type are likely to be found in soil turned up by cultivation, 
or where the surface has been removed by rains, on the 
borders of plateau-lands overlooking a valley, near the margins 
of ancient forests, or in any place suitable for an encampment 
near water: attention may be drawn to such spots by ob¬ 
serving the flakes which are always abundant in places where 
stone implements have been fabricated. 15. Note what class 
of pottery, if any, is found with flakes and implements on 
the surface. 16. Notice whether the implements have been 
formed by chipping or by grinding; if by grinding, look for the 
concave rubbing-stones on which they were ground. 17. Notice 
any evidence that may exist of metal having been used at the 
same time or subsequently to the stone implements. 18. Pre¬ 
serve any bone implements or other relics found on the spot. 
19. Should any implements be found with holes bored through 
them, notice whether the holes are cylindrical or enlarged to¬ 
wards the outside, from having been bored from the two sides. 
20. Preserve as many specimens as possible, and label them all 
at once , by writing with ink upon the stones if possible ; take 
measurements and make outline drawings of any that cannot 
be carried away, and notice what animal remains are found 
with them. 21. The following illustrations of some of the 
principal types of neolithic implements found in this country 
are contributed by John Evans, Esq., F.E.S.
