FLINT IMPLEMENTS FOUND IN KENT'S CAVERN. 353 
which was the continuous Floor of Stalagmite about a foot thick ; 
and was dug out in the presence of the Rev. W. Harpley, Mr. W. 
N. Row, and myself. 
Fig. 2 (No. 1515, Cav. Journ., and Fig. 389, Evans, ) is that of 
a specimen, on the scale of one half, 
linear, which may be said to connect 
the ovoid and lanceolate implements ; 
differing from the former in_ being 
pointed at one end and square at the 
other, but resembling them in being 
broadest not far from the middle. Its Wy “ne 
dimensions are considerably below those Mb” a iM 
of the ordinary ovoid tools, whilst its di Nl my 
breadth in proportion to its length is ES y 
greater than in typical lanceolate speci- “ at 
mens. It is ae fine-grained ees << 
colour flint, and the patina covering ° Beads " 
its entire surface is more pronounced than in any other of the 
Cavern implements. Its faces are equally convex, and are chipped 
over their whole surface. Its bilateral symmetry is almost perfect, 
and from its shape it seems adapted 
to have formed the point of a lance, 
but the lateral and basal edges are 
in many parts worn away as if it 
had been used as a sort of scraping 
tool, and it has lost its extreme 
point. It was found in ‘‘The Gal- 
lery,” 83 feet from the nearest 
external entrance, in the second 
foot-level of Cave-earth, beneath 
a thick and continuous Floor of 
Stalagmite, May 8th, 1866. 
Fig. 8 (No. 1822, Cav. Journ., 
and Fig. 397, Evans,) is a full-size 
representation of a tool, formed 
from a ridged flake, and exhibiting 
marks of having been in use as a 
scraping tool, not only at one end, 
but also at the sides. It was Fig. 3. 
found, with two other such specimens and a flint chip, in the first
