58 PECKED, GROUND AND POLISHED STOKE. 



Though 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 K&quot;ew Jersey.
