Fi^. 31 is a fine spearhead found on the Randall farm near 

 Sarato^ia lake and now in the state museum. The base is 

 sleuder and pointed and the whole implement is narrow for its 

 lenjrth, which is 72 inches. 



Fig:. 52 is in the collection of John Martin, Plattsburg, who 

 sars: ''It was found when the new road was constructed past 

 the United States army post at Plattsburg some 15 years ago. 

 The place was on the right bank of the Saranac river some J mile 

 from the mouth.'' It is slightly ridged but is thin for its length, 

 which is 6 Hf inches. The shank is obtuse and it is moderately 

 shouldered. Corrosion has turned it green. Mr Martin fur- 

 nished fine photographs of his copper articles. 



Three flat spearheads in the Waterbury collection and found 

 together on the north side of the river at Brewertou, are of 

 unusual character, and may be comparatively recent. No 

 analysis of the metal has been made. They are quite flat, and 

 are deeply notched at their broad bases, even more than one 

 already mentioned. Fig. 71 shows one of these. There are a 

 few striae, and the edges are shai'p and beveled. The general 

 appearance suggests a recent origin, with some jn'cuiiar fca 

 tures, but no age has been claimed for or assigned to them. 

 Fig. 43 and 45 are the other two. 



Fig. 20 is thus far unique in New York, though found spar- 

 ingly elsewhere. It is a thick gouge, 2| inches long by 2 {>; broad, 

 having the sides turned into (Contracting flanges. The liack is 

 curved and the cutting edge abruptly beveled. It was found 

 on the left side of the road from Port Bvrou to Howland island
