  of 
  dark 
  green 
  jasper, 
  and 
  was 
  found 
  on 
  a 
  small 
  camp 
  site 
  on 
  the 
  

   Seneca 
  river. 
  It 
  is 
  broadly 
  flaked, 
  and 
  the 
  upper 
  end 
  is 
  notched 
  as 
  

   if 
  for 
  suspension. 
  The 
  remarkable 
  features, 
  however, 
  are 
  the 
  angular 
  

   central 
  projection 
  of 
  the 
  broad 
  scraper 
  end, 
  and 
  its 
  continuance 
  on 
  

   either 
  side 
  beyond 
  the 
  lateral 
  lines. 
  The 
  length 
  is 
  one 
  and 
  seven 
  

   eighths 
  inches. 
  It 
  is 
  greatly 
  to 
  be 
  desired 
  that 
  this 
  unique 
  article 
  

   should 
  be 
  recovered, 
  from 
  its 
  local 
  and 
  general 
  value. 
  For 
  the 
  

   present 
  the 
  finder 
  can 
  only 
  depend 
  on 
  his 
  record 
  and 
  figure. 
  

   Notches, 
  apparently 
  for 
  suspension, 
  are 
  sometimes 
  found 
  in 
  these 
  and 
  

   other 
  articles. 
  

  

  Stemmed 
  scrapers 
  often 
  have 
  the 
  outlines 
  of 
  arrows, 
  and 
  are 
  dis- 
  

   tinguished 
  only 
  by 
  the 
  edge. 
  Some 
  were 
  made 
  from 
  broken 
  arrow- 
  

   heads, 
  and 
  these 
  are 
  readily 
  identified 
  by 
  the 
  under 
  surface. 
  Fig. 
  193 
  

   is 
  like 
  the 
  long-stemmed 
  bunts, 
  but 
  is 
  a 
  true 
  scraper, 
  somewhat 
  

   coarsely 
  chipped. 
  This 
  variety 
  has 
  been 
  described 
  in 
  New 
  Jersey 
  

   and 
  elsewhere. 
  The 
  material 
  is 
  a 
  grey 
  flinty 
  limestone, 
  two 
  inches 
  

   long, 
  which 
  is 
  larger 
  than 
  the 
  ordinary 
  size. 
  A 
  long 
  and 
  ruder 
  one, 
  

   however, 
  also 
  from 
  the 
  Seneca 
  river, 
  is 
  three 
  and 
  one 
  quarter 
  inches 
  

   in 
  length. 
  It 
  is 
  quite 
  thick, 
  and 
  has 
  an 
  unusually 
  long 
  stem. 
  

  

  Others 
  of 
  this 
  general 
  form 
  have 
  a 
  slightly 
  expanded 
  base, 
  as 
  in 
  

   the 
  bunts. 
  Fig. 
  194 
  is 
  a 
  good 
  example 
  of 
  these, 
  of 
  brown 
  flint, 
  one 
  

   and 
  one 
  eighth 
  inches 
  long, 
  which 
  comes 
  from 
  the 
  Seneca 
  river. 
  A 
  

   frequent 
  short 
  and 
  very 
  wide 
  form 
  has 
  some 
  general 
  resemblance 
  to 
  

   these, 
  but 
  is 
  in 
  many 
  ways 
  quite 
  distinct. 
  They 
  suggest 
  what 
  is 
  some- 
  

   times 
  called 
  the 
  sheaf 
  of 
  wheat 
  pattern, 
  and 
  are 
  often 
  made 
  of 
  the 
  

   bases 
  of 
  broken 
  arrows, 
  but 
  the 
  form 
  was 
  often 
  the 
  original 
  design. 
  

   Fig. 
  195 
  is 
  a 
  good 
  example, 
  and 
  quite 
  thick. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  common 
  horn- 
  

   stone, 
  seven 
  eighths 
  of 
  an 
  inch 
  long, 
  and 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  quarter 
  inches 
  

   wide, 
  but 
  the 
  base 
  does 
  not 
  expand 
  below 
  the 
  broad 
  shoulders, 
  and 
  

   presents 
  a 
  rounding 
  outline. 
  Fig. 
  196 
  is 
  broader, 
  being 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  

   half 
  inches 
  wide, 
  with 
  the 
  same 
  length. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  drab 
  flint, 
  more 
  

   angular 
  than 
  the 
  last, 
  and 
  has 
  distinct 
  barbs 
  and 
  an 
  expanding 
  base. 
  

   It 
  was 
  always 
  a 
  scraper. 
  This 
  is 
  true 
  of 
  another, 
  even 
  more 
  angular, 
  

   made 
  of 
  dark 
  flint, 
  three 
  quarters 
  of 
  an 
  inch 
  long, 
  and 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  

   quarter 
  inches 
  wide. 
  Fig. 
  197 
  is 
  another 
  fine 
  scraper 
  of 
  this 
  type. 
  

   It 
  is 
  of 
  brown 
  flint, 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  eighth 
  inches 
  long, 
  and 
  one 
  and
