  Obviously, 
  half 
  an 
  inch 
  added 
  to 
  the 
  width, 
  or 
  a 
  doubling 
  in 
  thick- 
  

   ness, 
  would 
  have 
  produced 
  more 
  resistance 
  in 
  the 
  air 
  than 
  a 
  much 
  

   greater 
  increase 
  in 
  length. 
  At 
  the 
  same 
  time, 
  for 
  certain 
  purpose^ 
  

   and 
  where 
  the 
  range 
  was 
  short, 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  shooting 
  of 
  bears 
  or 
  fish, 
  

   neither 
  an 
  increase 
  in 
  weight 
  or 
  breadth 
  would 
  have 
  been 
  a 
  disad- 
  

   vantage. 
  In 
  a 
  general 
  way, 
  more 
  than 
  one 
  form 
  would 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  

   the 
  quiver, 
  even 
  while 
  a 
  special 
  object 
  w^as 
  kept 
  in 
  view. 
  Sir 
  John 
  

   Franklin 
  unexpectedly 
  met 
  a 
  party 
  of 
  Eskimo 
  in 
  1825. 
  These 
  at 
  

   once 
  changed 
  their 
  hunting 
  arrows 
  for 
  those 
  of 
  war, 
  showing 
  that 
  

   they 
  were 
  well 
  supplied 
  with 
  both. 
  This 
  distinction 
  of 
  kinds 
  proba- 
  

   bly 
  went 
  much 
  farther. 
  The 
  hunting 
  arrows 
  themselves 
  were 
  

   adapted 
  for 
  different 
  kinds 
  of 
  game. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  81 
  is 
  another 
  of 
  these 
  small 
  arrow-heads, 
  made 
  of 
  dark 
  flint, 
  

   and 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  quarter 
  inches 
  long. 
  Fig. 
  82 
  is 
  a 
  httle 
  smaller, 
  being 
  

   one 
  and 
  one 
  eighth 
  inches 
  in 
  length. 
  Fig. 
  83 
  is 
  a 
  fine 
  arrow 
  of 
  white 
  

   quartz, 
  two 
  inches 
  long. 
  All 
  these 
  are 
  from 
  the 
  Seneca 
  river, 
  and 
  

   others 
  of 
  these 
  simple 
  stemmed 
  forms 
  present 
  many 
  variations. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  84 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  and 
  broad 
  arrow-head 
  of 
  drab 
  flint, 
  from 
  Onon- 
  

   daga 
  lake. 
  It 
  is 
  quite 
  thin, 
  and 
  is 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  quarter 
  inches 
  long. 
  

   This 
  would 
  have 
  served 
  quite 
  as 
  well 
  for 
  a 
  knife, 
  and 
  is 
  notched 
  and 
  

   well 
  worked. 
  Fig. 
  85 
  is 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  vicinity, 
  and 
  is 
  more 
  dis- 
  

   tinctly 
  notched, 
  and 
  also 
  much 
  narrower. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  blue 
  flint, 
  and 
  is 
  

   two 
  and 
  one 
  eighth 
  inches 
  long. 
  The 
  base 
  is 
  slightly 
  wider 
  than 
  the 
  

   blade. 
  This 
  form 
  is 
  quite 
  frequent 
  in 
  larger 
  sizes. 
  Fig. 
  86 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  

   neat 
  notched 
  arrow-head, 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  place. 
  It 
  is 
  made 
  of 
  com- 
  

   mon 
  hornstone, 
  and 
  is 
  one 
  and 
  three 
  quarters 
  inches 
  in 
  length, 
  being 
  

   both 
  thin 
  and 
  symmetrical. 
  Fig. 
  87 
  is 
  quite 
  curious, 
  and 
  comes 
  from 
  

   Oak 
  Orchard, 
  on 
  the 
  Oneida 
  river. 
  It 
  is 
  made 
  of 
  olive 
  slate, 
  of 
  

   uniform 
  thickness, 
  and 
  the 
  edges 
  alone 
  are 
  worked, 
  much 
  like 
  a 
  

   scraper. 
  Arrows 
  made 
  of 
  stratified 
  material 
  are 
  hardly 
  rare, 
  but 
  

   slates 
  like 
  this 
  are 
  seldom 
  seen 
  adapted 
  to 
  such 
  uses. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  88 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  barbed 
  arrow, 
  nearly 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  quarter 
  inches 
  

   in 
  length, 
  and 
  made 
  of 
  a 
  bluish 
  drab 
  flint, 
  variegated 
  with 
  white 
  

   quartz. 
  It 
  was 
  found, 
  with 
  others 
  of 
  similar 
  material, 
  near 
  Three 
  

   River 
  Point. 
  The 
  barbs 
  are 
  well 
  preserved, 
  and 
  the 
  work 
  is 
  good. 
  

   Fig. 
  89 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  notched 
  arrow 
  of 
  brown 
  flint, 
  one 
  inch 
  long, 
  and
