HARPOON-HEADS. 



55 



lake-men used harpoons with detachable heads ; but they may nevertheless have 

 employed them. 



The armatures thus far desmbed exhibit only a single barb ; in Fig. 60 a 

 series of unilateral barbs is seen. The specimen, made of deer-horn, was 

 found at Concise.'" 



Passing over to harpoon-like armatures Avith bilateral barbs, I give in Fio-. 

 61 the representation of a specimen of deer-horn, found at Wauwyl. It shows 

 three sharply-cut barbs on each side, and appears to be of a flatfish form.f
