METALLIC IMPLEMENTS OF NEW YORK INDIANS ak 
Fig. 26 is a rough native copper spear with an obtuse point, 
possibly broken or unfinished. It is in the Smithsonian collec- 
tion and came from Malta N. Y., west of Saratoga lake. 
Fig. 25 is in the same collection, and came from Livingston 
county, N. Y. The base is not pointed and the implement sug- 
gests both the knife and spear. It is slightly rounded, and there 
are no basal notches. 
Fig. 32 is in the Bigelow collection, and was found on R. Adsit’s 
farm, lot 76, Lysander, north side of the river road and 
toward Beaver lake. Several copper implements have been 
found near there. This is a small form, flat on on side and 
rounded on the other. There is a notch on each side toward the 
pointed base. It is hardly 3% inches long but is neatly finished. 
Fig. 50 is a thin copper spearhead found half a mile east of 
Onondaga creek, and nearly a mile south of Hast Onondaga 
village, beside an old Indian trail. It is ridged on one side and 
has a deep notch on each edge near the base. The base is 
obtusely pointed. It is but 33 inches long, and the edges are 
- nearly parallel and quite sharp. It was found in 1894 by Mr 
George Slocum, its present owner, and is slightly twisted as a 
whole. 
Fig. 49 has the outline of a pointed ellipse, rather obtuse at 
the base. One edge has one notch and the other two for attach- 
ment. It would have answered well for a knife and is as long 
as the last. It was found in the town of Venice, Cayuga co. in 
— 1886. 
Fig. 44 is another of these small spears, much thicker than 
the last two. It has a pointed base and opposite notches which 
are nearly midway in the edges. This was found on the north 
_ shore of Oneida lake June 12, 1886, on a point east of Big bay. 
The writer visited the spot afterward and found arrowheads 
and drills. The finder was Mr White of Geddes, then superin- 
_tendent of schools, who soon disposed of it. It is not so dis. 
- tinctly ridged as some, but has the usual protuberances. The 
length is 3 inches. —
