grooves, and around the top is a narrow band and inside, another, 
both made up of short parallel lines. This jar is 9.5 inches in 
diameter at the largest part, and 7.5 at the mouth. The depth 
Fig. 5. is 9.5 inches. It is about one-fourth of an inch 
thick at the bottom, and half an inch at the top. 
It is in the ee ober of J. N. Pomeroy, Esq., of 
^ Burlington. 
| Fig. 3 represents a singular implement resem- 
"| bling a pick. It is made of a greenish sand- 
7 stone, and is as smooth as the material allows. 
The length is 8.25 inches. The ends are broad 
J and thin, but at the middle the thickness rapidly 
, increases, and at this point it is 1.75, while 
the breadth is 1.6 inches. The blunt points are 
| F smoother than the rest, bearing evidence of consid- 
erable use. This relic was found half a mile south of Burlington. 
Fig. 4is an implement the use of which can only be conject- 
ured.* Itis made from a light colored talcose slate, and is quite 
smooth. The middle is much thickened and perforated by a large 
hole .55 of an inch in diameter at the base, and somewhat less at 
the apex. From this central portion the sides diminish in thick- 
ness towards the edges where they are quite thin. The whole 
length of the implement is 4 inches ; the breadth at the top is 3.87 
inches, and at the bottom 1.5 inches. 
Fig. 5 is an arrow or spearpoint of unique style. The mate- 
rial is peculiar, being, instead of flint or some hard stone, of a 
compact, but not very hard, mica slate ~ a gray color. The 
surface is covered 
with the marks of the 
instrument used in 
making it, and is not 
at all smooth. The 
_ sides are straight, the 
point rather blunt, SO PD 
the barbs short, sharp and angular. The shank is thick and the 
edges bevelled. The sides of the shank are scalloped sharply and 
These perforated stones are often found and are of various shapes and sizes.
