  fact 
  these 
  are 
  so 
  large 
  that 
  they 
  might 
  well 
  be 
  called 
  a 
  small 
  form 
  

   of 
  spears. 
  Fig. 
  42 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  grey 
  flint, 
  and 
  comes 
  from 
  Brewerton, 
  

   where 
  spears 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  kind 
  are 
  found, 
  and 
  it 
  differs 
  from 
  them 
  

   only 
  in 
  size. 
  It 
  is 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  inches 
  long, 
  one 
  corner 
  of 
  the 
  

   base 
  being 
  broken 
  off, 
  so 
  that 
  but 
  one 
  notch 
  remains 
  on 
  that 
  side. 
  

   The 
  notches 
  are 
  neatly 
  made. 
  Fig. 
  43 
  is 
  a 
  curious 
  one 
  from 
  Onon- 
  

   daga 
  lake, 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  length, 
  and 
  of 
  common 
  flint. 
  It 
  is 
  much 
  

   thicker 
  than 
  the 
  last, 
  and 
  has 
  a 
  narrower 
  base 
  and 
  broader 
  notches. 
  

   A 
  similar 
  base 
  appears 
  in 
  one 
  from 
  Seneca 
  lake, 
  though 
  somewhat 
  

   wider. 
  The 
  latter 
  may 
  have 
  a 
  more 
  definite 
  claim 
  to 
  the 
  title 
  of 
  

   arrow, 
  being 
  one 
  and 
  seven 
  eighths 
  inches 
  long. 
  It 
  has 
  a 
  rounded 
  

   point, 
  and 
  the 
  notches 
  are 
  neatly 
  cut. 
  This 
  is 
  the 
  smallest 
  of 
  these 
  

   thus 
  far 
  reported. 
  

  

  The 
  ordinary 
  notched 
  or 
  shouldered 
  arrows, 
  the 
  most 
  abundant 
  of 
  

   all, 
  occur 
  in 
  several 
  varieties. 
  Those 
  with 
  widely 
  expanded 
  bases 
  

   are 
  frequent 
  in 
  central 
  New 
  York, 
  and 
  are 
  usually 
  quite 
  thick, 
  

   although 
  not 
  invariably. 
  Fig. 
  44 
  shows 
  one 
  of 
  blue 
  flint, 
  from 
  Nine 
  

   Mile 
  creek, 
  in 
  Onondaga 
  county. 
  This 
  has 
  a 
  base 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  

   inches 
  wide, 
  making 
  the 
  three 
  sides 
  nearly 
  equal. 
  So 
  broad 
  is 
  the 
  

   point 
  of 
  the 
  next 
  that 
  it 
  might 
  be 
  classed 
  as 
  a 
  bunt. 
  This 
  is 
  shown 
  

   in 
  fig. 
  45, 
  which 
  is 
  of 
  common 
  hornstone, 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  quarter 
  inches 
  

   wide, 
  and 
  with 
  a 
  concave 
  base 
  differing 
  a 
  little 
  from 
  the 
  last. 
  In 
  

   both 
  of 
  these 
  the 
  broad 
  wings 
  of 
  the 
  base 
  are 
  notable 
  features, 
  well 
  

   brought 
  out 
  by 
  the 
  deep 
  notches 
  of 
  the 
  lateral 
  edges. 
  Fig. 
  46 
  repre- 
  

   sents 
  another 
  frequent 
  form, 
  which 
  may 
  be 
  thin 
  or 
  thick, 
  long 
  or 
  

   short. 
  This 
  one 
  is 
  of 
  a 
  variegated 
  drab 
  flint, 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  inches 
  

   long, 
  which 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  frequent 
  size. 
  It 
  comes 
  from 
  the 
  Seneca 
  river, 
  

   and 
  differs 
  from 
  the 
  last 
  in 
  being 
  longer, 
  having 
  shallower 
  notches, 
  

   and 
  a 
  straight 
  base. 
  There 
  are 
  many 
  beautiful 
  examples 
  of 
  this 
  

   form, 
  and 
  it 
  was 
  well 
  adapted 
  for 
  preservation, 
  specially 
  when 
  thick. 
  

   It 
  may 
  be 
  observed 
  that 
  many 
  such 
  arrows 
  are 
  thickest 
  toward 
  the 
  

   point, 
  thus 
  allowing 
  the 
  thinner 
  part 
  to 
  be 
  inserted 
  in 
  the 
  shaft. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  47 
  is 
  a 
  more 
  slender 
  form, 
  also 
  somewhat 
  common, 
  though 
  

   not 
  usually 
  as 
  fine 
  as 
  this. 
  It 
  will 
  be 
  seen 
  that 
  most 
  of 
  these 
  are 
  

   simply 
  notched 
  triangular 
  arrows, 
  many 
  of 
  them 
  quite 
  as 
  thin 
  

   as 
  in 
  that 
  characteristic 
  form. 
  This 
  specimen 
  is 
  of 
  drab 
  flint,
