METALLIC IMPLEMENTS OF NEW YORK INDIANS oo 
Fig. 57 is in the same cabinet and was found at Schuyler 
: Falls. It has a long broad shank, is distinctly shouldered, and 
quite irregular in outline. 
Fig. 59 was found at Plattsburg and is in the Kellogg collec- 
tion. It is distinctly ridged and has a notch on each edge near 
the base. The latter is obtusely pointed. 
Fig. 16 closely resembles the last but is much larger. It was 
drawn by Mr Grider from a fine spearhead belonging to Mr W. B. 
Murphy of Schoharie county. 
Fig. 34 is a fine spearhead found on the Pp aail farm near 
Saratoga lake and now in the state museum. The base is 
slender and pointed and the whole implement is narrow for its 
length, which is 7} inches. 
Fig. 52 is in the collection of John Martin, Plattsburg, who 
says: “It was found when the new road was constructed past 
the United States army post at Plattsburg some 15 years ago. 
‘The place was on the right bank of the Saranac river some $ mile 
from the mouth.” It is slightly ridged but is thin for its length, 
which is 6-2; inches. The shank is obtuse and it is moderately 
shouldered. Corrosion has turned it green. Mr Martin fur- 
-nished fine photographs of his copper articles. 
Three flat spearheads in the Waterbury collection and found 
together on the north side of the river at Brewerton, are of 
unusual character, and may be comparatively recent. No 
analysis of the metal has been made. They are quite flat, and 
are deeply notched at their broad bases, even more than one 
already mentioned. Fig. 71 shows one of these. There are a 
few striae, and the edges are sharp and beveled. The general 
appearance suggests a recent origin, with some peculiar fea- 
tures, but no age has been claimed for or assigned to them. 
Fig. 48 and 45 are the other two. 
Fig. 20 is thus far unique in New hi though found spar- 
ingly elsewhere. It is a thick gouge, 2? inches long by 2 ;3 broad, 
having the sides turned into Sehieeictiais flanges. The back is 
curved and the cutting edge abruptly beveled. It was found 
on the left side of the road from Port Byron to Howland island
