Fig. 337. Long flat celt-like chisel of argillite, attached to a roughly worked cylindrical handle 

 by a thong of twisted raw-hide. The handle is provided with a shoulder against 

 which the stone rests. The tool evidently was used in connection with a mallet, as 

 indicated by the battered upper end, which is, moreover, confined by a ring of 

 twisted spruce-roots (Vancouver s Island). 



Fig. 338. Celt-shaped chisel of argillite, strongly bound with a strip of leather to a carved 

 handle of peculiar form (Vancouver s Island). 



Fig. 339. Chipped flint scraper, partly enveloped in buckskin, and bound by means of a raw-hide 

 thong to a hook-shaped ornamented handle of elk-horn (Mandans). 



Fig. 340. Tool used in chipping stone arrow-points, perforators, etc. It consists of a slender 

 blunt piece of deer-horn, bound with cotton cord to a wooden rod about the thick 

 ness of an arrow-shaft (Indians of Nevada Territory).
