sented, but much more highly finished, has been sent me, 
from St. Lucia, by my friend Mr. R. P. CROPPER. 
Figs, i- — 6, Plate 2, are various examples of a type very 
common in the West Indian islands, but uncommon, as 
far as I know, in Guiana. It is true that stone-implements 
of the shape shown in Jigs. /, 2, 4, 5 <5r 6 are indeed 
common enough in Guiana; but those from the West Indies 
are easily distinguished by their very peculiarly finished 
surface. No. 3 differs, even in form, from any Guiana 
example known to me. On the other hand, the 
whole of these implements (1—6) correspond both 
in form and finish with many examples from 
Jamaica. There are specimens from the latter 
island in the Blackmore Museum, about which Dr. 
H. P. BLACKMORE, the curator, wrote to me as follows. 
"The similarity in form of the Jamaica stones to some 
from France is very curious — but is well-known. One of 
the specimens in the case was given me by a friend, 
with the history that it was found in England. I at once 
said no — probably Carib or French. Mr. Stevens * then 
saw the specimen and said it was probably French. My 
friend laughed afterward, and said he had given me a 
wrong history purposely to see if much was known 
about these old stones, as he was rather sceptical on the 
point — and admitted that it came from Jamaica/' 
Fig. 7 Plate 2 represents a very beautiful little imple- 
ment to which I know no parallel, and, though it evidently 
belongs to the practical class of implements, it is distin- 
guished by the fact that it is very beautifully concave on one 
side, like a spoon, and in that, like certain implements of
