34. Flint knife, merely flaked, not chipped (Ireland.) 
35. Flint spear point, rudely chipped. 
Flint arrow-heads are divided into five classes— 
1. Triangular arrow-heads (plate 9, fig. 1 and 2). Fig. 2 is 
curved at the sides for holding the string or sinew by which it 
was to be attached to the shaft; a similar provision is made in 
No. 63 in this case. 
2. The same form as Class 1, but much hollowed out at the 
base (plate 9, figs. 4, and 5). This class is scarcely more 
than a variety of Class 1. 
3. Stemmed arrow-heads (plate 9, fig. 6 and 7). Fig. 7 is 
serrated upon the sides and edges—a character of finish rare in 
British weapons, although common enough in collections of 
Scandinavian antiquities. No. 66 in this case has this jagged or 
saw-like edge. 
4. Stemmed arrow-heads, with the wings or barbs much pro¬ 
longed (plate 9, fig. 8, 9, and 10). 
5. Leaf-shaped arrow-heads (plate 9, fig. 11, 12, 13). 
36 to 40. Flint arrow points, triangular type (Ireland.) 
41 to 51. Flint arrow-points, stemmed type (Ireland). 
52. Flint spear-point, leaf-shaped type (Ireland). 
53 to 61. Flint arrow-points, leaf-shaped type (Ireland). 
62. Flint arrow-point, leaf-shaped type (Point of Ayr, Scotland). 
63. Flint arrow-point, with notches for binding it more securely to 
shaft. 
64. Flint skin scraper; in this flake, unlike No. 34, the cutting 
edges have been carefully chipped away. 
65 Flint spear-point, leaf-shaped type, said to have been found at 
Hoxne, Suffolk (but evidently not from the drift). This 
is the only specimen exhibited which has been rubbed—all 
the other spear and arrow-points are chipped only. 
66. Flint spear-head, stemmed type. 
CASE U. 
The photograph in this case is the likeness of the well-known 
forger of flint and stone implements, Thomas Simpson, who was 
bom at Whitby, in Yorkshire, in 1812, and who has earned by his 
peculiar expertness the title of “ Flint Jack.” “ Flint Jack” 
visited Salisbury, Winchester, Dorchester, and some other places 
in this neighbourhood in the course of the year 1863, but his 
success was not great. The arrow heads he sold in Salisbury were 
stated by him (falsely of course) to have been found at Stonehenge, 
a place which by the bye he walked some distance out of his road 
to visit. 
Eventually “ Flint Jack” made a number of specimens for Mr. 
E. T. Stevens, although he failed in producing many types, 
sketches of which were given him. He was also unable to make a
