Since the bulletin on bone articles was prepared, a number of- 

 interesting relics have been reported. The finest of these are in the 

 small collections of L. William H. Klinkhart and his friends, in 

 Canajoharie N. Y., and were all found in that vicinity. The writer 

 has examined some of them. One small and broad bone comb has 

 three human heads projecting above the upper rim in a curved line. 

 This is about if inches high. Another terminates above in a long- 

 bodied quadruped in a standing posture. Below the opening are 

 two human faces. This is more than double the length of the last, 

 being over 3 inches high. It is from Wagner's hollow. Another 

 may be a pin, or part of a comb with a single long and perfect tooth 

 remaining. One tooth certainly has been lost, but the fracture has 

 been repaired, and the part is neatly finished where it might have 

 widened into a comb. The top curves, and two human faces arc 

 in the open work below the upper rim, as in the last. This fine 

 article is 3'f inches high, and came from the Otstungo site. Its 

 importance is in showing the resemblance of some work on this 

 early site to some of clearly historic date. 



A human figure of horn has the hands under the chin, and the 

 head is disproportionately large. It is 2 \ inches high and was found 

 at Wagner's hollow. There are the usual awls; perforated beaver 

 and elk teeth, cylindric bone beads, perforated deer phalanges, some 

 of which are fine. The longest awl is over 8 inches in length. One 

 conical bone point has a lateral perforation.* This article is over 

 3 inches long, and came from the recent site in Rice's woods. 



One fine bone harpoon has two long barbs on one side, and i? 

 perforated. At the broad base are longitudinal grooves, like those 

 on a harpoon of Mr Richmond's from the Mohawk valley, but more 

 and longer. Another of the same length is about half as wide at 

 its plain base. This has two barbs on one side, and on that edge is 

 a projection in which is the perforation. These notable harpoons 

 are each 6£ inches long, and come from Wagner's hollow, where 

 others have been found. 



The occurrence of a much worked Fulgur carica on the Cayadutta 

 site is of interest, as marine shells are rare on early Iroquois sites in 

 New York. The base, outer whorl and some projections have been 

 cut away, and a long slit cut in the remainder toward the base. The
