  It 
  has 
  double 
  notches, 
  and 
  is 
  two 
  and 
  seven 
  eighths 
  inches 
  long. 
  

   Fig. 
  134 
  was 
  inadvertently 
  placed 
  out 
  of 
  its 
  proper 
  order, 
  but 
  is 
  in 
  

   every 
  way 
  the 
  finest 
  of 
  these 
  yet 
  found. 
  The 
  material 
  is 
  clouded 
  

   quartz, 
  and 
  thus 
  the 
  flaking 
  produced 
  no 
  conspicuous 
  lines 
  on 
  the 
  

   surface, 
  but 
  the 
  outline 
  is 
  very 
  neatly 
  wrought. 
  It 
  is 
  six 
  and 
  one 
  

   half 
  inches 
  long, 
  and 
  was 
  found 
  in 
  removing 
  a 
  stump 
  three 
  quarters 
  

   of 
  a 
  mile 
  north 
  of 
  Brewerton, 
  in 
  1896. 
  It 
  is 
  flat 
  and 
  thin, 
  and 
  nearly 
  

   two 
  inches 
  wide, 
  but 
  its 
  prominent 
  feature 
  is 
  the 
  number 
  of 
  notches, 
  

   five 
  on 
  one 
  edge 
  and 
  six 
  on 
  the 
  other. 
  The 
  base 
  is 
  truncate, 
  and 
  the 
  

   edges 
  slightly 
  curving 
  to 
  the 
  sharp 
  point. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  121 
  is 
  a 
  good 
  example 
  of 
  a 
  thin 
  and 
  narrowly 
  notched 
  spear- 
  

   head 
  of 
  common 
  hornstone, 
  quite 
  sharp, 
  and 
  attenuated 
  at 
  the 
  point. 
  

   It 
  is 
  about 
  two 
  and 
  five 
  eighths 
  inches 
  long, 
  and 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  frequent 
  

   form. 
  This 
  specimen 
  is 
  from 
  the 
  Seneca 
  river, 
  as 
  is 
  the 
  next. 
  Fig. 
  

   122 
  is 
  also 
  of 
  hornstone, 
  but 
  quite 
  thick, 
  and 
  sHghtly 
  shouldered. 
  

   The 
  base 
  is 
  long, 
  and 
  does 
  not 
  expand, 
  but 
  is 
  rounded 
  at 
  the 
  end. 
  It 
  

   is 
  three 
  and 
  one 
  eighth 
  inches 
  from 
  extreme 
  base 
  to 
  the 
  point, 
  and 
  is 
  

   typical 
  of 
  a 
  large 
  class, 
  very 
  widely 
  distributed. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  123 
  is 
  a 
  notable 
  spear-head 
  from 
  Owego, 
  near 
  the 
  Susque- 
  

   hanna 
  river. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  a 
  blue 
  grey 
  flint, 
  seven 
  and 
  one 
  quarter 
  inches 
  

   long, 
  and 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  rare 
  if 
  not 
  unique 
  form. 
  Either 
  end 
  might 
  have 
  

   been 
  used 
  for 
  a 
  spear, 
  had 
  occasion 
  required, 
  but 
  apparently 
  this 
  was 
  

   the 
  office 
  of 
  the 
  longer 
  and 
  slender 
  part. 
  This 
  had 
  mostly 
  concave 
  

   edges, 
  rounding 
  to 
  the 
  point. 
  The 
  shorter 
  and 
  broader 
  portion 
  has 
  

   convex 
  edges 
  throughout. 
  The 
  whole 
  implement 
  is 
  neatly 
  wrought 
  

   throughout. 
  

  

  Some 
  stemmed 
  spear-heads 
  have 
  concave 
  bases 
  ; 
  perhaps 
  no 
  great 
  

   distinction, 
  and 
  yet 
  one 
  which 
  has 
  attracted 
  attention. 
  Many 
  others, 
  

   slender, 
  but 
  of 
  the 
  notched 
  arrow 
  form, 
  are 
  made 
  of 
  white 
  flint, 
  a 
  

   favorite 
  material 
  for 
  spears, 
  but 
  obviously 
  brought 
  a 
  long 
  distance. 
  

   While 
  fine 
  examples 
  they 
  present 
  few 
  peculiar 
  features. 
  Stemmed 
  

   spear-heads 
  with 
  a 
  convex 
  expanding 
  base 
  are 
  also 
  frequent, 
  and 
  are 
  

   usually 
  notched. 
  Fig. 
  125 
  shows 
  a 
  parallel 
  sided 
  form 
  from 
  Skane- 
  

   ateles. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  drab 
  flint, 
  two 
  and 
  seven 
  eighths 
  inches 
  long, 
  and 
  one 
  

   and 
  one 
  eighth 
  inches 
  wide. 
  While 
  it 
  is 
  notched, 
  the 
  general 
  outline 
  

   is 
  a 
  long 
  pentagon. 
  Much 
  like 
  this, 
  but 
  larger, 
  is 
  one 
  from 
  Queens-
