comes from Seneca river, where many of this form have been col- 

 lected. Fig. 90 is another neat little arrow-head from Onondaga 

 lake. It' is of light brownish drab flint, one and one eighth inches 

 long. It has a wide base, and is almost barbed. Fig. 91 is a rare and 

 beautiful form of the angular arrow-heads with parallel lateral edges. 

 It is quite deeply notched, and differs from those already figured in 

 the graceful concave sweep of the broad base. This unique article, 

 of dark flint, and about one and one quarter inches long, was found 

 at Newark Valley, Tioga county. 



Fig. 92 is a small beveled arrow of dark flint, from the west shore 

 of Cross lake, and is waterworn. Many articles are found in this 

 condition in streams and on shores. This has a stem broadly in- 

 dented on three sides, and is of unusual form for an article of this 

 description. It is one and three eighths inches in length, and like all 

 of its class, might easily be considered a form of scraper. 



Fig. 93 has also a concave base, but much narrower. It is shoul- 

 dered, and has a finely serrate edge, of irregular outline. The form 

 is that of many Ohio specimens, and it is of a dark flint, one and 

 one half inches long. It was found near Three River Point. Fig. 94 

 shows a very neat and unusual form of the notched base arrows, but 

 it has the three conspicuous concavities which mark the last two 

 examples. The point is broadly rounded, and while the length is but 

 little over an inch, the width is seven eighths of an inch, from point 

 to point. It is of common flint, and was found at Newark Valley. 

 Fig. 95 is classed as an arrow-head, but is much like the flints so often 

 found in caches, although smaller than most of these. It is of a light 

 brownish grey flinty limestone, and is quite thin and sharp. The 

 length is two and three eighths inches, and it was found on the Seneca 

 river. Although this form, being symmetrical, is popularly classed 

 with the arrows, its proper place seems to be among the knives. 



Fig. 96 is a pretty stemmed and shouldered arrow-head of red 

 jasper, from Baldwinsville, and is but little over one and one half 

 inches in length. While articles of yellow jasper are quite frequent 

 in New York, those of red jasper are rare, and sometimes, even then, 

 the color may have been changed by heat. Fig. 97 has much the 

 same outline, but is distinctly grooved at the base. It is a fine
