BY W. J. KNOWLES. [WITH PLATES XXXI-XXXVIII.] SEVERALsites in which stone axes have been manufactured are known in coulntyAntrini, but none of them have been carefiullyexamined. The rough unpolishedaxes fromRathlin Island are well known,anid most antiquarieshave specimensfroum that place in their collectioils. A number of axes, dressed into shape by chipping,but unipolished,had been broughtto me from time to time fronithe neighbourhoodof Clough, near Ballyinena, but I had obtained no flakes,broken axes, or anythingof the nature of a failure.
