28 T. C. PALMER : 



the shingle — notably the largest axe and the rough maul. 

 The arrow heads and clippings mainly came from a gravelly 

 portion of the dyke itself, and were uncovered, a few at a time, 

 by heavy rains and storm tides. 



The relics arrange themselves into the following classes : — 



About no arrow heads of varying size and shape, all rea- 

 sonably perfect. 



A number of broken pieces of arrow heads, all apparently 

 parts of finished implements. 



Many worked stones, plainly rejections and failures. In 

 some cases it is easy to see the cause of failure to produce the 

 perfect dart. 



Several water-worn and weathered arrow heads and spear 

 heads. These are of argyllite, a material less resistant to 

 water and weather than quartz and jasper. 



A quantit}' of clippings or flakes, all exhibiting marks of 

 Indian workmanship. Many of these are of material not 

 native to the region. 



Several fragments of pottery, some with decorative mark- 

 ings and some showing evidences of continued use, such as a 

 greasy stratum within and a fire reddened surface without. 



A piece of a gorget, made of chlorite slate or similar rock, 

 broken through one of the holes. These holes have been 

 drilled inward from both surfaces with a conical drill, so that 

 each hole is smaller at a point midway between the two flat 

 surfaces. The gorget was originally a rough crescent. 



A scraper or flesher of jasper, of a size to be grasped in one 

 hand. It has a rounded, definitely bevelled edge. 



A pounding stone or hammer. This is in two fragments, 

 and has split along a plane of schistosity. 



Two axes and a kind of maul which would seem admirably 

 adapted to the beating out of brains. 



Beyond what is above described, other persons have found 

 in the same place several axes and about sixty arrow heads. 



There is nothing very remarkable about these relics as 

 relics. In shape and substance they afford nothing new.
