A beautifully worked implement, with very low, even chip-ping. The sides are straight; it is nearly flat on one side, androunded on the other. Bluish 25. This is peculiar ; it is triangular, with straight sides, some-what resembling the form of a native oyster ; the butt is equallythick either way, but the distant edge is thin, straight, and cutting. 26. Of rounded form ; bluish white ; the exact counterpart ofa black implement from Le Moustier Cave, in the British Museum.(See Woodcut on next page.) 27. Flat on one side ; not so well made. These four, 24-27, as well as others not so well formed, togetherwith wTaste and used chips, all present the same mineral white coat is thin, shewing blue here and there; they are ofpeculiar appearance, and differ from others in the locality. The closeresemblance between these and some cave implements of Franceand England, has induced me to call them by that term provisionally. VOL. XV. H 98 PALAEOLITHIC IMPLEMENTS
