' )llected. Eeports of these finds have been given from time to time to 
ientific societies, and at the Portrush meeting of the Royal Historical 
id Archaeological Association of Ireland, in 1885, I read a revised 
I '.count of the discoveries at Whitepark Bay, which is published, with 
lustrations, in their Journal, vol. vii., Fourth Series, p. 104. White- 
irk Eay is bounded by chalk cliffs, and a large quantity of flint 
)dules, which have been set free by denudation, are to be found in 
.e talus at the base of the cliffs. The necessary material being 
I entiful and easily obtained, the flint implements are mostly large, 
well as abundant. There is also a profusion of flakes, chips, and 
res. The flakes, as a rule, are irregular in shape, mostly short and 
oad. The long-pointed, spear- like kind is rare, though an occasional 
ecimen is found. A very perfect flake of this kind, dressed at the 
ng and along the sides, was excavated from the old surface about a 
ar ago, and is shown in PI. xii., fig. 4. Scrapers are the most nume- 
: us of the flint implements, and are of various patterns. Some show 
•ry coarse workmanship, but others are neatly finished, and are 
I casionally dressed round the entire edge, as in the example shown, 
'. . XII., fig. 3. We find many scrapers having the part which has been 
( essed for scraping rather pointed, and in some the part dressed for 
1 raping is a straight edge. An example of the pointed kind is shown 
i PI. XTi., fig. 9, and one with a straight edge ip PI. xi., fig. 3. 
I veral large spalls of flint have been found, which, though they 
] ve no very definite shape, and do not show any general likeness, 
] t present many signs that they have been used for cutting or 
(opping. These lead up to others, which are more or less dressed at 
1 3 sides, and have the appearance of rude axes or chisels. There 
1 ve also been found several coarse spear- or lance-heads ; a few 
ejects that might be called arrow-heads, though very rude; several 
beers, and some roughly-chipped, ball-like objects, sometimes called 
s ag-stones, but in reality intended for hammer-stones, as can easily 
\ demonstrated when a series, showing various stages of use as 
1 nmers, is seen together. A good typical specimen of the hollow 
s laper, as far as my experience goes, has not yet been found at this 
s tion. I have obtained many hammer-stones, anvil-stones, bone 
pjis, pieces of ochre and chalk, both scraped and rubbed ; several 
e imples of saddle querns and other stones of smaller size, which 
h ze a smoothed surface, arising from use in rubbing or grinding. 
I igments of pottery, variously marked ; the teeth and split bones of 
a mals, which must have been used as food, and shellfish of various 
t ds, no doubt also refuse of the food used by the people, are all
