  eighths 
  inches 
  wide, 
  polished 
  and 
  from 
  the 
  Oneida 
  River. 
  Fig. 
  15 
  

   is 
  also 
  not 
  a 
  common 
  form. 
  It 
  is 
  nearly 
  triangular 
  and 
  of 
  light 
  

   olive 
  green 
  slate, 
  two 
  and 
  three 
  fourths 
  by 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  inches. 
  

   It 
  is 
  both 
  tliick 
  and 
  sharp, 
  and 
  has 
  a 
  very 
  convex 
  edge 
  and 
  comes 
  

   from 
  Seneca 
  River. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  16 
  is 
  much 
  like 
  one 
  before 
  described, 
  and 
  was 
  found 
  with 
  

   it. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  dark 
  green 
  striped 
  slate, 
  four 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  by 
  two 
  and 
  

   one 
  half 
  inches, 
  and 
  is 
  longer, 
  narrower, 
  and 
  less 
  twisted 
  than 
  the 
  

   other. 
  They 
  are 
  of 
  moderate 
  thickness, 
  and 
  no 
  others 
  have 
  been 
  

   reported 
  at 
  all 
  resembling 
  them. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  17 
  is 
  a 
  curious 
  quartzite 
  celt 
  from 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  River, 
  being 
  

   highly 
  ornamented 
  with 
  lines 
  and 
  circular 
  indentations, 
  and 
  having 
  

   both 
  sides 
  thus 
  carved. 
  It 
  is 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  quarter 
  by 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  

   half 
  inches. 
  Celts 
  are 
  often 
  thus 
  ornamented, 
  though 
  not 
  so 
  pro- 
  

   fusely 
  as 
  this. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  18 
  is 
  small, 
  thin 
  and 
  symmetrical, 
  with 
  a 
  cutting 
  edge 
  at 
  each 
  

   end. 
  This 
  feature 
  is 
  hardly 
  rare, 
  and 
  appears 
  in 
  much 
  larger 
  speci- 
  

   mens. 
  This 
  implement 
  is 
  but 
  one 
  and 
  three 
  fourths 
  inches 
  long 
  

   by 
  one 
  half 
  wide^ 
  the 
  flat 
  sides 
  neatly 
  curving 
  to 
  the 
  sharp 
  ends. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  1 
  8a 
  is 
  another 
  very 
  broad 
  black 
  celt 
  of 
  small 
  size^ 
  one 
  and 
  

   three 
  quarters 
  by 
  three 
  quarters 
  inches. 
  Both 
  are 
  from 
  Seneca 
  

   River. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  19 
  is 
  of 
  grey 
  sandstone 
  with 
  indented 
  edges, 
  and 
  rather 
  flat. 
  

   It 
  is 
  five 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  inches 
  long 
  by 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  quarter 
  broad, 
  

   and 
  was 
  found 
  at 
  Onondaga 
  Lake. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  20 
  is 
  a 
  beautiful 
  and 
  remarkable 
  celt 
  of 
  green 
  striped 
  slate, 
  

   from 
  Onondaga 
  Lake. 
  It 
  is 
  quite 
  broad, 
  being 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  fourth 
  

   by 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  inches, 
  and 
  is 
  remarkable 
  for 
  a 
  depression 
  

   across 
  the 
  surface 
  half 
  an 
  inch 
  from 
  the 
  edge, 
  which 
  has 
  a 
  flat 
  

   grinding 
  below 
  this. 
  It 
  seems 
  unique. 
  Fig. 
  21 
  is 
  grooved 
  in 
  a 
  

   very 
  different 
  way, 
  having 
  three 
  grooves 
  across 
  the 
  back. 
  It 
  is 
  

   thick 
  and 
  flat, 
  of 
  light 
  olive 
  green 
  slate, 
  and 
  is 
  five 
  and 
  one 
  eighth 
  

   by 
  two 
  and 
  three 
  eighths 
  inches. 
  It 
  was 
  found 
  by 
  the 
  Oneida 
  River, 
  

   at 
  Caughdenoy. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  22 
  is 
  peculiar 
  in 
  many 
  ways, 
  having 
  grooved 
  lines 
  lengthwise 
  

   and 
  across. 
  It 
  is 
  four 
  and 
  one 
  eighth 
  by 
  one 
  inch, 
  and 
  comes
