may have been broken. This is from Brewerton. Fig. 61 is a fine,, 

 flat bone awl or narrow knife from the Cayadutta site. The point 

 has been lost, and one edge ran straight to this. Most of the length 

 the edges are parallel. The base shows a transverse cut close to the 

 ornamental grooves, and it seems to have been broken there. The 

 carving is of straight lines variously arranged. This is in the col- 

 lection of Percy M. Van Epps of Glenville. 



Fig. 62 is a flat and curved bone implement, one of the broad, 

 rounded ends being sharpened. The edges are neatly rounded, and it 

 is nearly a quarter of an inch thick. It was found by Dr Hinsdale 

 on the island at Brewerton. Fig. 65 is fine and thick, and is polished 

 all over. It is somewhat angular, and the reverse is concave. Tnis is 

 from Pompey and in the Bigelow cabinet. Fig. 6Q is a broad, flat and 

 curved bone knife, worked all over and ornamented with straight lines 

 variously arranged. This was found near the village of St Lawrence, 

 and belongs to Charles Crouse of Chaumont. These ornamented arti- 

 cles seem more frequent in Jefferson county than elsewhere. 



Fig. 75 is unique. It is a thin and neatly worked knife, made 

 from the antler of a young deer. It was found by George Slocum 

 in the Onondaga valley some miles south of Syracuse. 



Fig. 84 is a broken bone implement from the vicinity of the vil- 

 lage of St Lawrence, and is decorated in the frequent style of that 

 region. It suggests a long knife with parallel edges. These are 

 rounded. The reverse is flat with a longitudinal groove. Fig. 88 

 was found by Dr Amidon near the same place. It is flattened and 

 line, with a longitudinal groove in one surface. These are usually 

 part of the natural cavity. 



Fig. 113 is a form frequent in Jefferson county. One collection 

 has many and fine examples, but figures of these could not be 

 procured. One similar to this, but larger, has four perforations, 

 and some others have the same number. The one here represented 

 is in the Bigelow collection and from the Christopher site, showing 

 the probable migration of the early Onondagas from Jefferson 

 county. It is highly polished all over, is nearly flat, and is pointed 

 at both ends. The edges are rounded, and it has two perforations. 

 Fig. 115 is from another early Onondaga fort, the Atwell site. It 

 is flat, dark, and polished all over. One end is pointed and the
