34 MR. W. G. CLARKE ON REMAINS OF THE NEOLITHIC AGE. 
(fig. 8) is not only leaf-shaped, but also has a stalk, the leaf- 
-shaped part being 2 \ inches long and an inch wide, while the 
stalk is just over half an inch in length and a quarter of an 
inch in width. Stranger still is a knife (fig. io) in which a 
curious natural formation has been cleverly utilised to form 
a handle, the result being an implement of most uncommon 
appearance. A large curved flake-knife from a stone-heap 
at Snarehill is just under 6| inches in length and slightly 
over 2b inches in width at the widest part. The finest saw 
from the district has already been described and figured in 
the Transactions. I have found 5 others ; 1 a flake with 
a portion of the outer crust adhering for a handle, 2 pointed 
flakes with roughly serrated edges, and 2 with only a portion 
of one edge toothed. 
Scrapers are by far the most common implements in the 
district. Of 213 specimens only one is pear-shaped (fig. 7). 
This was found at Santon ; one exactly like it was found at 
Santon Downham by Mr. W. A. Dutt. The under surface is 
quite flat, but the rounded upper surface is covered with most 
delicate chipping. It is if inches both in length and breadth. 
Other varieties are 2 knife-scrapers, 4 circular, 4 oval, 
41 roughly square-ended, 42 duckbill (sometimes called 
“ finger” scrapers), and 118 worked to a quadrant or more 
of a circle. The knife-scrapers are chipped on the back as 
well as the surface, so as to form a sharp cutting edge, that 
on the larger specimen being over 2 inches in length. 
Genuine circular and oval scrapers, that is, chipped equally 
all the way round and without a bulb of percussion so as to 
form a base, are very rare, although those that do occur are 
of fine workmanship. Two of the oval scrapers are flat- 
surfaced, with chipping only on the edges ; two are chipped 
all over, the larger being 3 inches by 2\. So far as my own 
collection evidences, more of the duckbill scrapers have a 
portion of crust adhering than has any other variety. One 
peculiar scraper seems originally to have been oval in form, 
4 inches in length and a little over 2b in width. It broke in 
halves, was rechipped at the base, and thus left of unusual 
shape. One of the top surfaces has also been rubbed. A
