  eighths 
  wide. 
  The 
  ends 
  are 
  rounded, 
  and 
  the 
  orifice 
  is 
  a 
  little 
  over 
  

   half 
  an 
  inch 
  in 
  diameter, 
  contracting 
  slightly 
  in 
  the 
  interior 
  of 
  the 
  

   stone. 
  There 
  are 
  no 
  village 
  sites 
  near, 
  and 
  but 
  few 
  small 
  camps. 
  

   Fig. 
  203 
  is 
  elliptical 
  every 
  way, 
  but 
  roundly 
  pointed 
  at 
  each 
  end. 
  It 
  

   comes 
  from 
  Dresden, 
  on 
  Seneca 
  Lake, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  fault 
  in 
  the 
  

   green 
  striped 
  slate 
  of 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  made. 
  It 
  is 
  three 
  and 
  three 
  eighths 
  

   wide, 
  and 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  inches 
  deep. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  204 
  is 
  a 
  straight 
  pick 
  form, 
  a 
  being 
  tHe 
  profile, 
  and 
  h 
  the 
  

   basal 
  view. 
  The 
  base 
  is 
  longitudinally 
  grooved, 
  and 
  the 
  gradual 
  

   expansion 
  makes 
  a 
  central 
  ridge 
  unnecessary. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  light 
  olive 
  

   green 
  slate, 
  having 
  a 
  depth 
  of 
  three 
  quarters 
  of 
  an 
  inch, 
  and 
  a 
  width 
  

   of 
  three 
  inches. 
  The 
  orifice 
  is 
  three 
  quarers 
  of 
  an 
  inch. 
  This 
  is 
  

   from 
  Oneida 
  Lake. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  205 
  is 
  another 
  unusual 
  form 
  of 
  light 
  green 
  striped 
  slate, 
  

   with 
  an 
  elliptical 
  perforation, 
  as 
  in 
  Fig. 
  191, 
  but 
  not 
  so 
  narrow. 
  

   Both 
  ends 
  are 
  grooved, 
  and 
  the 
  lateral 
  edges 
  are 
  almost 
  sharp. 
  It 
  

   is 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  inches 
  wide 
  and 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  deep. 
  The 
  

   thickness 
  is 
  three 
  quarters 
  of 
  an 
  inch. 
  A 
  banner 
  stone 
  of 
  bluish 
  

   drab 
  slate, 
  from 
  the 
  Seneca 
  River^ 
  is 
  a 
  little 
  broken, 
  and 
  approaches 
  

   the 
  heart 
  shape. 
  The 
  perforation 
  is 
  half 
  an 
  inch 
  in 
  diameter, 
  but 
  

   enlarges 
  within, 
  an 
  unusual 
  feature. 
  This 
  article 
  is 
  three 
  and 
  three 
  

   fourths 
  inches 
  deep 
  and 
  three 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  wide. 
  Another, 
  of 
  sim- 
  

   ilar 
  shape 
  and 
  found 
  some 
  miles 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  river, 
  is 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  

   half 
  inches 
  deep 
  and 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  eighth 
  wide. 
  This 
  is 
  made 
  of 
  an 
  

   olive 
  and 
  mottled 
  slate, 
  the 
  perforation 
  in 
  which 
  averages 
  over 
  half 
  

   an 
  inch 
  wide. 
  Another 
  of 
  olive 
  slate 
  found 
  near 
  the 
  last, 
  has 
  

   straighter 
  and 
  nearly 
  parallel 
  sides. 
  There 
  is 
  the 
  usual 
  expansion 
  

   in 
  the 
  center, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  nearly 
  three 
  inches 
  deep 
  by 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  

   quarter 
  wide. 
  The 
  perforation 
  is 
  about 
  half 
  an 
  inch. 
  Still 
  another 
  

   approaching 
  the 
  heart 
  shape 
  is 
  from 
  the 
  head 
  of 
  Oneida 
  Lake, 
  on 
  the 
  

   north 
  side. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  bluish 
  olive 
  slate, 
  three 
  and 
  one 
  quarter 
  deep 
  

   and 
  two 
  and 
  three 
  quarters 
  inches 
  wide, 
  and 
  thickened 
  in 
  the 
  center. 
  

   There 
  are 
  lines 
  across 
  the 
  edges. 
  The 
  orifice 
  is 
  over 
  half 
  an 
  inch, 
  

   and 
  drilling 
  coarse. 
  Another 
  of 
  similar 
  form 
  comes 
  from 
  the 
  west 
  

   end 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  lake, 
  and 
  is 
  of 
  a 
  dark 
  mottled 
  slate, 
  three 
  inches 
  

   deep 
  and 
  three 
  and 
  one 
  fourth 
  wide. 
  As 
  a 
  rule 
  the 
  perforation
