in figure 272). The same form comes from Dougherty county, south- 

 western Georgia, as well as from Savannah. 



H. Straight or convex edges; base straight or slightly convex; stem 

 to one side of the center, leaving one barb longer and larger than the 

 other (figure 273). 



/. Triangular, notched iu from the bottom; , 

 barbs extend down even with the base, or the 

 base is sometimes worked bacli, leaving it shortt i 

 than the barbs; some are beveled (figure 274). TIic 

 same form is found in southwestern Georgia. 



J. Broad; straight edges; base straight or 

 concave; stem straight or expanding; long, 



rounded barbs ( figure 275 ). 

 K. From Arkansas county, 



Arkansas, there is an imple- 

 ment of basanite or black 



jasper, of the general type of 



figure 180 or 182, the point 



being broken oft". The base 



has been worked down to a 



.sharp edge, the stem highly 



polished on both faces. This 

 polish does not extend to the faces of the blade, but both edges are 

 rubbed smooth so far as they now extend. Whether the implement was 

 originally pointed and used as a knife or spear, this sharp edge being 

 given the stem after it was broken, or whether it was so made in the first 

 place, can not be determined. Like the various forms with polished 

 base, the specimen seems to indicate a manner of mounting or of use 

 the reverse of what would be expected. It is shown in figure 27(J.

Figure 277 shows an implement from Licking county, Ohio, some- 

 what of the form of figure 205, except that it is wider and much 

 thinner. It is worn smooth on each edge for % inch from the point, the 

 point itself being quite blunt. This probably results from use as a 

 knife or drill; though, if due to the latter cause, the material on which
