NO.    I  ARCHEOLOGY    OF    ST.    LAWRENCE    ISLAND — COLLINS  I4I 
in  this  connection  that  one  of  the  three  sinkers  from  the  Hillside  site 
was  of  this  type. 
Type  I  a  (pi.  36,  figs.  5,  6). — An  extreme  form  of  type  i,  with  the 
characteristic  side  bulge  accentuated  and  the  upper  end  very  long 
and  slender. 
Two  examples  were  found:  Cut  4,  48  inches  (pi.  36,  fig.  6)  and 
cut  13,  20  inches  (pi.  36,  fig.  5).  The  upper  end  of  figure  6  is  notched, 
as  in  the  case  of  four  examples  of  type  i  ;  in  figure  5  the  notch  is 
enlarged  so  as  to  suggest  a  fish's  tail,  and  the  line  holes  are  parallel. 
Type  2  (pi.  36,  figs.  7-9). — Thick  to  slender;  more  symmetrical 
than  type  i ;  the  side  bulge,  when  present,  is  more  centrally  placed ; 
from  this  it  grades  into  a  more  slender,  symmetrical  form,  oval  to 
almost  round  in  cross-section,  with  evenly  tapering  ends ;  line  holes 
at  right  angles. 
Twenty-two  examples,  as  follows:  Cut  6,  20  inches.  Cut  7,  51 
inches;  92  inches.  Cut  9,  depth  unknown  (pi.  36,  fig.  7).  Cut  9a, 
12  inches  (2).  Cut  10,  31  inches.  Cut  18,  27  inches  (pi.  36,  fig.  8)  ; 
60  inches.  Cut  19,  17  inches;  38  inches  (pi.  36,  fig.  9)  ;  48  inches; 
51  inches;  y2  inches.  Cut  21,  24  inches;  42  inches;  46  inches.  Cut 
23,  68  inches.  Cut  25,  96  inches.  Cut  27,  9  inches ;  22  inches.  Cut 
29,  24  inches. 
This,  the  most  common  type,  is  the  least  clear-cut,  including  forms 
as  diverse  as  plate  36,  figures  7  and  9.  However,  there  is  no  sharp 
line  dividing  them ;  from  an  asymmetrical  form  with  a  side  bulge 
which  dift'ers  from  that  of  type  i  only  in  that  it  is  nearer  the  center, 
there  is  a  gradual  transition  into  the  more  slender,  symmetrical  forms 
with  evenly  tapering  ends.  The  distribution  according  to  cut  and 
depth  (almost  all  of  them  coming  from  the  southeastern  section  of 
the  midden)  shows  it  to  be  an  old  type,  probably  contemporaneous 
with  type  i,  to  which  it  is  also  typologically  related. 
Type  3  (pi.  36,  figs.  10-12). — Thick  to  slender,  with  an  inclination 
to  flatness  ;  no  side  bulge  ;  symmetrical  or  nearly  so  ;  line  holes  parallel. 
Nine  examples,  as  follows:  Cut  3,  16  inches  (pi.  36,  fig.  12).  Cut 
8,  72  inches.  Cut  9,  depth  unknown.  Cut  18,  12  inches  (pi.  36,  fig. 
10)  ;  25  inches;  40  inches.  Cut  19,  5  inches  (pi.  36,  fig.  11).  Cut  23, 
14  inches.    Cut  25,  52  inches. 
Like  the  preceding,  this  is  a  variable  type,  the  range  of  which  is 
shown  by  the  three  specimens  figured.  Plate  36,  figure  12,  is  unusual 
in  that  the  two  line  holes  are  in  the  direction  of  the  greatest  breadth; 
in  the  eight  other  examples  of  this  type,  the  two  line  holes  are  at  right 
angles  to  the  greatest  breadth.  Judging  from  the  depth  and  distribu- 
tion, this  appears  to  have  been  another  of  the  older  types,  only  two 
examples  coming  from  the  northwestern  section.
