gum, already mentioned, as used to attach spear- 
heads. 
Figs. 10 and 11, Plate ii., show bone implements, not unlike those 
found in ancient deposits at home. Eig. 9, Plate ii., is part of a fire- 
stick converted into a bradawl by the insertion of a brass nail. This 
fire-stick is identical in form and mode of use with that at present 
made use of by the natives of the Nicobar Islands.
