iuid was foniid on lot 42, LysaiHlcr, west of 1 lie village of Phoenix 

 and Oswego river. The socket is short and the flanges rather 

 low. 



Fig. 48 is in the same collection, bnt came from near the Bay 

 of Qninte, on the north shore of Lake Ontario. The finder 

 nnfortnnately had ground down all irregularities. It is flat on 

 one side, ridged on the other, with a S(|uare base. The llanges 

 are parallel and much contracted and the socket is depressed, 

 meeting the blade at a right angle. 



Fig. G7 is a long and rather rude spear of this type, in the 

 Kellogg collection at Plattsburg X. Y. where it was found. The 

 socket is short and nearly as wide as the blade, with parallel 

 incurved flanges. This kind of socket was used at a later day. 



Fig. 06 is in the Kellogg collection, and was found at Clinton- 

 ville in Clinton county. The general form is good but it seems 

 unfinished. What should be the point has a broad protuberance 

 and we might expect the removal of this in a perfect article. 

 The shank is narrow and well worked, but is rounded at the end. 



Fig. ijl is from the Martin collection in Plattsburg and was 

 found about 2 miles northeast of that place on a sandy ridge at 

 the head of Cumberland bav. Mr Martin's account follows:

The ridge referred to is wooded and was originally a long 

 tongue of land between the bay and a river known as ' the creek,' 

 whose course was artificially changed some 50 years ago. This 

 implement shows lamination at the base. It is somewhat 

 weathered and is green on most of the surface. A cross section 

 is a square, except for about an inch from the point, where it is 

 round." He called it a borer or awl and it may be compared with 

 Mr Frey's shorter awl in fig. 17. This is very large beside that, 

 being 7^ inches long. It is a rare form in Xew York and the 

 finest yet reported. The writer is much indebted to Mr Kellogg 

 and Mr Martin for figures of their fine articles. 



After describing the foregoing the writer obtained a few other 

 illustrations from various parts of Xew York. For some of these 

 he is indebted to Mr C. C. Willoughby, assistant curator of the 

 Peabodv museum, Cambridge Mass. Fig. 171 is a native copper
