RELICS OF AX INDIAN HUNTING GROUND. 



Knives. — Fig. 35 is a curved iuid somewhat angular piece of yellow 

 and red jasper. Along its entire concave margiu is a serrated cutting 

 edge. It looks as though it had been originally a part Ox some larger 

 implement and had been rudely chipped after detachment to its present 

 shape.

The base of Fig. M is broad, concave, aud not chipiH'd. The rest of 

 its margin is cliipped to a cutting edge. Fig. 30 is a tiake of felsitic 

 rock with a somewhat blunt, serrated edge. Fig. 34 has been chipped 

 to ii remarkably good edge, with the excei)tion of the basal end and a 

 small flat area at the convex margin. By placing the foretinger on 

 this flat surface and the tliumb on the side a firm grip can be had which 

 will enable one to make excellent use of the entire concave edge. This 

 edge is decidedly tlie better of the two. We have notliing else from 

 here like this specimen, but a knif<^ of cbert, from Ohio, in our collec- 

 tion resembles it. 



Perforators. — One of these perforators, Fig. 11, of felsitic rock bears 

 unmistakable evidences of having been used to drill holes. The point 

 is worn smooth and more or less even, whilst abov(^ it, on both sides, the 

 serrated edges are sharp and angular. Figs. 38 and 39 have broad 

 bases and can be easily and firmly held between the thumb and finger. 

 The points are cylindrical and stout. Figs. 40 and -lii might have 

 answered very well for several purposes. Their shape is an excellent
