386 CERTAIN ANTIQUITIES OF THE FLORIDA WEST-COAST. 



Fig. 34 is a representation of a heavy Fulgur perversum from Goodland Point. 

 Part of the body whorl has been removed, as in other specimens, perhaps to facili- 

 tate balance, certainly to obviate the necessity of making a second hole through 

 the overlapping whorl. A small rude hole is above the periphery. Two round

perforations have permitted a handle to pass through to the right of the axis, 

 bringing the cutting edge, which is carefully ground from the inside, at an angle 

 to the handle. A third hole to the left of the axis was probably for additional 

 attachment of the handle. This implement was presumably a gouge. 



In Fig. 35 we have a Fulgur perversum from Goodland Point, showing a modi- 

 fication of the two preceding types. Round and carefully made holes would bring 

 a handle to the right of the column, at an angle to the gouge-shaped cutting edge, 

 but, in place of an additional hole for thongs to pass through to lash the handle, to 

 the axis, the upper part of the shell, including the spire, has been removed. This 

 is a common type along the west coast.
