   They 
  usually 
  have 
  a

  cutting 
  edge 
  at 
  one 
  end, 
  and 
  are 
  rounded 
  

   at 
  the 
  other. 
  This 
  one 
  comes 
  to 
  a 
  sharp 
  point, 
  and 
  is 
  rounded 
  and 
  

   sharp 
  at 
  the 
  broad

  and 
  is 
  of 
  brown 
  sand- 
  

   stone, 
  four 
  by 
  three 
  quarters 
  inches. 
  It 
  is 
  sharp 
  at 
  both 
  ends, 
  the 
  

   more

  one 
  being 
  rounded, 
  and

  Fig.

  is 
  of 
  green 
  striped 
  slate, 
  and 
  approaches

  It 
  is 
  four

  eighth 
  inches 
  

   by 
  three

  and 
  comes 
  from 
  Chittenango 
  Creek, 
  There 
  

   are 
  many 
  of 
  this 
  form, 
  but 
  their 
  use 
  is 
  not 
  clear. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  10 
  is 
  another 
  of 
  the 
  angular 
  celts, 
  and 
  a 
  still 
  rarer 
  form. 
  It 
  

   is 
  of 
  brownish 
  drab 
  sandstone, 
  eight 
  inches 
  long 
  by 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  

   eighth 
  w4de, 
  and 
  of 
  a 
  tapering 
  form. 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  raised 
  medial 
  line 
  

   on 
  each 
  broad 
  surface, 
  which, 
  for 
  half 
  the 
  length, 
  has 
  been 
  gradu- 
  

   ally 
  ground 
  down 
  to 
  the 
  broad 
  cutting 
  edge. 
  The 
  small 
  end 
  is 
  

   brought 
  to 
  a 
  neat 
  point. 
  Angles 
  like 
  these 
  are 
  hardly 
  rare 
  and 
  yet 
  

   are 
  seldom 
  so 
  pronounced. 
  This 
  comes 
  from 
  the 
  village 
  of 
  Bald- 
  

   winsville.
