190 ? — 4.] Dr Munro on Man in the Palaeolithic Period. 127 
in London and Paris. Nos. 1-7, 9-11, 18 and 19 represent saws, borers, 
scrapers, etc. from the later stations. Nos. 12 and 16 are illustrations of the 
laurel-leaf-shaped lance-heads commonly described as belonging to the Solu- 
ir4en period. The former was found at Laugerie Basse (Col. Massenat-Girod), 
and the latter (made of agate) in the Grotte de l’Eglise (Dordogne). Nos. 8, 
15, 17 and 21 are specimens of the earlier implements from Le Moustier, and 
are all trimmed flakes, with the exception of 17, which is a small coup de 
poing. No. 13 represents a core from Les Eyzies, showing on the left a small 
portion of the original surface of the flint, and No. 20 a well-made flake from 
La Madelaine. A small mortar made out of a waterworn pebble from Les 
Eyzies is shown under figure 14 ; others like it have been recorded from 
La Madelaine, Laugerie Basse, Bruniquel, and probably elsewhere. 
III. Weapons and ornaments made of bone, teeth, deer-horn, ivory and 
shells. Nos. 1-14, 15, 17-19 (ivory), 20, 25 (ox), 26 (fox), 27 and 28 are 
from La Madelaine (Col. L: and C.). Nos. 5-14 are from Laugerie Basse 
(Col. Massenat-Girod). Nos. 24 and 29, representing a supposed whistle and 
a sculptured dagger, are from Laugerie Basse (Col. L. and C.). No. 16 is 
a thin plaque carved of bone, probably an ornamental pendant, found at 
Bruniquel (British Museum). Nos. 21-23 are from Kent’s Cavern. The 
precise use of the pointed objects figured under Nos. 12-14, 28 and 30 is 
not known, but it is probable that they were the tips of small lances pro- 
pelled by means of such an implement as is figured under No. 8, Plate IV. 
The small harpoon (No. 27) might have been used as an arrow-point, but 
we have no evidence that bows and arrows were then in use. 
IY. On this Plate there is a collection of objects from various stations 
illustrating the art of the Palaeolithic people. No. 1 shows a portion of 
reindeer-horn with a rude representation of a prone man, apparently in the 
act of throwing a spear at a male auroch. The hands are imperfectly repre- 
sented, the body is covered with hair, and a cord, possibly attached to the 
head of a harpoon, falls behind the legs. This specimen was found at 
Laugerie Basse (Col. Massenat-Girod). Nos. 2 and 14 represent portions of 
darts with badly-executed human hands, showing only four fingers. Nos. 
3, 4 and 5 are from La Madelaine (Col. L. and C.). One (3) represents a 
piece of stag’s horn ( baton de commandement), having a stag with complex 
antlers incised on it. Another (4) is a plate of the canon bone of a reindeer 
with incised figures of bovine animals. The third represents a truncated dart 
ornamented with flowers, and what looks like the outstretched skin of a 
fox. No. 6 is from Les Eyzies, and shows a ruminant having a spear 
entering its breast {ibid. ). A portion of a bevelled dart-head from Laugerie 
Basse, with a sequence of half-fledged birds, is shown by No. 7 {ibid.). No. 8 
represents a dart-propeller from Laugerie Basse, ornamented with a horse’s 
head and an elongated forepart of a deer {ibid.). Nos. 9, 10 and 15 are 
also from Laugerie Basse (Col. Massenat-Girod), and represent the well- 
extended antlers of a reindeer (9), an otter eating a salmon (10), and a 
hare (15), sculptured in ivory. No. 11, unmistakably showing the hind 
portion of a pig, is from the Kesslerloch, Switzerland (after Conrad Merk). 
On the canine of a bear (No. 12) from Duruthy Cave a seal is engraved 
(. Reliquiae Acguitanicce , p. 223). The palm of the brow antler of a reindeer 
is incised with the figure of some kind of horned animal (No. 13), probably 
intended for an ibex.
