No. 7 is a ball of limestone, grooved like No. 6, Florida. 
No. 8 is a grooved quartzite hammer-stone. Probably these 
implements were hafted by passing a withe around the groove. 
Country blacksmiths and plate-layers on railroads still haft their 
hammers in this manner. A modern iron hammer, mounted 
in a withe, may be seen in Case C 42, No. 34. 
No. 9 is an egg-shaped object of limestone, Ohio. No. 10 
is a conoid-shaped object of mica slate, Ohio. No. 1 1 is a 
similar object to No. 10, made of ferruginous rock, containing 
quartz, &c., Ohio. No. 12 is an object similar in form to Nos. 
10 and II, but more carefully finished than they are, and made 
of haematite, Ohio. These objects are classed by Dr. Davis 
as mullers for grinding paint. Neither of the three speci- 
mens, Nos. 9 to II, are worn on the under surface, so that if 
intended for mullers they have not been used. No. 13 is a 
ball of haematite, with the under side flattened, Ohio. This 
specimen may have been used as a muller; the under surface 
has been considerably worn, and if the mass was rubbed down 
wdth water, the muller itself would have furnished a red paint 
for the decoration of the person or weapons. Pieces of haematite, 
supposed to have been used for paint, have been met with in 
the caves of France, Tablet 8, Case B 13, and in the Swiss 
lake-settlements. Tablet 31, Case B 27. No. 14 is a similar 
object of haematite to No. 13, Ohio; this specimen shows wear 
upon the under surface. No. 15 is an irregularly-shaped mass 
of haematite, exhibiting traces of rubbing at various parts, 
perhaps produced in preparing red paint ; it was found in Ohio. 
No. 16 is a geode of impure red haematite of oval form, with 
similarly shaped sandstone core ; the natural form of this object 
possibly suggested its use as a plummet, Ohio. No. 17 is part 
of a plummet-like object of gneissoid rock, Ohio. No. 18 is a 
similar object to No. 17, made of limestone, Virginia. No. 19 
is a portion of a similar object, with worked knob at one end ; 
it is made of gneissoid rock, Virginia. No. 20 is a similar 
object of limestone, Florida. No. 21 is a plummet-like object 
of haematite, grooved at the lesser end, Ohio. No. 22 is a 
plummet-like object of talc, grooved at one end, and with the 
other end worked to a corresponding blunt point, Ohio. No. 
23 is a fusiform object of quartzose rock, grooved at one end 
like Nos. 21 and 22. This specimen has a projecting ridge 
carried round the middle, and is ornamented with lines of red 
paint. The straight side shown in the figure is flattened. No. 
24, object of highly ferruginous mica schist {?), Ohio. No. 25,
