ABORIGINAL REMAINS.—PIERS. OG 
I have deviated slightly from the plan of that work in order to 
meet the requirements of the case. Many specimens, set down 
as arrow-heads, may have been hafted and used as cutting 
tools, while others may have been small spear-heads. Con- 
sidering, however, the fact that it is impossible to draw a 
distinction between a large arrow-head and a small spear- 
head, or, in many cases, to distinguish a cutting implement from 
either of the above, I have decided to classify them all as either 
arrow, or spear-heads, Those above 3.85 inches in length I 
designate by the latter name; those below 3 inches by the 
former. 
I. STONE. 
A, FLAKED AND CHIPPED STONE. 
Raw Material.—In a small collection of various articles from 
Starr's Point, Kings Co., are three or four large fragments 
of agate and jasper, which were evidently intended to be worked 
into implements. 
Flakes—The collection contains a beautiful series of chips 
from Bachmann’s Beach, Lunenburg County. They were pre- 
sented by Mr. Lewis Anderson. The materials are agates, jaspers, 
porphyrites, &c. They were produced during the manufacture of 
the succeeding implements. Some of these flakes could be, and 
possibly were, used as primitive cutting tools, and scrapers for 
rounding and finishing articles of wood and bone. 
Unfinished Arrow and Spear-heads—Thin, neatly chipped, 
and regularly shaped specimens are doubtless unfinished spear or 
arrow-heads. They are convex-sided with a truncated base. 
Before me is a series showing the transition from the incomplete, 
to the finished weapon. Here is the truncated convex-sided im- 
plement. Next, we have another of the same form, but with 
one side notched. And lastly, the complete arrow-head notched 
on both sides. Omitting the notches, the form in each is 
precisely the same. 
Arrow-heads.—These are the most abnndant aboriginal relics
