316 MISCELLANEOUS INVESTIGATION IN FLORIDA. 
Fig. 32 represents a fractional part of a massive Fuleur perversum, of a type 
similar to that shown in Fig. 37 of our previous report, where a hole to the right, 
and a notch to the left, of the axis, enabled a handle to pass behind it. In this 
case, however, an additional perforation, much worn, behind the axis, is present, 
and probably corresponded with a hole since broken away through use. When 
this happened, presumably, the use of the hole back of the axis was abandoned, 
and a new hole to the right and a notch to the left were added. This implement, 
which was found on Russell’s key, Ten Thousand islands, probably served as a hoe.

In Fig. 33 is given а Fulgur perversum from Marco, showing the usual removal 
of part of the body-whorl back from the edge of the aperture. There is a small 
hole above the shoulder, or periphery, which seems, as a rule, to have had no con- 
nection with the tool, inasmuch as numbers of shells, not made into implements, 
show a similar perforation, which may have been made to sever the muscle and 
free the shell-fish from its shell. The feature of this particular implement is two 
small, circular holes, side by side, in the back of the shell, facing the notch in
