Fig. 5 is also reduced, and the lateral edges peanut con- 
tract. It is 7f inches long with a medial width of 1% inches. 
The cutting edge extends to a central point and the bevel to the

ridge commences almost at the flat surface, which is the one” 
shown. The first owner unfortunately filed down most of the 
rough ridges on one side of the back. It was found on the | 
farm of B. C. Case, north of Lake Neatawantha and toward 
Oswego river, near Oswego Falls. It is now in the Bigelow col- | 
lection. The bevel at the point is more abrupt than usual. 
Fig. 9 is another fine celt in the same collection, which em- 
braces a large proportion of the native copper articles illus-— 
trated here. It was found by Mr Charles Woods on his farm, ) 
about 3 miles due east of Baldwinsville N. Y. lot 82, Lysander. _ 
This was in April 1878. The hard ridges are black, appearing — 
mostly on the flat side, where a narrow central one extends from | 
end toend. The under surface is ridged as usual and it is some-_ | 
what pointed at both ends, the cutting edge being almost rect- 
angular in the center. The extreme length is nearly 7 inches, i 
the greatest width 14 inches and the thickness 4 inch. Below 
the center the sides are nearly parallel as far as the cutting — 
edge and most of the small ridges are toward that end. | 
lig. 10 was in the collection of Mr Albert Hopkins of Phoenix, 
but its present abode is unknown. It was found in Oswego 
county in 1878 and has undergone some filing, witheut seriously 
affecting its character. On the flat surface represented the 
hard, longitudinal ridges are unchanged. The expanded. and 
rounded edge on this side is slightly hollowed like a shallow 
gouge. The back is rounded, not distinctly ridged. The ex: 
treme length is 54 inches, medial width 1 inch, width of edge 
1; inches and thickness 2 inch. 3 3 
Fig. 53 is a parallel aibed copper celt in the collection of Mr 
John Martin, Plattsburg N. Y. It was found on the Jones farm 
2 miles north of that place. The surface is beveled toward each 
end, moderately sharpened at one, and is weathered and greel : 
It weighs 74 ounces. The owner says: “One end was pounded 
by a hammer, which shows that one end was lapped.” F
