  Fig. 
  30 
  might 
  be 
  classed 
  as 
  an 
  adze. 
  One 
  surface 
  is 
  nearly 
  a 
  

   plane, 
  and 
  the 
  other 
  curves 
  to 
  each 
  sharp 
  end. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  sandstone, 
  

   nine 
  and 
  seven 
  eighths 
  inches 
  long 
  by 
  one 
  and 
  three 
  eighths 
  deep, 
  

   the 
  width 
  slightly 
  exceeding 
  the 
  depth. 
  It 
  is 
  from 
  Brewerton, 
  and 
  

   a 
  rare 
  form 
  for 
  the 
  size. 
  

  

  Fig, 
  31 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  celt 
  of 
  variegated 
  grey 
  granite, 
  from 
  Van 
  

   Buren. 
  It 
  is 
  one 
  and 
  five 
  eighths 
  inches 
  long 
  by 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  

   eighth 
  wide, 
  and 
  is 
  quite 
  flat 
  on 
  one 
  side. 
  Fig. 
  32 
  is 
  larger 
  and 
  less 
  

   angular, 
  but 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  broad 
  form. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  a 
  highly 
  polished 
  

   dark 
  green 
  marble, 
  almost 
  black, 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  eighth 
  by 
  two 
  inches 
  

   wide, 
  and 
  rather 
  thick. 
  The 
  edges 
  are 
  rounded, 
  and 
  it 
  comes 
  from 
  

   Seneca 
  River. 
  Fig. 
  33 
  is 
  another 
  of 
  these 
  small 
  celts, 
  made 
  of 
  

   black 
  basalt 
  and 
  moderately 
  broad. 
  It 
  is 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  inches 
  

   long 
  by 
  thirteen 
  sixteenths 
  wide, 
  and 
  comes 
  from 
  an 
  early 
  stockade 
  

   on 
  the 
  Seneca 
  River. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  34 
  is 
  of 
  black 
  basalt, 
  and 
  is 
  from 
  a 
  recent 
  stockade 
  in 
  Pom- 
  

   pey. 
  It 
  is 
  an 
  Onondaga 
  implement 
  used 
  about 
  A. 
  D. 
  1630, 
  and 
  in- 
  

   teresting 
  in 
  this 
  way. 
  It 
  is 
  thin, 
  fiat 
  and 
  angular, 
  five 
  and 
  three 
  

   eighths 
  inches 
  by 
  two 
  wide, 
  and 
  the 
  edge 
  is 
  abruptly 
  ground. 
  It 
  

   was 
  found 
  in 
  1878. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  35 
  is 
  another 
  of 
  the 
  small 
  broad 
  celts, 
  from 
  a 
  place 
  on 
  the 
  

   Seneca 
  River 
  where 
  many 
  of 
  this 
  form 
  have 
  been 
  found. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  

   basalt, 
  one 
  and 
  three 
  fourths 
  inches 
  by 
  one 
  and 
  five 
  eighths 
  wide, 
  

   the 
  extreme 
  width 
  almost 
  equaling 
  the 
  length. 
  

  

  Descriptions 
  are 
  added 
  of 
  a 
  few 
  celts 
  not 
  figured 
  here^ 
  but 
  all 
  of 
  

   which 
  are 
  described 
  and 
  illustrated 
  elsewhere. 
  

  

  A 
  fine 
  angular 
  and 
  rather 
  fiat 
  celt 
  of 
  black 
  limestone 
  is 
  from 
  

   Brewerton, 
  and 
  is 
  nine 
  inches 
  long 
  by 
  two 
  and 
  three 
  fourths 
  wide. 
  

   It 
  has 
  a 
  fine 
  polish 
  and 
  sharp 
  angles, 
  the 
  latter 
  being 
  quite 
  common 
  

   with 
  this 
  form. 
  Another, 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  place, 
  is 
  of 
  black 
  basalt, 
  

   and 
  almost 
  triangular 
  in 
  section. 
  It 
  is 
  quite 
  large, 
  being 
  iif 
  inches 
  

   by 
  two 
  and 
  three 
  fourths 
  wide. 
  A 
  fine 
  angular 
  celt 
  of 
  grey 
  sand- 
  

   stone 
  is 
  also 
  from 
  Oneida 
  Lake, 
  and 
  has 
  a 
  narrow 
  back 
  and 
  sloping 
  

   sides. 
  Many 
  of 
  this 
  peculiar 
  form 
  are 
  found 
  near 
  there. 
  This 
  is 
  five 
  

   inches 
  long 
  by 
  two 
  and 
  three 
  eighths 
  wide. 
  Another 
  of 
  this 
  fre- 
  

   quent 
  angular 
  form 
  is 
  of 
  basalt, 
  and 
  comes 
  from 
  the 
  Seneca 
  River.
