have been intended for a dagger or spear. It is from the Mind en 

 or Otstungo fort and is of horn. Fig. 108 is another fine example, 

 smaller, but having much the same character. The base is neatly 

 cut across, but is now gougelike on one side. The implement is of 

 hollow horn, quite sharp, and perforated from side to side. It is 

 not highly polished, and the natural grooves remain at the base. 

 This was found, at Brewerton by Dr Hinsdale. 



Fig. 304 is a broken and triangular arrow, much like those of 

 flint. It is perforated in the center, has an indented base, and is 

 irregularly worked. Of course it is not hollow. This is from the 

 Atwell fort, and in the Burr collection. Fig. 311 is a horn arrow 

 point, hollow and chipped, and with an indented base. It is f in Dr 

 Amidon's collection. Fig. 314 is in the same cabinet, and is also 

 hollow and chipped, but of small size. The base is indented, and 

 the figure might pass for one of flint. Fig. 318 also belongs to 

 Dr Amidon. It is triangular, and both the long edges are sharp. 

 On the reverse it is concave. Dr Getman found a flat and triangu- 

 lar bone arrowhead on the St Lawrence site, Sep. 21, 1901. It is 

 If inches long and has an angularly shouldered base. 



Fig. 323 is a fine hollow, cylindric horn arrow, sharp and polished. 

 It is from an early site near Clifton Springs, and is in the Coats 

 collection. Fig. 345 is a notched horn arrow from Rice's woods. 

 It is rounded, not hollow, and the point is a little bent and obtuse. 

 Most of these arrowheads are of horn. 



Fig. -73 is probably a flat bone arrow, of a long, pyriform outline 

 and indented at the base. It is grooved on one surface and merely 

 notched on the other. This polished article was found in the ashes 

 on the Kaneenda site, on the Onondaga inlet. In the Waterbury 

 collection is a hollow bone arrowhead, If inches long. There is 

 another of these from Clifton Springs, in the Coats collection, and 

 Dr Amidon has a fine one 2^ inches long. 



"W. L. Calver reported one of these at Cold Spring, Putnam co., 

 and 20 others from a grave on Staten Island in 1895. He also had 

 a hollow horn arrow from a shell heap at Spuyten Duyvil creek. 

 Similar forms are found abroad. 



A bone arrowhead from Hochelaga, at Montreal,, is figured by 

 Sir J. W. Dawson in ^Fossil men, p. 135, which closely resembles
