[92] E. B. Tylor notes that the savage is often skilled in map-making as a form of picture-writing (op. cit. p. 90), and quotes Prescott for the existence of maps in Peru before Europeans reached South America (Prescott, Peru, i. 116). Ancient maps or books like “rolled up palm leaves” (Ratzel, ii. 169).

[96] Keane tells of the Mojos valley natives that so uncommon is stone in that district that if a man set out on a journey to the uplands where stone is procurable he would be asked to bring some back as a curiosity (Keane, p. 12). For some use of stone implements of the past still employed among present-day peoples, see Mitchell, Past in the Present, p. 12, etc.; Routledge, With a Neolithic People; Spencer and Gillen, Native Tribes of Central Australia, pp. 592-4, etc.; Skeat and Blagden, Pagan Races of the Malay Peninsula, i. 242, 296.
