have been found at Grovehurst,[1] near Milton, Kent, and I have picked up a specimen near Kit's Coty House. I have seen specimens found at Redhill, near Reigate;[2] near Bournemouth; at Prince Town, Dartmoor; and near Oundle; besides the localities already mentioned.

Typical lozenge-shaped arrow-heads are, in Britain, and, indeed, in other countries, rarer than the leaf-shaped. That shown in Fig. 296 has been made from a flat flake, and is nicely chipped on both faces, though not quite straight longitudinally. It was found at Northdale Farm, Grindale, Bridlington. A Scottish specimen, from Urquhart,[3] Elginshire, slightly smaller, has been figured. The original of Fig. 297 forms part of the Greenwell Collection, and has been made from a very thin, transparent flake. It is rather less worked on the face opposite to that here shown. It was found at Newton Ketton, Durham. One like Fig. 297 was found on Bull Hill,[4] Lancashire. A regularly-chipped arrow-head of lozenge shape is said to have been found at Cutterly Clump, Wilts;[5] and I have seen a few specimens from Derbyshire. Those from the Calais Wold Barrow have already been mentioned.
Figs. 298 and 299.—Yorkshire Wolds.
A diamond-shaped arrow-head was found at Cregneesh,[6] Isle of Man; and another, as well as one of leaf shape, within a stone circle near Port Erin.[7] Lozenge-shaped arrow-heads are frequently found in Scotland.
A more elongated form is shown in Figs. 298 and 299, taken from specimens found on the Yorkshire Wolds. Both of them are neatly chipped on either face, and have but little left of the original surface of the flakes from which they were formed. One of the shorter sides of Fig. 299 is somewhat hollowed, possibly to give a slight shoulder, and thus prevent its being driven into the shaft.
This is more evidently the case with the arrow-head represented in- ↑ Arch. Cant., vol. xiii. p. 124.
