Itclosely resembles the bone knife-like implement notched andscored from the Grotte de la Gorge dEnfer, figured in the Re-liquiae Aquitanicae (B, pi. xxv. fig. 2, pp. 183 et seq.). In ourspecimen, however, the notches are deeper and wider apart. 4. Two carefully rounded rods made of antler, with one of theirextremities traversed by a deep lateral groove (fig. 7), and the otherbroken short off, may have been spear-heads, in which case the groovewould be for the reception of the tapering end of the shaft. Theyare of the same form as the basal portions of those from the cave ofthe Kesslerloch, considered by Dr. Merk to be spear-heads {op. 16, 2
