 There is a ruder and smaller one in the Toronto collection, from 

 West Ontario, which has but one hole. It is five and three eighths 

 inches high by five and one eighth in extreme width. These are 

 all that have been reported of this form. The figure here given is

 coming to a point at each end. In this article these points have 

 been broken off, the original length being six and one half inches.

 nearly triangular. The material is a banded red slate, and there is 

 but one hole. It is five and three fourths inches long, two and three 

 quarters at the broad end; the narrow end three quarters of an 

 inch wide. Both these are reduced in the illustration. 



Fig. 217 is a rare form, the upper and lower edges being curved 

 and parallel, with the upper line longest. The ends are straight, 

 but not parallel, and there are three holes near the center. It is

 218 has curving sides which do not reach a point at the ends. It 

 is of brown slate, and the edges are moderately convex. It has 

 two holes, and the length is five and one half with a width of two 

 inches. It was found west of Onondaga Lake. Fig. 223 is of 

 similar but broader form, and has two holes, perforated mainly from

 and is six inches long by one and three quarters wide. Fig. 224
