I have reason to believe that these were originally col- 
lected from the villagers of that island, who had doubt- 
less found them as ' surface implements'. No, 5 is especi- 
ally worthy of notice, because of its peculiarly elaborate 
f shoulders.' The fourth, which is a fair specimen of the 
characteristic West Indian two intersecting circles type 
(cf : fig. 5, 6, 7. PI. 6 in these notes,) was procured from 
Antigua by Dr. Dennely. The sixth, which is only dis- 
tinguished from a simple wedge-shaped form by its side- 
nicks, was procured from St. Kitts by Captain ROGER. 
Its remarkable asymmetry, which is almost exactly re- 
produced in other examples I have met with, is worthy 
of notice, as being probably intentional. 
The remaining fourteen adzes are all of the form which 
may be described as petaloid, or petal-shaped. In this 
form, the commonest of all, the cutting edge is on one, 
semicircular, end ; and from the extremities of this end, 
the sides slope more or less gradually to meet each other 
in a more or less sharp point. No. 7 (Plate 9), procured 
from Antigua by Dr. DENNELY, is the finest specimen 
I have ever seen of this very highly polished variety of 
petaloid adze. No. 8, from St. Kitts, is a similar 
example, but with a thicker cross-section. Nos. 9 
and 10, both collected in St. Lucia by Dr. DEN- 
NELY, are chiefly remarkable for their material, which 
is a beautifully mottled gray-green stone. In No. 
11, also procured from St. Lucia by Dr. Dennely, one 
of the side surfaces is flat, while the other is of the 
usual convex form. No. 12, from the same island and the 
some collector, is a pretty little stone, so small that it 
is somewhat difficult to imagine its use as a tool ; it is 
also peculiar in being broader in its short axis, than any
