THE STONE AGE IN NEW JERSEY. : 213 
In continuing the subject of arrowheads, we have a few words 
to say concerning certain forms that have more or less affinity to 
those already figured, but have peculiarities of their own, worthy 
of some special comment. The first of these specimens is illus- 
trated by figures 63 and 64. While bearing some resemblance 
to each other, they are not both fragments, as’ they appear; 
Figure 63 being evidently a finished specimen, as the base is 
chipped and not broken. This fact renders it probable that the 
other (Fig. 64) has had a chipped base of similar form, which has 
since been broken. Both have had, and one still has, a very good 
point. They are thick and heavy ; strong enough for harpooning, 
but are not long enough to penetrate sufficiently deeply to kill, 
Say a sturgeon or gar. When these were in use, our pickerel

may have been much larger than now, and in that case they would 
have been effective in spearing them, but are too cumbrous for 
the slender Esoces that are now found in our waters. In works 
on prehistoric remains, we do not find this form figured or de- 
scribed in either stone, bone, or bronze. Unless one or two frag- 
ments that we have belong to this form, we have never met 
with any other specimens than the two here figured. The speci- 
men given in Fig. 63 is of jasper and heavier in all its details than 
other ae is of lighter material and more smoothly chipped
