58 PECKED, GROUND AND POLISHED STON^. 



Thoiigli perhaps not exactly in the right place, we would here mention a 

 specimen of the collection, which was evidently employed in the manufacture 

 of moccasins, being, in fact, a stone brought to the shape of a last, such as 

 shoemakers use. This specimen, consisting of greenstone, was obtained in 

 Arizona; but similar stone lasts also occur in the eastern parts of the United 

 States. There is one in the collection of the Antiquarian Society at Wor- 

 cester, Massachusetts, and the writer has seen specimens of the same char- 

 acter in Missouri and New Jersey.
