of gradine (to check the down strokes going too far) 

This side of the rough stone was considerably higher then the other so it was necessary to use the point, cutting in from edge, (to benefit of greatest resistance of the stone) - before resorting to gradine and boucharde  - (second side of back evened without recourse to boucharde - [[?]].) Next move indicated, was to rough remaining part of back (bumpy centre) with much use of point before the gradine, so that whole back surface should be one smooth slauting down plane. Ahead gives aspect of seated frog.

Transcription Notes:
'boucharde' is french for 'bush hammer'
