they are not well finighed, and occa- 

 sionally large cannonball-like stones are 

 found which can not be properly classed 

 with the smaller polished objects. The 

 base of the hemispheres is flat, rarely 

 slightly hollowed out, and varies from a 

 circle to a decided ellipse, while the ver- 

 tical section departs considerably from a 

 true semicircle. Typical objects of this 

 group are most plentiful in the middle 

 Ohio valley. It is surmised that they 

 served in playing some game, as talismans 

 or charms, or for some special shaman- 

 istic purpose. According to Grinnell 

 (inf'n, 1906) small balls of stone are still 

 used by some Plains tribes in a game. 

 Little girls roll them on the ice in winter, 

 trying to move a small stick resting on 

 the ice in front of the opposing party, 

 perhaps 20 ft distant. If the stick is 

 touched and moved, the 

 side which rolls the ball 

 may roll it again, and a 

 point is counted. If the 

 stick is not moved, theliall

 A small stone sphere was used by the 

 Pima f)f Arizona in a kicked ball game, 

 and numerous small spheres, usually of 

 soft stone, are found in prehistoric ruins 

 in Salt river valley of the same territory.

Henaggi. An Athapascan tribe or band 

 residing, according to Powers (Cont. N.

 A treaty was made with them Aug. 17,

 they were related, but this hostility was 

 probably only a temporary feud. They 

 are seemingly extinct.

 at the request of Gen. Johnson, joined the 

 English army, which met 2,000 French 

 under Gen. Dieskau at Lake George, N. Y.
