mont, and Mr Francis Jordan jr of Philadelphia found one 
remarkable example in 1899 on the eastern shore of Maryland, 
which is about 12 inches long, ridged and angular, and with six 
notches on each side of the base. This form has not been re-— 
ported here. He found a large hoe blade of copper at the same 
time. The former is figured in the Proceedings of the Numismatic 
and antiquarian society of Philadelphia for 1890-91, p. 128.

Fig. 74 is a curious undulating spearhead obtained by Mr 
Twining in Ellisburg N.Y. There are double notches on each 
side of the base and the undulating edges are suggestive of 
some Scandinavian weapons. It is quite slender for its length, 
being 7} inches long with a maximum width of 3 inch near the 
base, which terminates in a sharp point. Those found near the ~ 
Seneca river often end in this way. 
Fig. 35 is a very fine example from the latter region, now in 
the Bigelow collection. It is one of those drawn by the writer 4 
for Dr Abbott’s Primitive industry, and was found on the Crego 
farm, just west of Baldwinsville and south of the river, near 
but not on an early fort site. The writer afterward found a — 
small native copper bead there. The flat side is slightly con- 
cave, giving the implement a decidedly curved appearance. The 
present length is 7} inches, but the basal point has been slightly 4 
broken. The extreme width is a little over 14 inches. There © 
is a basal notch on each edge for attachment. Each side of 
the longitudinal ridge is moderately hollowed, and the usual — 
raised lines appear, the whole implement suggesting a rough — 
casting, an appearance now known to be deceptive. | : 
Fig. 31 is also in the Bigelow cabinet and was found on the 
Judge Voorhees farm, lot 74, Lysander, in 1875. It has a 
pointed base, but no notches, and is but slightly ridged. The 
blade is much thinner than the general base, a common feature 
with this form. A smaller similar one was found near Beaver 
lake, about 2 miles northeast of the last locality. This has 
disappeared. | 
Fig. 27 is in the same collection and much like the last. it 
was found in uprooting a large tree in the town of Hannibal 
in 1878-79. |
