Fig. 30 might be classed as an adze. One surface is nearly a 

 plane, and the other curves to each sharp end. It is of sandstone, 

 nine and seven eighths inches long by one and three eighths deep, 

 the width slightly exceeding the depth. It is from Brewerton, and 

 a rare form for the size. 



Fig. 31 is a small celt of variegated grey granite, from Van 

 Buren. It is one and five eighths inches long by one and one 

 eighth wide, and is quite flat on one side. Fig. 32 is larger and less 

 angular, but of the same broad form. It is of a highly polished 

 dark green marble, almost black, two and one eighth by two inches 

 wide, and rather thick. The edges are rounded, and it comes from 

 Seneca River. Fig. 33 is another of these small celts, made of 

 black basalt and moderately broad. It is one and one half inches 

 long by thirteen sixteenths wide, and comes from an early stockade 

 on the Seneca River. 



Fig. 34 is of black basalt, and is from a recent stockade in Pom- 

 pey. It is an Onondaga implement used about A. D. 1630, and in- 

 teresting in this way. It is thin, flat and angular, five and three 

 eighths inches by two wide, and the edge is abruptly ground. It 

 was found in 1878. 



Fig. 35 is another of the small broad celts, from a place on the 

 Seneca River where many of this form have been found. It is of 

 basalt, one and three fourths inches by one and five eighths wide, 

 the extreme width almost equaling the length. 



Descriptions are added of a few celts not figured here, but all of 

 which are described and illustrated elsewhere. 



A fine angular and rather flat celt of black limestone is from 

 Brewerton, and is nine inches long by two and three fourths wide. 

 It has a fine polish and sharp angles, the latter being quite common 

 with this form. Another, from the same place, is of black basalt, 

 and almost triangular in section. It is quite large, being nf inches 

 by two and three fourths wide. A fine angular celt of grey sand- 

 stone is also from Oneida Lake, and has a narrow back and sloping 

 sides. Many of this peculiar form are found near there. This is five 

 inches long by two and three eighths wide. Another of this fre- 

 quent angular form is of basalt, and comes from the Seneca River.
