HORN AND BONE IMPLEMENTS 301 



Fig. 236 is one of many similar examples in the Waterbury col- 

 lection. They are usually a little ridged, often broken, and with 

 many small and irregular barbs on both sides. Fig. 237 is a rude 

 harpoon found on the site near Pompey Center. The barbs are 

 mere projections, and of unusual form. Fig. 240 is large for a 

 bilateral harpoon, and has three barbs on each edge. It is of horn, 

 and the natural hollow is preserved, the edges of this being neatly 

 worked down. This was found by Dr Hinsdale on the island at 

 Brewerton. 



Fig. 241 is of unusual form, and was found by Dr Getman near 

 Chaumont. It is a thick harpoon head of bone, with a single and 

 large barb on each edge. The base is rounded, and the article pei- 

 fect. Fig. 246 is in the Waterbury collection, and was found by 

 him in 1899. It is nearly flat and very long. Three barbs on each 

 edge are very near one end. Fig. 248 is in the same collection, and 

 is a fine bone harpoon of unusual form and well preserved. The 

 surface is flat and beveled on each side. The slight and sharp barbs 

 are quite far apart, and the point of the harpoon is very keen. 

 Fragments of these are found, but few good specimens. 



Fig. 251 was found north of the river at Brewerton by Dr Hins- 

 dale. It is very long and flat, with many sharp barbs crowded near 

 the point. There are six of these on each edge. It expands from 

 the point to the base, which is nearly an inch wide. Across this 

 are shallow cuts, as though it had been intended to make the base 

 square. Fig. 252 was found by the same person and in the same 

 place. It is about the same length as the last, but narrower. The 

 barbs are different, and there are four on each edge. The edges of 

 both are rounded. 



Fig. 253 is a fine bone harpoon, of unusual form for an Iroquois 

 site. It is in the Dann collection at Honeoye Falls. There is a 

 single barb on each side, both having a slight indentation half way 

 from the point. From the notch below the barbs there is a grad- 

 ual expansion to the rounded base. It is of a flattened form. 

 Fig. 255 is a curious little bone harpoon, found by Dr Hinsdale 

 on the Christopher site. There are four rounded or obtuse barbs 

 on one edge, and five sharper ones on the other. It is a little 

 ridged on one surface, polished on both, and with an outline much
