CERTAIN ANTIQUITIES OF THE FLORIDA WEST-COAST. 391 



Fig. 39 shows a Fidgur perversum with notch and single perforation. So 

 much of the shell has been removed that the columella is exposed. The beak is 

 rounded. This implement, which is from Chokoloskee Key, was probably used as 

 a hammer. 



Fig. 40 gives a type frequently met with on the west coast, namely, the upper 

 portion of a Fasciolaria gigantea containing two holes for a handle, with the long- 

 axis extending from it, rounded at the beak by use as a hammer. This specimen 

 comes from Goodland Point.

Fig. 41, from Chokoloskee Key, shows a Fasciolaria gigantea with some- 

 what more of the shell, containing two perforations for a handle and a third to 

 allow a firmer attachment to the axis. Much of the beak has disappeared, probably 

 through use has a hammer. This type also is frequently met with on the west 

 coast. 



Fig. 42 represents a small and light Fulgur perversum from Fikahatchee Key, 

 with notch opposite the perforation. The beak is ground for use. A series of small 

 round holes encircles the shell above the shoulder. This specimen, which is 

 slightly foreshortened in the reproduction, is unique in our experience.
