PALEOLITHIC CHELLEEN IMPLEMENT OP CHIPPED tJUARTZITE. I5ois Du Roclier, near Dinan, Brittany, France. Micault and Fornier. Cat. No. 99541, ^ natural size. sive workshop for the manufacture of Paleolithic was fouud on or near the surface at Bois du Ivocher not far from Dinan, France, by MM. .Micault and Fornier, of Eennes. The ma- terial was quartzite,and chips, Hakes, hammer stones, and un- finished implements, with the usual d('bris, were found, and along with them a number of finished implements, of which fig. C (Oat. ^o. 99541, M.) represents one. It has the same peculiarity of relativ^e thickness as other Paleolithic implements, but is more disk- shaped than any heretofore shown. Implements corresponding to those of the Chelleen epoch are found practically over the world. This would indicate the expan- sion of that civilization and the duration of the epoch to have been much greater than has been su^jposed. Those from Great Britain are found only in the eastern and southern portion from Norfolk around to Devon- shire and Lands End. They have been found in every quarter of France and southern Belgium, in all parts of Italy, and in Spain and Portugal (fig. 7). They have not been found in northern England, Scot- land, Wales, nor northern Ireland; neither in north- ern Belgium, nor Holland, nor in the Scandinavian countries, nor that portion of Germany bordering on the Baltic, nor in northern Russia. These countries may have been covered with glaciers at that epoch, or possibly by the great North Sea. Paleolithic implements have been fouud in Asia, in Pales- tine, in India from Bombay to Calcutta (fig. 8, Cat. No. 8S190, ),.
