Rh this kind, in the Stockholm Museum, is engraved the spirited representation of a deer. In one instance, an axe has been made from the ulna of a whale. Lindenschmit has engraved several of stag's horn, principally from Hanover. They occur also in France. Beads and buttons of bone have been found with early interments; but the curious bone objects discovered in a pit at Leicester, and in the caves at Settle, Yorkshire, belong apparently to too recent a period to be here discussed. A kind of bone chisel has remained in use until recent times for the purpose of removing the bark from oak-trees for the supply of tanners. Some beads and ornaments formed of bone will be mentioned in a subsequent chapter.
