  Fig. 
  187 
  is 
  nearly 
  elliptical, 
  but 
  the 
  wings 
  terminate 
  in 
  points. 
  

   It 
  has 
  one 
  deep 
  indentation, 
  like 
  the 
  last. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  thin 
  striped 
  slate, 
  

   thickened 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  as 
  usual, 
  and 
  the 
  dimensions 
  are 
  five 
  and 
  

   one 
  half 
  in 
  width 
  by 
  two 
  and 
  five 
  eighths 
  inches 
  deep. 
  This 
  was 
  

   found 
  four 
  feet 
  below 
  the 
  surface 
  by 
  the 
  outlet 
  of 
  Chautauqua 
  Lake, 
  

   above 
  Jamestown. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  188 
  is 
  also 
  of 
  striped 
  slate, 
  with 
  an 
  orifice 
  averaging 
  five 
  

   eighths 
  of 
  an 
  inch. 
  It 
  came 
  from 
  Camillus, 
  and 
  is 
  of 
  the 
  butterfly 
  

   form, 
  but 
  differs 
  from 
  most 
  specimens 
  in 
  not 
  having 
  the 
  wings 
  in 
  a 
  

   plane. 
  It 
  is 
  rather 
  thick, 
  and 
  is 
  four 
  and 
  five 
  eighths 
  wide 
  by 
  one 
  

   and 
  seven 
  eighths 
  inches 
  deep. 
  Those 
  as 
  heavy 
  as 
  this 
  of 
  course 
  

   might 
  have 
  served 
  some 
  useful 
  purpose, 
  but 
  they 
  are 
  not 
  sharpened 
  

   and 
  show 
  no 
  marks 
  of 
  use. 
  The 
  perforation 
  is 
  larger 
  than 
  would 
  be 
  

   required 
  for 
  mere 
  suspension, 
  and 
  it 
  seems 
  reasonable 
  that 
  a 
  handle 
  

   or 
  staff 
  was 
  inserted 
  in 
  this. 
  The 
  difference 
  in 
  the 
  terminal 
  diam- 
  

   eters 
  of 
  the 
  orifice 
  is 
  usually 
  an 
  eighth 
  of 
  an 
  inch. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  189 
  approaches 
  a 
  long 
  heart 
  shape, 
  indented 
  at 
  each 
  end, 
  and 
  

   with 
  the 
  customary 
  central 
  ridge. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  olive 
  green 
  slate, 
  and 
  

   much 
  narrower 
  for 
  its 
  depth 
  than 
  usual, 
  though 
  many 
  have 
  this 
  gen- 
  

   eral 
  form. 
  The 
  larger 
  diameter 
  of 
  the 
  orifice 
  is 
  seven 
  sixteenths 
  of 
  

   an 
  inch, 
  and 
  the 
  stone 
  is 
  two 
  and 
  three 
  fourths 
  wide 
  by 
  four 
  and 
  

   one 
  eighth 
  inches 
  deep. 
  This 
  and 
  the 
  next 
  are 
  from 
  Brewerton. 
  

   Fig. 
  191 
  is 
  quite 
  curious 
  from 
  its 
  unsymmetrical 
  form 
  and 
  unusual 
  

   perforation, 
  the 
  latter 
  being 
  elliptical. 
  The 
  material 
  is 
  a 
  beautiful 
  

   green 
  striped 
  slate, 
  showing 
  a 
  fault 
  in 
  the 
  stone, 
  a 
  not 
  infrequent 
  

   feature. 
  This 
  is 
  quite 
  sharp 
  near 
  the 
  perforated 
  end, 
  and 
  the 
  out- 
  

   line 
  each 
  way 
  is 
  not 
  unlike 
  some 
  forms 
  of 
  broad 
  celts. 
  The 
  greatest 
  

   diameter 
  is 
  two 
  and 
  five 
  eighths 
  inches, 
  and 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  orifice 
  eleven 
  

   sixteenths 
  of 
  an 
  inch. 
  Of 
  course 
  the 
  latter 
  was 
  not 
  made 
  in 
  the 
  

   usual 
  way, 
  although 
  neatly 
  finished. 
  This 
  beautiful 
  and 
  remark- 
  

   able 
  article 
  was 
  found 
  not 
  very 
  long 
  since.

  Fig. 
  192 
  is 
  unfinished, 
  and 
  those 
  in 
  this 
  condition 
  are 
  hardly 
  rare, 
  

   but 
  this 
  has 
  unusual 
  interest 
  from 
  showing 
  the 
  mode 
  of 
  drilling, 
  as 
  

   well 
  as 
  preliminary 
  work. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  a 
  hard 
  greenish 
  and 
  crystalline 
  

   stone, 
  picked 
  all 
  over 
  into 
  a 
  symmetrical 
  form, 
  and 
  ground 
  above 
  

   and 
  below. 
  On 
  the 
  lower 
  edge 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  perforation 
  was 
  begun
