been done with a short instrument, as the cut line is not continuous. 
It can be seen by the lines overlapping that there had been two shifts 
of the saw in making the cut. It is shown in PI. xii., fig. 10. I 
also obtained a piece of bone which has been dressed to a point. It 
is shown in PI. xi., fig. 6. The usual fragments of pottery were also 
found, but none of them ornamented.

There are extensive sand-hills at this place, which I visited for the 
first time in 1887. When the Hoyal Historical and Archseological 
Association of Ireland met in Enniskillen that year an excursion to 
Bundoran was arranged, under the guidance of Mr. Thomas Plunkett, 
M.E.I. A. Canon Grainger, Rev. Gr. R. Buick, Rev. Leonard Hasse, 
and myself, accompanied Mr. Plunkett to the sand-hills, and we found 
scrapers, hollow scrapers, and arrow-heads of chert and flint; but 
owing to the time allotted to the search for antiquities being very 
limited, I felt that our examination of such an important place was 
very hasty and incomplete. I therefore paid a second visit to these 
sand-hills before the end of the summer of 1887, and obtained 130 
chert scrapers, 24 hollow scrapers, a chert arrow-head, a chert 
"slug," or flake, dressed over the back, a borer, and several other 
dressed objects of chert, besides some flint scrapers and flakes, 
and a well-dressed knife of flint broken at the point. I went 
again this year, in the interests of the Academy, and found 41 chert 
scrapers, 11 flint scrapers, 6 hollow scrapers of chert, and one of 
flint, an imperfectly formed arrow-head of chert, a beautiful little 
flint object combining both the ordinary and the hollow scraper (see 
PI. XIII., flg. 10), a broken spear-head of flint, an arrow-head of flint, 107 
flakes of chert, and 30 of flint, hammer-stones, anvil-stones, pottery, 
and bones. The chert objects are much more numerous than those 
made of flint. About three-fourths of the entire are of chert. This 
material is quite black, with a clean, smooth, shiny fracture. Most 
of the objects made from it are small, some being much smaller than 
flint implements of the same class. Some of the scrapers are only half 
an inch in diameter. Two of these are shown full size in figs. 8 and 
11 in Plate xiii. The place where the implements are found in greatest 
quantity is on the face of a hill alongside the sand-hills, and near a 
large earn, which is partly demolished. In other sand-hills we found 
the implements in greatest abundance around the hut-sites where the
