﻿ABORIGINAL

  of 
  common 
  flint, 
  and 
  is 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  inches 
  long. 
  Most 
  of 
  these 
  

   are 
  from 
  Onondaga 
  county. 
  The 
  same 
  form 
  often 
  appears 
  in 
  

   scrapers. 
  Fig. 
  22 
  can 
  hardly 
  be 
  assigned 
  any 
  other 
  place, 
  although 
  too 
  

   long 
  and 
  heavy 
  to 
  be 
  strictly 
  called 
  an 
  arrow, 
  being 
  two 
  and 
  three 
  

   quarters 
  inches 
  long, 
  and 
  very 
  coarsely 
  chipped. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  common 
  

   flint, 
  and 
  occurs 
  on 
  the 
  Seneca 
  river 
  in 
  smaller 
  sizes. 
  As 
  an 
  arrow 
  

   it 
  might 
  have 
  been 
  used 
  to 
  stun 
  fish. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  23 
  is 
  a 
  fine 
  arrow 
  of 
  the 
  bunt 
  form, 
  quite 
  flat, 
  and 
  with 
  a 
  

   finely 
  rounded 
  edge. 
  It 
  is 
  one 
  and 
  three 
  eighths 
  inches 
  long, 
  and 
  is 
  

   made 
  of 
  a 
  fine 
  brown 
  flinty 
  sandstone. 
  In 
  this 
  the 
  stem 
  expands 
  at 
  

   the 
  base. 
  Fig. 
  24 
  is 
  even 
  finer, 
  and 
  is 
  of 
  dark 
  blue 
  flint, 
  about 
  one 
  

   and 
  one 
  quarter 
  inches 
  long. 
  It 
  differs 
  from 
  the 
  last 
  in 
  having 
  dis- 
  

   tinct 
  barbs. 
  Fig. 
  25 
  has 
  a 
  simple 
  rounded 
  stem, 
  and 
  is 
  a 
  beautiful 
  

   specim.en, 
  made 
  of 
  light 
  grey 
  and 
  lustrous 
  jasper. 
  It 
  is 
  from 
  Cross 
  

   lake, 
  and 
  is 
  nearly 
  one 
  and 
  seven 
  eighths 
  inches 
  long. 
  This 
  is 
  more 
  

   properly 
  a 
  scraper, 
  for 
  though 
  it 
  is 
  neatly 
  chipped 
  all 
  over 
  both 
  sides, 
  

   yet 
  one 
  side 
  is 
  much 
  the 
  flatter, 
  and 
  the 
  edge 
  is 
  cut 
  at 
  the 
  usual 
  

   angle. 
  It 
  may 
  be 
  considered 
  an 
  intermediate 
  form. 
  A 
  large 
  propor- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  the 
  bunts 
  on 
  Seneca 
  river 
  have 
  the 
  rounded 
  end, 
  but 
  some 
  

   are 
  angular. 
  They 
  are 
  quite 
  variable. 
  

  

  Among 
  the 
  stemmed 
  but 
  notchless 
  forms 
  are 
  many 
  having 
  a 
  sug- 
  

   gestion 
  of 
  barbs, 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  kind 
  which 
  Catlin 
  called 
  hunting 
  arrows. 
  

   This 
  projection, 
  when 
  not 
  carried 
  below 
  a 
  horizontal 
  line, 
  is 
  now 
  

   called 
  a 
  shoulder, 
  and 
  is 
  a 
  frequent 
  feature. 
  The 
  edges 
  may 
  be 
  

   straight 
  or 
  curved, 
  and 
  they 
  are 
  so 
  common 
  as 
  scarcely 
  to 
  require 
  

   illustration. 
  Fig. 
  26 
  is 
  a 
  good 
  typical 
  specimen, 
  made 
  of 
  light 
  grey 
  

   flint, 
  and 
  one 
  and 
  seven 
  eighths 
  inches 
  long. 
  This 
  is 
  from 
  Cross 
  lake. 
  

   An 
  infinite 
  variety 
  will 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  this 
  simple 
  form, 
  produced 
  by 
  

   variations 
  in 
  length, 
  breadth, 
  and 
  proportion 
  of 
  parts. 
  Fig. 
  27 
  is 
  a 
  

   very 
  odd 
  example, 
  of 
  yellow 
  jasper, 
  suggesting 
  both 
  the 
  pentagonal 
  

   and 
  bunt 
  arrows, 
  and 
  having 
  deep 
  notches. 
  A 
  Httle 
  central 
  point 
  

   also 
  suggests 
  the 
  drill. 
  It 
  comes 
  from 
  Tonawanda 
  and 
  is 
  but 
  little 
  

   over 
  an 
  inch 
  long. 
  Fig. 
  28 
  is 
  still 
  more 
  curious 
  here, 
  being 
  more 
  

   like 
  extreme 
  western 
  forms 
  than 
  those 
  of 
  New 
  York. 
  It 
  is 
  very 
  

   small, 
  too, 
  though 
  others 
  here, 
  of 
  a 
  different 
  outline, 
  are 
  less 
  than 
  

   half 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  this. 
  It 
  might 
  be 
  described 
  as 
  a 
  narrow 
  and 
  a
