NOTES ON THE IMPLEMENTS OF STONE, POTTERY, 



AND OTHER OBJECTS OBTAINED IN NEW 



MEXICO AND ARIZONA. 



During the several field-seasons, particularly those of 1873, '74, and 

 '75, a number of valuable and interesting objects were obtained in New 

 Mexico and Arizona, especially by the party to which Dr. Yarrow was 

 attached, that gentleman being constantly on the lookout for objects illus- 

 trative of the archaeology and ethnology of the region through which he 

 passed. A portion of this collection was placed in my hands with a few 

 brief notes, which are here reproduced with slight descriptive additions. 

 Many other specimens, I understand, are contained in the collections of the 

 Smithsonian Institution. A number of the objects collected were beauti- 

 fully represented in water colors by Mr. H. J. Morgan, under the direction 

 of Dr. Yarrow, and a portion of these have been accurately reproduced on 

 the accompanying colored lithographic plates representing some of the 

 forms of implements made of stone. 



Plate XVI* contains representations, of natural size, of seven imple- 

 ments which can well be classed as knives and spearheads. Fig. 1 is a 

 beautifully-chipped knife or spearhead obtained from the Pueblo of Taos 



* Reference figures are not given on these plates; therefore, in referring to the plates, I have 

 in each case designated the figure in the upper left corner as Fig. 1 and counted to the right and down 

 the plate iu natural order. The short description given of each object will make the reference clear in 

 doubtful cases.
