  eighths 
  broad. 
  From 
  the 
  Seneca 
  River. 
  Fig. 
  i68 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  and 
  

   deeply 
  notched 
  knife, 
  of 
  unusual 
  form, 
  one 
  and 
  five 
  eighths 
  inches 
  

   long. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  dark 
  grey 
  slate, 
  and 
  was 
  found 
  at 
  Brewerton. 
  Fig. 
  

   169 
  is 
  of 
  dark 
  slate, 
  and 
  is 
  from 
  the 
  Oneida 
  River. 
  In 
  its 
  present 
  

   form 
  it 
  closely 
  resembles 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  Eskimo 
  knives, 
  but 
  it 
  prob- 
  

   ably 
  once 
  had 
  barbs 
  which 
  have 
  been 
  cut 
  away. 
  It 
  is 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  

   half 
  inches 
  long 
  by 
  one 
  broad. 
  Occasionally 
  one 
  seems 
  to 
  have 
  

   been 
  broken 
  and 
  recut, 
  leaving 
  it 
  unsymmetrical 
  but 
  strikingly 
  like 
  

   some 
  recent 
  Eskimo 
  knives. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  170 
  is 
  of 
  red 
  slate, 
  shouldered, 
  short 
  and 
  very 
  broad. 
  It 
  is 
  

   from 
  Jefferson 
  County, 
  and 
  one 
  and 
  five 
  eighths 
  inches 
  long 
  by 
  

   one 
  and 
  one 
  eighth 
  wide. 
  The 
  notches 
  are 
  deep. 
  Those 
  of 
  red 
  

   slate 
  are 
  often 
  quite 
  broad. 
  They 
  occur 
  mostly 
  on 
  Lake 
  Cham- 
  

   plain, 
  but 
  some 
  are 
  found 
  south 
  of 
  Lake 
  Ontario. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  171 
  is 
  of 
  bluish 
  slate, 
  from 
  the 
  Seneca 
  River, 
  and 
  has 
  barbs. 
  

   It 
  is 
  two 
  and 
  three 
  eighths 
  inches 
  long 
  and 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  fourth 
  

   wide. 
  This 
  is 
  a 
  frequent 
  form. 
  Fig. 
  172 
  is 
  of 
  dark 
  slate, 
  from 
  Chit- 
  

   tenango 
  Creek, 
  near 
  Oneida 
  Lake, 
  and 
  is 
  three 
  by 
  one 
  and 
  three 
  

   eighths 
  inches. 
  Instead 
  of 
  coming 
  to 
  a 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  defined 
  

   medial 
  ridge, 
  it 
  is 
  sharply 
  beveled 
  from 
  a 
  plane 
  surface 
  to 
  the 
  edges. 
  

   It 
  is 
  shouldered, 
  and 
  the 
  base 
  has 
  no 
  lateral 
  notches. 
  Fig. 
  173 
  is 
  

   the 
  smallest 
  yet 
  found, 
  and 
  is 
  of 
  grey 
  slate, 
  and 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  fourth 
  

   inches 
  long 
  by 
  a 
  little 
  over 
  half 
  an 
  inch 
  broad. 
  It 
  is 
  shouldered 
  and 
  

   rather 
  rude. 
  This 
  was 
  found 
  at 
  Onondaga 
  Lake. 
  Fig. 
  174 
  is 
  

   omitted. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  175 
  is 
  of 
  dark 
  slate, 
  somewhat 
  barbed, 
  and 
  conspicuously 
  

   notched 
  on 
  the 
  edges 
  of 
  the 
  base. 
  It 
  is 
  ground 
  from 
  the 
  center 
  to 
  

   the 
  edges, 
  Hke 
  most 
  others, 
  and 
  is 
  three 
  and 
  three 
  fourths 
  inches 
  

   long 
  by 
  one 
  and 
  three 
  eighths 
  wide. 
  This 
  is 
  from 
  the 
  Seneca 
  River. 
  

   Fig. 
  176 
  is 
  the 
  handsomest 
  yet 
  found, 
  and 
  is 
  from 
  an 
  island 
  in 
  the 
  

   Oneida 
  River 
  at 
  Brewerton, 
  where 
  broken 
  harpoons, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  per- 
  

   fect 
  ones, 
  have 
  been 
  abundant. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  grey 
  slate, 
  shouldered 
  and 
  

   thin, 
  finely 
  polished, 
  and 
  with 
  an 
  unusually 
  slender 
  base 
  and 
  deep 
  

   notches. 
  The 
  base 
  is 
  finely 
  finished 
  and 
  rounded. 
  This 
  fine 
  knife 
  

   is 
  two 
  and 
  seven 
  eighths 
  inches 
  long 
  by 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  eighth 
  wide.
