  rounded, 
  instead 
  of 
  coming 
  to 
  a 
  point. 
  This 
  part 
  differs 
  little 
  from 
  

   the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  work, 
  but 
  if 
  it 
  was 
  the 
  original 
  design 
  it 
  is 
  certainly 
  

   unique. 
  It 
  was 
  probably 
  repointed 
  at 
  an 
  early 
  or 
  recent 
  day. 
  It 
  is 
  

   of 
  dark 
  slate, 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  by 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  fourth 
  inches. 
  One 
  

   of 
  dark 
  slate, 
  from 
  the 
  Seneca 
  River, 
  has 
  very 
  deep 
  notches, 
  and 
  is 
  one 
  

   and 
  three 
  fourths 
  long 
  by 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  eighth 
  inches 
  wide. 
  Another 
  

   of 
  green 
  slate, 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  river, 
  has 
  the 
  same 
  features^ 
  and 
  is 
  

   three 
  by 
  one 
  and 
  three 
  eighths 
  inches. 
  Quite 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  grey 
  slate 
  

   come 
  from 
  the 
  Oswego 
  River. 
  A 
  fine 
  one 
  of 
  this 
  material, 
  from 
  the 
  

   Seneca 
  River, 
  is 
  shouldered, 
  but 
  has 
  no 
  grooves 
  or 
  lateral 
  notches. 
  

   It 
  is 
  three 
  and 
  one 
  eighth 
  inches 
  long 
  by 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  fourth 
  wide, 
  

   which 
  is 
  about 
  the 
  average 
  size. 
  Another 
  of 
  red 
  slate 
  is 
  from 
  the 
  

   same 
  place, 
  and 
  is 
  broken, 
  but 
  is 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  eighth 
  inches 
  wide, 
  

   and 
  was 
  proportionately 
  long; 
  probably 
  about 
  six 
  inches. 
  The 
  base 
  

   is 
  short 
  and 
  the 
  notches 
  deep. 
  This 
  is 
  barbed. 
  

  

  A 
  barbed 
  one, 
  with 
  a 
  very 
  long 
  stem, 
  comes 
  from 
  Oswego 
  Falls. 
  

   Another, 
  of 
  dark 
  slate 
  and 
  shouldered, 
  is 
  from 
  Chittenango 
  Creek, 
  

   and 
  is 
  three 
  by 
  one 
  and 
  five 
  eighths 
  inches. 
  Another 
  long-stem- 
  

   med 
  knife 
  of 
  grey 
  slate 
  is 
  from 
  Brewerton, 
  and 
  is 
  two 
  and 
  three 
  

   eighths 
  by 
  one 
  and 
  three 
  eighths 
  inches. 
  The 
  barbs 
  are 
  long 
  and 
  

   the 
  notches 
  distant, 
  A 
  large 
  black 
  one 
  comes 
  from 
  Cayuga 
  County, 
  

   and 
  several 
  from 
  Jefferson. 
  These 
  are 
  not 
  far 
  from 
  three 
  inches 
  in 
  

   length. 
  A 
  large 
  black 
  one 
  is 
  from 
  Rome, 
  where 
  others 
  have 
  been 
  

   found. 
  A 
  broken 
  one 
  of 
  black 
  slate 
  is 
  from 
  Kendaia, 
  east 
  of 
  Seneca 
  

   Lake, 
  the 
  extreme 
  southern 
  limit 
  of 
  these 
  articles 
  thus 
  far. 
  The 
  

   width 
  is 
  one 
  and 
  three 
  eighths 
  and 
  the 
  present 
  length 
  three 
  inches. 
  

   Several 
  come 
  from 
  that 
  lake, 
  as 
  would 
  be 
  natural 
  from 
  its 
  con- 
  

   nection 
  with 
  the 
  Oswego 
  river. 
  A 
  fine 
  barbed 
  one 
  of 
  brown 
  slate, 
  

   having 
  deep 
  notches, 
  is 
  from 
  Seneca 
  County, 
  and 
  is 
  three 
  and 
  one 
  

   eighth 
  by 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  fourth 
  inches. 
  Another 
  black 
  and 
  barbed 
  

   one, 
  which 
  has 
  lost 
  its 
  base, 
  is 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  vicinity. 
  The 
  present 
  

   size 
  is 
  four 
  and 
  one 
  fourth 
  by 
  one 
  and 
  five 
  eighths 
  inches. 
  

  

  One 
  from 
  near 
  Holland 
  Patent 
  now 
  represents 
  the 
  eastern 
  range 
  

   of 
  these 
  in 
  the 
  interior 
  of 
  New 
  York. 
  It 
  is 
  barbed, 
  of 
  grey 
  slate 
  and 
  

   is 
  four 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  by 
  one 
  and 
  five 
  eighths 
  inches. 
  Another 
  of 
  grey 
  

   slate, 
  from 
  Brewerton, 
  has 
  unusually 
  long 
  and 
  prominent 
  barbs, 
  as
