  finest 
  of 
  these, 
  but 
  has 
  lost 
  the 
  extreme 
  point, 
  having 
  been 
  originally 
  

   a 
  little 
  over 
  five 
  inches 
  long. 
  It 
  has 
  two 
  notches 
  on 
  each 
  side, 
  and 
  

   the 
  surface 
  is 
  flatter 
  and 
  straighter 
  than 
  in 
  others 
  of 
  this 
  material, 
  

   while 
  it 
  is 
  also 
  more 
  slender. 
  It 
  was 
  recently 
  plowed 
  up 
  near 
  Three 
  

   River 
  Point. 
  

  

  These 
  spears 
  and 
  arrows 
  with 
  more 
  than 
  one 
  notch 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  

   are 
  but 
  moderately 
  rare, 
  and 
  are 
  of 
  wide 
  distribution 
  in 
  New 
  York, 
  

   as 
  compared 
  with 
  other 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  country. 
  Dr 
  Rau 
  figured 
  a 
  

   broken 
  one 
  from 
  Maine, 
  made 
  of 
  brown 
  jasper, 
  whose 
  full 
  length 
  

   would 
  have 
  been 
  six 
  and 
  one 
  quarter 
  inches. 
  He 
  marked 
  this 
  as 
  

   ' 
  quite 
  exceptional,' 
  and 
  it 
  had 
  three 
  notches 
  on 
  each 
  side. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  

   the 
  usual 
  New 
  York 
  form. 
  Dr 
  Abbott 
  did 
  not 
  place 
  this 
  among 
  his 
  

   New 
  Jersey 
  forms, 
  nor 
  does 
  it 
  appear 
  in 
  Mr 
  Fowke's 
  chipped 
  imple- 
  

   ments 
  of 
  the 
  Mississippi 
  basin 
  and 
  the 
  southern 
  states. 
  The 
  writer 
  

   does 
  not 
  find 
  it 
  in 
  his 
  collection 
  of 
  outhnes 
  of 
  rare 
  articles 
  in 
  Ohio. 
  

   One 
  occurs 
  in 
  the 
  collection 
  of 
  the 
  Canadian 
  institute, 
  in 
  Toronto, 
  

   which 
  is 
  three 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  inches 
  long, 
  and 
  has 
  double 
  notches, 
  but 
  

   there 
  it 
  is 
  also 
  called 
  rare, 
  and 
  more 
  have 
  come 
  under 
  the 
  writer's 
  

   eye 
  in 
  central 
  New 
  York, 
  within 
  a 
  radius 
  of 
  a 
  dozen 
  miles, 
  than 
  have 
  

   been 
  reported 
  in 
  all 
  the 
  country 
  elsewhere. 
  It 
  might 
  be 
  considered 
  

   a 
  New 
  York 
  form. 
  

  

  A 
  broken 
  one 
  of 
  white 
  flint 
  comes 
  from 
  the 
  Seneca 
  river, 
  and 
  has 
  

   two 
  distinct 
  broad 
  notches 
  on 
  each 
  side, 
  with 
  others 
  which 
  are 
  ob- 
  

   scure. 
  This 
  fragment 
  is 
  now 
  two 
  and 
  three 
  quarters 
  inches 
  long, 
  with 
  

   straight 
  edges, 
  tapering 
  from 
  a 
  base 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  inches 
  wdde. 
  

   The 
  original 
  length 
  would 
  have 
  been 
  four 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  inches, 
  unless 
  

   it 
  had 
  a 
  rounded 
  obtuse 
  point, 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  next. 
  Fig. 
  120 
  is 
  a 
  fine 
  

   article 
  from 
  Oswego 
  Falls, 
  and 
  is 
  of 
  greenish 
  white 
  flint, 
  four 
  and 
  

   three 
  eighths 
  inches 
  long. 
  The 
  double 
  notches 
  are 
  much 
  more 
  dis- 
  

   tinct 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  fragment 
  just 
  described. 
  One 
  of 
  white 
  flint 
  comes 
  

   from 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  valley, 
  and 
  is 
  five 
  inches 
  long, 
  with 
  three 
  notches 
  

   on 
  each 
  side. 
  Another, 
  made 
  of 
  red 
  jasper, 
  is 
  from 
  Brewerton, 
  and 
  

   is 
  three 
  inches 
  long, 
  with 
  double 
  notches. 
  Similar 
  ones 
  occur 
  there. 
  

   A 
  well 
  wrought 
  one 
  of 
  drab 
  flint, 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  place, 
  is 
  three 
  and 
  

   one 
  half 
  inches 
  long, 
  and 
  has 
  double 
  notches. 
  A 
  smaller 
  and 
  broadly 
  

   triangular 
  specimen, 
  of 
  common 
  flint, 
  comes 
  from 
  Skaneateles 
  lake.
