  Fig. 
  80 
  is 
  small, 
  but 
  of 
  an 
  unusual 
  design. 
  The 
  border 
  is 
  crenu- 
  

   lated, 
  and 
  within 
  are 
  alternate 
  crescent 
  and 
  cordate 
  apertures, 
  four 
  

   of 
  each, 
  the 
  latter 
  pointing 
  to 
  the 
  edge. 
  

  

  The 
  following, 
  in 
  the 
  writer's 
  collection, 
  come 
  from 
  the 
  Allegany 
  

   reservation. 
  They 
  are 
  circular, 
  but 
  others 
  from 
  that 
  place 
  are 
  of 
  

   other 
  forms. 
  Fig. 
  52 
  has 
  the 
  broad 
  crenulations 
  finely 
  serrated, 
  a 
  

   rare 
  feature. 
  There 
  are 
  lines 
  of 
  semicircular, 
  pyriform 
  and 
  very 
  

   small 
  circular 
  apertures. 
  Fig. 
  70 
  has 
  a 
  crenulated 
  border, 
  and 
  two 
  

   lines 
  of 
  semicircular 
  openings 
  within. 
  

  

  Some 
  other 
  Allegany 
  circular 
  brooches 
  follow. 
  Fig. 
  51 
  is 
  a 
  

   small 
  brooch 
  with 
  crenulated 
  edges. 
  The 
  apertures 
  are 
  crescent 
  

   and 
  pyriform. 
  Fig. 
  66 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  pretty 
  example. 
  The 
  crenulations 
  

   are 
  alternately 
  long 
  and 
  short, 
  and 
  the 
  perforations 
  are 
  semicircular 
  

   and 
  triangular. 
  The 
  central 
  aperture 
  is 
  angular, 
  and 
  the 
  tracery 
  

   adds 
  much 
  to 
  the 
  beauty 
  of 
  this 
  ornament. 
  Fig. 
  71 
  is 
  unique. 
  

   There 
  are 
  eight 
  short 
  projecting 
  points 
  united 
  by 
  curved 
  edges, 
  

   and 
  two 
  lines 
  of 
  diamond 
  form 
  apertures. 
  Fig. 
  75 
  has 
  a 
  plain 
  rim 
  

   and 
  eight 
  triangular 
  openings. 
  The 
  effect 
  is 
  that 
  of 
  an 
  included 
  

   star. 
  Fig. 
  81 
  has 
  a 
  broadly 
  undulating 
  edge, 
  and 
  a 
  line 
  of 
  elliptic 
  

   openings 
  pointing 
  to 
  the 
  center. 
  Fig. 
  84 
  has 
  a 
  finely 
  crenulated 
  

   border 
  and 
  a 
  circle 
  of 
  small 
  bosses 
  within 
  this. 
  All 
  the 
  openings, 
  

   including 
  the 
  central 
  one, 
  are 
  quadrilateral. 
  This 
  is 
  a 
  rare 
  feature 
  

   in 
  a 
  circular 
  brooch. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  Buffalo 
  collection. 
  Fig. 
  37 
  has 
  broadly 
  

   crenulated 
  edges, 
  with 
  an 
  inner 
  line 
  of 
  semicircular 
  openings. 
  

   Within 
  this 
  is 
  another 
  line 
  of 
  six 
  elliptic 
  apertures, 
  alternating 
  with 
  

   those 
  which 
  may 
  be 
  called 
  cuneiform. 
  The 
  tracery 
  is 
  of 
  small 
  

   circles 
  and 
  arrow 
  points. 
  Fig. 
  44 
  has 
  a 
  crenulated 
  border 
  and 
  a 
  

   line 
  of 
  triangular 
  openings. 
  An 
  inner 
  line 
  of 
  crescents 
  and 
  delicate 
  

   tracery 
  adds 
  much 
  to 
  the 
  effect. 
  Fig. 
  47 
  has 
  a 
  crenulated 
  edge, 
  and 
  

   lines 
  of 
  crescent 
  and 
  elliptic 
  openings. 
  Fig. 
  58a 
  is 
  crenulated, 
  and 
  

   the 
  apertures 
  are 
  cordate 
  and 
  elliptic. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  pretty 
  brooch. 
  

  

  The 
  writer 
  secured 
  a 
  number 
  on 
  the 
  Tonawanda 
  reservation, 
  but 
  

   there 
  was 
  but 
  little 
  variety 
  among 
  them. 
  Fig. 
  62 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  these. 
  

   It 
  has 
  a 
  plain 
  rim, 
  but 
  the 
  single 
  line 
  of 
  semicircular 
  openings 
  

   gives 
  a 
  starlike 
  appearance 
  to 
  the 
  center. 
  Fig. 
  82 
  has 
  very 
  promi-
