tersunk perforation to be observed on several specimens in this collec- 

 tion. 



Length, 6^ inches ; width, 4^ inches. 



Fig. 40. A doable edged blade of rich brown color. The butt is large 

 and irregularly- rounded. The lateral notches are deep and long, giving 

 to the object the contour of a shoe-sole. The curved sides approach each 

 other, reducing the edge to a very narrow line. The faces, indeed, are 

 continuous, but this is the only mark in common with its predecessors. 

 The following examples in this section will all exhibit striking individ- 

 ualities. 



Length, 6^ inches ; greatest width, 3 inches ; width of neck, 1^ inches. 





Fig. 41. A long and slender blade, of light brown color. Indeed, we 

 have here something like a true northwest coast adze. The butt is 

 wedge-shaped. The hafting space consists of a shallow notch on either 

 side and a groove along one side. The faces are flatfish and the sides 

 are so inclined as to give a slight curve to the whole blade. 



Length, 6^ inches; width, 1^ inches. 



Fig. 42. 



Fig. 4-. A blade of reddish brown color. It is long, narrow, hollowed 

 on one side, and slightly notched on the other. It resembles Fig. 41, but 

 it is more graceful and brighter colored. 



Length, 6f^g inches ; width, 1^ inches ; notch, 1 yV inches from the top. 



Fig. 43. A two-edged blade, of dark brown color. This object needs 

 only a pierced cylindrical short axis to bring it into formal relationship 

 with the North American ceremonial tomahawks. 



Length, 2 -^ inches.
