tion. Fig. 160 is a copper arrow with angularly indented base, 

 and is in the same cabinet. It was from the Xellis fni'in near 

 Palatine (Mmrch, and with it is a larger one with sliglitly in- 

 dented base. Fig. 164 is a triangular brass arrowliead from the 

 Sheldon fort, Pompej. This is not large, and the ]»ase is con- 

 vex. Fig. 5S is from the same site and like the last. 



Fig. 149 is another triangular arrowhead from Indian hill, 

 Poinpev. It has a central perforation and an indented base. 

 Fig. 150 is from the same site and is similar except in having a 

 straight base. Fig. 152 is a large triangular arrowhead, one 

 edge of which is convex. The perforation is central. It is from 

 Happy hollow, west of Canajoharie. Fig. 153 is a narrow trian- 

 gular arrowhead from Indian hill, Pompey. The base is slightly 

 convex. 



Fig. 86 is a very neat little brass arrowhead, found near 

 Oneida lake, and of unusual form. There are slis^ht notches in 

 the lateral edges of the sloping base and the cutting edges are 

 a little convex. 



Fig. 151 is of quite a different type. There is a short stem 

 with an expanded base, and the shoulders are almost barbs. 

 The lateral edges are beveled and sharp and there are several 

 long incisions on the flat surface. The point is broadly rounded, 

 and it mav be one of the later steel arrowheads. It is in the 

 collection of the Onondaga historical association, but without 

 locality. Fig. 54 has a similar base, is of iron or steel, and not 

 unlike the last in general character. It is beveled from the 

 center and there is a large perforation on each side above the 

 shoulders. The edges of these have been hammered down. It 

 was found; at Baldwinsville in 1880 and is in the Hamill collec- 

 tion. Fig. 184 is a fine and curious iron arrowhead, with 

 notches. It is in the Coats collection and from the Onaghee 

 site. 



There is another class of recent copper arrowheads barely 

 separated from ornaments. A triangular and rather long piece
