HORN AND BONE IMPLEMENTS 273 



honors with those of shell, while others but a few years earlier may 

 show only bone beads and ornaments. 



Fig. 124 is a long, straight and cylindric bone bead, found in 

 Pompey. , It is polished and slender, and has transverse diagonal 

 hues. Fig. 132 is from the same place, its outline being a long 

 ellipse. It retains its polish. Fig. 136 is a large and cylindric bone 

 bead from Pompey. It is a little curved, and the ends are well 

 finished. Fig. 137 is a straight and polished cylindric bone bead 

 from the same town. It is adorned with cross grooves. Fig. 138 is 

 another cylindric and curved bead in the Waterbury collection at 

 Brewerton. Long beads usually retain the curve of the bone, and 

 the perforation may be unaltered or enlarged. Fig. 174 is a short, 

 flattened cylindric bead found near the mouth of Perch river. 



Fig. 139 is of a different character, and is from the fort near 

 James ville, burned in 1696. It presents a rectangular outline here, 

 but is triangular in section, and was made with metallic tools. It 

 is in the Bigelow collection. Fig. 140 is a curious little ornament 

 or implement from the Atwell fort, un perforated, though a slight 

 depression may indicate a hole begun. It is foot shaped and 

 indented, and is now in the Burr collection. Perforated articles, 

 similar in form and size, have been used to keep open the slits 

 in noses and ears. One like the figure here given was found 

 in a mound on the Bay of Quinte, on the north shore of Lake 

 Ontario. 



Fig. 144 shows the end of a femur bone, worked and perforated 

 for suspension as an ornament. This was found by Dr Hinsdale 

 on the Sheldon site in Pompey. The outline is more elaborate and 

 the perforation larger than in several examples from another Pom- 

 pey site, a few miles away, and perhaps of 50 years' earlier date. 

 Fig. 356 to 361 are all from the Christopher site, and in the Bige- 

 low collection. Fig. 357 is a good example of the same ornament. 

 It is partly smoothed on the reverse, and has a small perforation, 

 like all others from this site. Fig. 358 has been ground smooth on 

 the reverse. Fig. 359 is perforated through the natural depression, 

 and smoothing has been begun on the other surface. Fig. 360 is 

 made from the concave capping of a joint. The natural surface is 

 here shown, slightly worked. On the reverse it is ground smooth.
