Abstract

Amongst the various and more or less well-defined types
of Tasmanian stone implements which have been engaging
the attention of students for some time past, there are two distinct and decidedly specialised forms which stand out
conspicuously from all the others as having been fabricated
for certain definite purposes.
In the following notes they will be termed respectively
Spokeshaves and Borees, and it is proposed with the help of
two or three plates to give a short description of several
series which are fairly representative of the types.
