THE STONE AGE IN NEW JERSEY. 217 
Fig. 70 represents an allied yet much handsomer form, which 
is quite rare and so far has been always found (by us) in a frag- 
mentary condition. It is simply an enlargement for spear pur- 
poses of a common form of arrowhead. The workmanship of 
this specimen excels that of the preceding, which may, however, 
be due to the greater tractability of the mineral. Like the other 
spear we have figured, this specimen as a hunting implement 
or weapon in war is very formidable. With the ordinary force of

allied, however, to it. This specimen is broader and has 
longer. The base is merely a straight, narrow tang and suggests
