eighths inches wide, polished and from the Oneida River. Fig. 15 

 is also not a common form. It is nearly triangular and of light 

 olive green slate, two and three fourths by one and one half inches. 

 It is both thick and sharp, and has a very convex edge and comes 

 from Seneca River. 



Fig. 16 is much like one before described, and was found with 

 it. It is of dark green striped slate, four and one half by two and 

 one half inches, and is longer, narrower, and less twisted than the 

 other. They are of moderate thickness, and no others have been 

 reported at all resembling them. 



Fig. 17 is a curious quartzite celt from the Mohawk River, being 

 highly ornamented with lines and circular indentations, and having 

 both sides thus carved. It is two and one quarter by one and one 

 half inches. Celts are often thus ornamented, though not so pro- 

 fusely as this. ] < ! ! ' I h ; ' i 



Fig. 18 is small, thin and symmetrical, with a cutting edge at each 

 end. This feature is hardly rare, and appears in much larger speci- 

 mens. This implement is but one and three fourths inches long 

 by one half wide, the flat sides neatly curving to the sharp ends. 



Fig. 1 8a is another very broad black celt of small size, one and 

 three quarters by three quarters inches. Both are from Seneca 

 River. 



Fig. 19 is of grey sandstone with indented edges, and rather flat. 

 It is five and one half inches long by two and one quarter broad, 

 and was found at Onondaga Lake. 



Fig. 20 is a beautiful and remarkable celt of green striped slate, 

 from Onondaga Lake. It is quite broad, being two and one fourth 

 by one and one half inches, and is remarkable for a depression 

 across the surface half an inch from the edge, which has a flat 

 grinding below this. It seems unique. Fig. 21 is grooved in a 

 very different way, having three grooves across the back. It is 

 thick and flat, of light olive green slate, and is five and one eighth 

 by two and three eighths inches. It was found by the Oneida River, 

 at Caughdenoy. 



Fig. 22 is peculiar in many ways, having grooved lines lengthwise 

 and across. It is four and one eighth by one inch, and comes
