  an 
  extreme 
  form 
  of 
  this, 
  made 
  of 
  common 
  flint, 
  one 
  and 
  three 
  quarters 
  

   inches 
  long. 
  It 
  is 
  remarkable 
  for 
  its 
  obtuse 
  barbs. 
  This 
  was 
  found 
  

   on 
  Onondaga 
  lake. 
  Fig. 
  i6 
  represents 
  the 
  typical 
  form, 
  with 
  gentler 
  

   curves 
  and 
  sharper 
  angles. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  specimen 
  from 
  Ithaca, 
  of 
  

   dark 
  flint, 
  and 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  quarter 
  inches 
  long. 
  Many 
  differ 
  hardly 
  

   at 
  all 
  from 
  this 
  except 
  in 
  size. 
  Fig. 
  17 
  is 
  a 
  slender 
  form 
  from 
  Brew- 
  

   erton, 
  of 
  common 
  flint, 
  two 
  inches 
  long. 
  They 
  are 
  rarely 
  as 
  slender 
  

   as 
  this, 
  but 
  many 
  intermediate 
  varieties 
  occur, 
  none 
  of 
  which 
  have 
  

   slender 
  barbs. 
  Good 
  examples 
  seem 
  almost 
  peculiar 
  to 
  New 
  York. 
  

   Notchless 
  pentagonal 
  arrows 
  are 
  moderately 
  distributed, 
  and 
  occur 
  

   in 
  several 
  materials. 
  Fig. 
  18 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  common 
  flint, 
  from 
  the 
  town 
  

   of 
  Van 
  Buren, 
  and 
  has 
  angles 
  somewhat 
  rounded. 
  It 
  is 
  quite 
  flat, 
  

   and 
  one 
  and 
  three 
  quarters 
  inches 
  long. 
  They 
  are 
  usually 
  quite 
  as 
  

   broad 
  as 
  this, 
  though 
  slender 
  forms 
  occur. 
  A 
  ruder 
  and 
  more 
  mas- 
  

   sive 
  one, 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  size 
  and 
  outline, 
  comes 
  from 
  Baldwinsville, 
  

   It 
  is 
  made 
  of 
  a 
  piece 
  of 
  common 
  hornstone, 
  which 
  unites 
  the 
  light 
  

   clay 
  color 
  and 
  the 
  dark 
  drab 
  tint. 
  They 
  may 
  be 
  either 
  arrows 
  or 
  

   knives. 
  

  

  The 
  name 
  of 
  bunt 
  has 
  been 
  adopted 
  for 
  a 
  class 
  of 
  stemmed 
  stone 
  

   arrow-heads, 
  with 
  broadly 
  rounded 
  or 
  obtusely 
  pointed 
  ends. 
  The 
  

   term 
  was 
  first 
  used 
  in 
  Missouri, 
  and 
  while 
  Mr 
  A. 
  E. 
  Douglass, 
  of 
  

   New 
  York 
  city, 
  has 
  753 
  Missouri 
  specimens 
  in 
  his 
  collection, 
  he 
  

   reports 
  none 
  from, 
  this 
  state. 
  They 
  are 
  frequent 
  farther 
  south 
  and 
  

   southwest, 
  and 
  seem 
  here 
  most 
  abundant 
  on 
  the 
  Seneca 
  river. 
  In 
  

   outline 
  they 
  often 
  have 
  the 
  scraper 
  forms, 
  and 
  are 
  sometimes 
  con- 
  

   founded 
  with 
  them, 
  but 
  the 
  class 
  will 
  hold 
  good. 
  To 
  this 
  day 
  the 
  

   Onondagas 
  use 
  blunt 
  headed 
  arrows 
  made 
  entirely 
  of 
  wood, 
  as 
  they 
  

   probably 
  always 
  did. 
  Sometimes 
  those 
  of 
  stone 
  seem 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  

   merely 
  broken 
  arrows, 
  long 
  ago 
  recut 
  for 
  use, 
  as 
  in 
  fig. 
  19, 
  from 
  

   Seneca 
  river. 
  Of 
  course 
  this 
  might 
  have 
  been 
  used 
  for 
  digging 
  pur- 
  

   poses, 
  like 
  longer 
  ones 
  of 
  this 
  form, 
  but 
  it 
  seems 
  too 
  short 
  for 
  this. 
  

   In 
  this 
  specimen 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  perceptible 
  difference 
  in 
  the 
  flaking, 
  as 
  

   though 
  it 
  had 
  a 
  secondary 
  use. 
  It 
  is 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  inches 
  long. 
  

   Fig. 
  20 
  shows 
  a 
  longer 
  and 
  straighter 
  form, 
  made 
  of 
  light 
  grey 
  flint. 
  

   This 
  is 
  quite 
  thick, 
  and 
  about 
  one 
  and 
  three 
  quarters 
  inches 
  long. 
  

   Fig. 
  21 
  is 
  a 
  typical 
  form, 
  of 
  which 
  there 
  are 
  many 
  examples. 
  It 
  is
