Notes on West Indian Stone Implements; and 
other Indian Relics {Illustrated). 
By the Editor. 
Nos. 3 &" 4. 
[Note : It will be observed that in this instalment of this series, the 
title has been enlarged, to include other relics of the Indians, in addi- 
tion to their stone implements. Written as these notes are, in a place 
where is rapidly accumulating a very considerable collection of 
Indian relics of stone, shell, bone, and of clay (pottery), I find it im- 
possible to confine myself strictly and solely to those which happen to 
be of stone ; more especially as very often — and on the most in- 
teresting occasions — the relics of various materials are found associated 
together in such a way that the one kind throws light upon the other. 
In future, therefore, relics of all materials and kinds, to be attributed 
to the Redmen of the West Indies or Guiana, will be treated in these 
notes. In the one of the two notes will chiefly be discussed the 
very fine series of stone implements belonging to Sir Thomas 
Graham Briggs, Bart., of Barbados, who, with truly admirable 
generosity, has not only placed his fine collection in my hands for des- 
cription, but has also provided for the due illustration of this descrip- 
tion ; and in the second will be described a very interesting series of 
Carib pottery, recently discovered at Pin. Enmore, on the West Coast 
of Demerara. 
Furthermore, in this prefatory note it is as well to call attention to 
a mistake in the last of the papers of this series, by which the " banner 
stone" described on pp. 255-8, and figured on Plate 5 (Timehri, Vol. ii.) 
is said to have been derived from St. Lucia and to belong to the col- 
lection of M. Rousellet, instead, as it should have been, from St. 
Vincent and to the collection of Mr. E. L. Atkinson.J 
IR THOMAS GRAHAM BRIGGS owns, as 
many of our readers will know, a large 
amount of land in more than one of the West 
Indian Islands, and is the happy possessor of influential
