[3] Mr. Evans in his _Stone Implements of Great Britain_ divides those
of the River Drift into Flakes, Pointed Implements, and Sharp-rimmed
Implements.
[4] Most of these carved implements were discovered by Mr. Christy and
M. Lartet, and left by the former to the French Museum of Prehistoric
Antiquities at St. Germains. Exact copies of these in plaster, as well
as several carved bones, may however be seen at the British Museum;
and during the last year the national collection has been greatly
enriched by the acquisition of several beautiful specimens of cave
carvings from the collection of M. Pecadeau de l’Isle.

[6] It is curious that there are no remains in Scandinavia which can
with certainty be called palæolithic. It would seem as though during
this era the countries remained too cold for habitation.
