  once. 
  Fig. 
  157 
  is 
  such 
  an 
  article, 
  of 
  common 
  flint, 
  representing 
  a 
  

   frequent 
  form 
  on 
  the 
  Seneca 
  river. 
  It 
  is 
  three 
  inches 
  long, 
  and 
  the 
  

   base 
  is 
  but 
  slightly 
  wider 
  than 
  the 
  main 
  part. 
  One 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  form 
  

   and 
  material 
  but 
  four 
  inches 
  long, 
  comes 
  from 
  Onondaga 
  Valley. 
  

   This 
  also 
  is 
  straight, 
  and 
  has 
  but 
  a 
  trifling 
  expansion 
  at 
  the 
  end. 
  

   Another 
  of 
  similar 
  form 
  and 
  material, 
  from 
  Brewerton, 
  is 
  a 
  little 
  

   thicker, 
  and 
  three 
  and 
  five 
  eighths 
  inches 
  long; 
  nor 
  are 
  these 
  solitary 
  

   examples, 
  although 
  they 
  may 
  represent 
  the 
  extreme 
  length 
  of 
  this 
  

   form 
  here. 
  

  

  Some 
  expanded 
  forms 
  do 
  not 
  exceed 
  an 
  inch 
  in 
  length. 
  Fig. 
  158 
  

   shows 
  one 
  of 
  these 
  which 
  is 
  not 
  an 
  inch 
  long, 
  but 
  which 
  is 
  neatly 
  

   worked 
  and 
  symmetrical. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  bluish 
  flint, 
  and 
  was 
  found 
  at 
  Bald- 
  

   winsville 
  in 
  1878. 
  Fig. 
  162 
  has 
  a 
  thicker 
  base 
  than 
  usual, 
  and 
  indeed 
  

   is 
  somewhate 
  massive 
  throughout. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  brown 
  flint, 
  three 
  and 
  

   three 
  quarters 
  inches 
  long, 
  and 
  comes 
  from 
  the 
  Oswego 
  river. 
  Fig. 
  

   163 
  is 
  a 
  beautiful 
  drill, 
  yellow 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  and 
  shading 
  into 
  red, 
  which 
  

   is 
  the 
  color 
  most 
  of 
  the 
  way 
  towards 
  the 
  point. 
  This 
  may 
  have 
  been 
  

   caused 
  by 
  heat. 
  The 
  base 
  is 
  moderately 
  broad 
  with 
  concave 
  sides, 
  

   and 
  is 
  three 
  and 
  three 
  quarters 
  inches 
  long. 
  It 
  comes 
  from 
  Onondaga 
  

   lake. 
  In 
  many 
  such 
  forms 
  there 
  is 
  little 
  more 
  than 
  a 
  quick 
  expansion 
  

   of 
  the 
  base, 
  tapering, 
  rounded, 
  or 
  angular, 
  as 
  the 
  case 
  may 
  be. 
  These 
  

   vary 
  little 
  in 
  length, 
  but 
  are 
  often 
  quite 
  wide. 
  Fig. 
  164 
  unites 
  the 
  

   scraper 
  and 
  drill, 
  as 
  in 
  some 
  other 
  cases, 
  having 
  a 
  scraper 
  edge 
  almost 
  

   to 
  the 
  point. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  mottled 
  flint, 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  inches 
  long, 
  and 
  

   was 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  Seneca 
  river. 
  

  

  Another 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  long 
  drills 
  was 
  distinctly 
  notched. 
  Fig. 
  165 
  

   is 
  a 
  beautiful 
  example 
  of 
  these. 
  It 
  is 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  river, 
  and 
  is 
  of 
  

   a 
  mottled 
  grey 
  flint, 
  three 
  and 
  seven 
  eighths 
  inches 
  long. 
  Both 
  work 
  

   and 
  material 
  are 
  fine, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  slightly 
  barbed 
  on 
  one 
  side. 
  Very 
  

   closely 
  resembling 
  this 
  is 
  another 
  from 
  the 
  Mohawk, 
  at 
  Canajoharie 
  

   flats. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  drab 
  flint, 
  a 
  little 
  shorter 
  and 
  wider 
  than 
  the 
  last, 
  but 
  

   equally 
  fine. 
  The 
  length 
  is 
  three 
  and 
  three 
  eighths 
  inches. 
  A 
  broader 
  

   form 
  still, 
  but 
  of 
  about 
  half 
  the 
  length, 
  comes 
  from 
  Brewerton, 
  and 
  

   there 
  are 
  many 
  approaching 
  these. 
  

  

  Excepting 
  as 
  they 
  approach 
  the 
  triangular 
  form, 
  those 
  with 
  a 
  very 
  

   long 
  and 
  broad 
  base 
  rarely 
  reach 
  two 
  inches 
  in 
  length.
