The dark-colored surface at the top andalong the right side is considered Paleolithic, but isnot highly glossy. It is, however, in that respect likemany of the Kansas Paleoliths. The other specimen(5227) while Early Paleolithic throughout the mostof the exposed surface, was chipped by Xeolithic manalong the upper edge, as evinced by the fresh fracturesurfaces. The Early Paleolithic weather-crust, orpatina, has somewhat less thickness than seen in thelast, and consists, not of a gloss, but of an alterationin color to a dirty white. The dark spots seen on theEarly Ialeolithic Mirface are caused by limonite de-posits. Plate XI shows a collection of artifacts of recentdate, collected bv Mr. P>rower in the vallev of Mill.
