Note 6 — ANDREW LANG (continued 5)
Reading edition
The evidence for Australian slate spear-heads is not strong. Capt. King acquired a bundle of bark in a raid on natives. It contained 'several, spear-heads, most ingeniously and curiously made of stone ... the stone was covered with red pigment, and appeared to be of a flinty slate.'—See The Picture of Australia, p. 243. London, 1829.
