C Relics of the Stone Age in Jhew (Brunswick . 7 
at any one point exhibit much variety, and include objects 
of ornament, amusement and the like — or still further, when 
they are accompanied by layers of charcoal, by hearthstones, 
or by other portions of dwellings, as well as by the remains of 
animals used as food, there can be little hesitation in 
regarding them as places of frequent if not permanent resort. 
In a very few instances the articles found show by their 
character or associations that their positions are those of 
sepulture. 
The articles found upon the sea-coast differ, both in 
character and mode of occurrence, from those of the interior 
and the river valleys. They are usually confined to particular 
sites, and these show beyond question that they were at least 
the positions of summer encampments, if not places of more 
permanent occupation. Their most marked feature is the 
occurrence of great numbers of refuse shells, forming “ shell 
heaps ” or kitchen-middens, similar to those now so well 
known as occurring along the entire length of the Atlantic 
coast, as well as in Denmark and other countries. The num- 
ber of stone implements found in these heaps is much less 
than in the interior, while they appear to be much more 
productive of articles composed of shell and bone, as well as 
in the remains of animals such as may have been used for 
food. In one instance the remains of a pre-historic village, 
embracing evidences of a number of associated dwellings, 
have been observed, and after careful exploration by members 
of the Society, have been described in their Proceedings. 
The articles to be described in the present paper are for the 
most part those of Groups I. and III. of the classification above 
given. 
ARTICLES OF STONE. 
Arrow-Heads. These are probably the most common 
as well as the most widely distributed of stone implements. 
They are also those in which symmetry of outline and skill 
in workmanship are most conspicuously displayed. They 
differ, however, very greatly in this respect among themselves, 
as they do both in form, size and colour; passing insensibly,.
