TRAXSACTIONS OF THE CAXADrAN INSTITUTE. 



[Vol. IV. 



The spear heads * in nowise differed from the bow-points, save perhaps 

 that they were generally larger in proportions and narrower at the base. 

 Herewith are shown representative specimens. Fig. 37 is, by exception^ 

 of felspathic slate. Its shape and make would suggest to the archaeologist 

 a comparison with the laurel leaf points of the so-called Solutrian epoch. 

 It is drawn full size. One of its surfaces shows hardly any trace of 

 flaking and almost perfectly flat. 



In fig. 38 we have a) type of a very different description. It lacks the 

 exquisite finish of the preceding and is double-pointed, so that the base 

 is not easily distinguished from the tip. As may be seen from the out- 

 lines of its side, its shape is far from elegant.

All of these spear heads were hafted to a pole five or six feet long 

 pretty much after the mode of connecting the arrow heads with their 

 shaft. 



* The heads of these and all missile weapons are called niintai\ The spear, shaft and point, 

 is named in Carrier ^pr-/-^^z, or "hook-staff."
