The material 
of which these stone 
weapons 
from Bundlekund are 
manufactured differs somewhat in mineral composition and texture, hut 
is, I believe, without exception selected from the geological group 
named ‘ Semries’ by Professor Henry Medlicott in his report on the 
district. A sort of greenstone is usually selected, but sometimes a 
more distinctly schistose rock, and in one case (Fig* A,) a piece of 
limestone has been used, though in the highly finished ones only the 
harder and better adapted stones seemed to have been used. 
The small fragment from Sibdilla is made of a softish schist ill 
suited for such a purpose and which has evidently broken along a 
natural flaw or parting in the stone. 
What is remarkable is, that, abundant as quartzite is, it has never 
been used for the manufacture of celts, though perhaps quartz weapons, 
especially of small size, may eventually be found. Neither have I ever 
noticed any celt manufactured from the compact Vindhyan sandstone 
of the country in which they occur. Too little is, however, known at 
present of these relics to base any reliable surmise on, and I shall 
therefore refrain from any further remarks, beyond expressing a hope 
that the notice will serve to stimulate inquiry, and prove what an 
interesting field of arcliajological research lies, as it were, at our doors, 
and how much light a little energy and zeal may be expected to throw 
on the unwritten history of the Archaic races of men in India.
