flaring.  The  central  projection  and  the  ornamentation  on  these  two 
specimens  are  typically  Punuk. 
From  this  we  come  to  the  dominant,  or  later,  Punuk  form,  that  of 
a  trident,  as  illustrated  in  plate  68,  figures  1-5.  Figures  i,  2,  and  5 
are  from  levoghiyoq ;  figures  i  and  2  are  both  from  cut  4,  depth  31 
inches,  figure  5  from  cut  5,  depth  24  inches.  There  are  also  two  frag- 
ments— pieces  of  wings — from  cut  6,  depth  36  inches,  and  cut  8, 
depth  13  inches.  Figures  3  and  4  were  purchased  from  the  Eskimos 
and  are  said  to  have  come  from  Seklowaghyaget.  The  sockets  on  all 
of  these  are  perfectly  round,  about  1.2  cm  in  diameter  and  2.1  to  3.2 
cm  deep,  and  there  are  no  lashing  holes.  A  piece  of  the  wooden  handle 
or  shaft  remains  in  place  on  the  broken  specimen,  plate  68,  figure  5. 
The  central  projection  is  rather  prominent,  being  of  approximately 
the  same  length  as  the  wings,  and  at  the  end  is  the  shallow  pit  that 
is  always  present,  both  on  the  Old  Bering  Sea  and  Punuk  forms.  The 
wings  are  much  narrower  than  formerly  and  are  homologous  to  the 
inner  wings  of  the  Old  Bering  Sea  type,  which  were  visible  only  on 
the  back  side.  The  flaring  outer  wings,  which  were  so  prominent  on 
the  Old  Bering  Sea  pieces  and  which  gave  them  their  beautiful  sym- 
metry, are  greatly  reduced  and  appear  only  in  the  form  of  small  tri- 
angular projections  at  the  base.  On  plate  68,  figure  4,  even  this  vestige 
of  the  outer  wings  has  been  lost. 
The  incised  designs  on  these  five  specimens  are  all  generally  similar 
in  arrangement.  All  are  to  be  classed  as  Punuk  style  2,  mainly  because 
of  the  deep,  sharply  cut  lines;  plate  68,  figures  1-3  and  5,  have  the 
lines,  dots  and  compass-made  circles  characteristic  of  phase  2  of  style 
2,  whereas  figure  4  with  its  straight,  short  cross  lines,  falls  into  phase  4. 
Plate  68,  figures  7  and  8,  are  two  objects  which,  though  wingless, 
are  genetically  related  to  the  above.  Both  were  purchased  from  the 
Eskimos  who  had  excavated  them  at  Seklowaghyaget.  They  appear 
to  be  late  forms — probably  the  latest — of  the  winged-trident  objects, 
which  have  completely  lost  the  wings  but  retained  the  thickened  body 
and  central  projecting  element.  The  basal  socket  and  the  ojipositc 
notch  are  identical  with  those  described  above.  Figure  7  is  decorated 
in  phase  4  of  Punuk  style  2. 
Plate  68,  figure  6  (from  Seklowaghyaget,  purchased)  represents 
another  Punuk  variant  of  the  "  winged  "  object,  several  of  which  have 
been  described  previously  (Collins,  1929,  pi.  10,  c-d,  e;  Hrdlicka, 
1930,  pi.  23,  b).  Here  again  we  have  the  cylindrical  basal  socket  and 
upper  notch,  but  the  wings,  instead  of  rising  free,  are  attached  at  the 
top  to  the  upright  central  element.  It  has  vestigial  outer  wings — small 
triangular  projections  along  the  sides — just  as  in  the  case  of  plate  68, 
figures  1-3  and  5.    The  surface  decoration  of  deeply  incised  lines — ■
