The after |iiics ot'al! arrows e\ee]itone wereof reindeer antler, which 

 is aiiotherieasciii tor siipiiosiiii; that this form of arrow isa nioditication 

 of the deer arrow. Atler tlie introduction of iron, this metal or copper 

 was substituted tor the llint pile of the kuki'ksadliu, making the third 

 and last form of bear arr<i\v. the sa'vhllifi ("fitted with iron"). This 

 arrow ditfers from the others only in the form of the pile, which is gen- 

 erally broad and tiat, and either rhomboidal, with the base cut into 

 imiiierous small teeth, or else triangular, with a shank. The barbs are 

 nsiially bilateral. 



No. TliT.jH [-•"i], from Nuwfik, represents the tirst tVu'in. The jrile is 

 of iron, rough and tiat, I'i inches long. Ko. 72770 [l3J:l/>], from Utki- 

 avwin, is of the same form. No. 727(30 [105], Fig. ISGc, from Utkia-vwiii, 

 has a similar pih^ 3-3 inches long, but has each of the under edges cut 

 into four sharp, backward-pointing teeth. No. 7277S [234/*], Fig. ISGd,

Nos. 727.").") [2.-)], from Nuwuk, 727.")!! [2.'.], alsoli'om Nuwuk, and 72704 

 [lO.")], from rtkiavwin, show the shanked form. The first is triangular, 

 with a Hat shank and a simple barb at each angle of the base. It is of 

 steel (])iece of a saw) and 2-.S inches long. The .second resembles No. 

 727(iO [10."")], with more teeth, mounted on a slender cyliiidiical shank 1| 

 inches long. It is of iron and .Ml inches long. The third is a long pile 

 with a sinuate outline and one pair of simple bilateral barbs, and a flat 

 shank one-half inch hmg. No.s. 72757 [25] (Fig. 1806) and 72762 [25], both 

 from Xinvtik, are i)eeiiliar in being the only iron-pointed arrows with un- 

 ilateral barbs. The piles are made of the two blades of apair of large scis- 

 sors, cut olfat the piiiiit, with enough of the handle left, to make a tang. 

 The uuilatcial barb is tiled out on the back of the blade, which has been 

 beveled ilown on both faces to a sharp edge. All of these broadheaded 

 arrows iiave the breadth of the pile at right angles to the i)lane of the 

 nock, sho\nng that they are not meant to tly like the Sioux war arrows.
