D; Lindenschmidt, AlterthUmer unserer Iteidnischen Vorzeit. M. de Mortillet has lately noticed it ^ at the museum of Vaunes, derived, no doubt, from a dolmen. \ M. Lachmann has also obtained a specimen from the palatitte ^ of Unteruhldingen, on Lake Constance. In view of this variety of forms, all well characterized, of the same utensil, there might 1 iguie 4Urt. jjg room, perhaps, to make an application of the method used in Fig. 40 b. mineralogy, and designate each type of hatchet by a proper name. If this suggestion be adopted we would propose the following titles: The Keller hatchet for that of figure :^4 ; the Schwab for that of figure 35 ; the Morlot for that of figure 36 ; the Troyon for that of figure 40 ; the Bertrand for that of figure 39 ; the I'Haridon ibr the same with a square socket; the Mortil- let for the small hatchet with a socket, which is very common in France, but not yet found in our palafittes. The same method might be applied with advantage to the different types of pins,
