FIGS. 227-229. Harpoon-heads of bone and deer-horn. 



Fig. 227. This harpoon-head, figured by Mr. E. Gr. Squier, shows two well- 

 defined unilateral barbs, and farther below two opposite notches for attaching the 

 line which connected it with the shaft. It is said to have been made of the ulna 

 of a deer. Found in Livingstone County, New York.* I am unable to state 

 where this specimen is preserved. 



Fig. 228. A well-worked, flattened bone point with three barbs on one side. 

 The lower end is damaged. Obtained by Mr. J. G. Swan, with another specimen 

 of nearly the same form, and likewise broken at the lower extremity, from a 

 shell-heap on Puget Sound, Washington Territory. 



Fig. 229. The figure is made after a drawing by the Rev. W. M. Beau- 

 champ. It represents a deer-horn harpoon with a good point and a number of 

 partly damaged barbs on one side. The lower extremity terminates in a blunt 

 point. The original, in possession of Mr. Otis M. Bigelow, of Baldwinsville, 

 Onondaga County, New York, was found in an Indian grave, excavated in gravel, 

 at Lock's Reefs, near Elbridge, Onondaga County. This grave contained two 

 other harpoon-heads, to which reference will be made.
