Fig. 52 is an antler prong with a rounded point, found by Dr 

 Hinsdale in Pompey, on the Sheldon site. It is safe to assume that 

 this was used in a war club, as all of like character probably were. 

 Many such forms will be left unnoticed. 



Fig. 53 is usually termed a punch, without further suggestions of 

 use. It gradually expands toward the larger end, which is neatly 

 worked and almost flat. The smaller end is as neatly rounded, the 

 general form being cylindric. This is from the recent site in Rice's 

 woods, near Stone Arabia. Fig. 83 is a bone implement in the 

 Waterbury collection at Brewerton. It suggests a small pestle, 

 and is nearly square in section, having the edges and ends rounded. 

 Fig. 87 is a Mohawk bone article in the Richmond collection, nicely 

 worked and cylindric throughout. At one end the cylinder is 

 abruptly enlarged, and both ends are neatly cut. Fig. 90 is a long 

 and thick cylindric bone, which is imperforated. It is well worked, 

 and the ends well rounded. It is in a Buffalo collection. 



Fig. 91 is a very long cylindric bone punch, from the fort near 

 Pompey Center. It expands slightly toward one end, and very 

 much toward the other. Fig. 92 is a long, slender and cylindric bone 

 implement, slightly curved. Near each end of the concave edge is 

 a sharp notch. This is not perforated, and is one of four of various 

 lengths, taken from a grave near Rochester Junction by C. F. 

 Moseley of Bergen !N". Y. The grave contained European articles. 

 The other bone relics were shorter and thicker, evidently intended 

 for beads but not perforated. 



Fig. 96 is flat and thick, parallel sided, and with the ends nicely 

 rounded. Dr Hinsdale found this at Brewerton, and with it two 

 others, differing only in being shorter. 



Fig. 97 may be a broken pin, having a thick and angular head. 

 The general form is cylindric. It is in the Richmond collection, 

 and came from Richmond Mills, Ontario co. Bone fishhooks were 

 found with it. Fig. 99 is a cylindric bone, expanding into a 

 broad, flat and curving edge. The small end is neatly rounded. It 

 is from the recent site near Stone Arabia. Fig. 100 is a fine curved 

 and cylindric bone pestle, found with a bone mortar at the Garoga 

 or Ephratah fort, in Fulton county, by S. L. Frey. It is very 

 neatly worked.
