METALLIC IMPLEMENTS OF NEW YORK INDIANS 37 
and was found on lot 42, Lysander, west of the village of Phoenix 
and Oswego river. The socket is short and the flanges rather 
low. 
Fig. 48 is in the same collection, but came from near the Bay 
of Quinte, on the north shore of Lake Ontario. The finder 
unfortunately had ground down all irregularities. It is flat on 
one side, ridged on the other, with a square base. The flanges 
are parallel and much contracted and the socket is depressed, 
meeting the blade at a right angle. 
Fig. 67 is a long and rather rude spear of this type, in the 
Kellogg collection at Plattsburg N. Y. where it was found. The 
socket is short and nearly as wide as the blade, with parallel 
incurved flanges. This kind of socket was used at a later day. 
Fig. 66 is in the Kellogg collection, and was found at Clinton- 
ville in Clinton county. The general form is good but it seems 
unfinished. What should be the point has a broad protuberance 
and we might expect the removal of this in a perfect article. 
The shank is narrow and well worked, but is rounded at the end. 
Fig, 51 is from the Martin collection in Plattsburg and was 
found about 2 miles northeast of that place on a sandy ridge at 
the head of Cumberland bay. Mr Martin’s account follows: 
“The ridge referred to is wooded and was originally a long 
tongue of land between the bay and a river known as ‘ the creek,’ 
whose course was artificially changed some 50 years ago. This 
implement shows lamination at the base. It is somewhat 
weathered and is green on most of the surface. A cross section 
is a Square, except for about an inch from the point, where it is 
round.” He called it a borer or awl and it may be compared with 
Mr Frey’s shorter awl in fig. 17. This is very large beside that, 
being 7§ inches long. It is a rare form in New York and the 
finest yet reported. The writer is much indebted to Mr Kellogg 
and Mr Martin for figures of their fine articles. 
After describing the foregoing the writer obtained a few other 
illustrations from various parts of New York. For some of these 
he is indebted to Mr ©. ©. Willoughby, assistant curator of the 
Peabody museum, Cambridge Mass. Fig. 171 is a native copper
