CHIPPED AND FLAKED IMPLEMENTS OF NEW BRUNSWICK. 41 
of this material was probably obtained at the aboriginal quarry 
on the south side of Washademoak Lake, described by Dr. 
G. P. Matthew.* 
On the plates accompanying this article are shown types of 
the flaked blades found in New Brunswick. On Plate I none 
of the specimens illustrated are over four and three-quarters 
inches in length. 
A very' large number of implements in the collection may 
be described as leaf-shaped. Examples are shown in Plate I, 
Figs. 6-10, and Plate II, Figs. 1-7. They range in length from 
one and three-eighths to eight and five-eighths inches. In this 
group we find nearly all the larger stone blades, and some of 
these are beautiful examples of the aboriginal implement maker’s 
art. 
Figs. 1-3 are leaf-shaped blades pointed at both ends. The 
collection includes twelve examples of this type ranging in 
length from one and three-quarters to six and one-quarter 
inches. Fig. 1 is a fine specimen of quartz, three and one-eighth 
inches in length, probably used as a knife. 
Fig. 2, of felsite. The specimen is typical of this class, 
eight of the twelve points in this group being similar to it in 
outline. 
Fig. 3, felsite, a slightly broader form. Only twelve lozenge- 
shaped blades (Figs. 4 and 5) are in the collection and these 
grade into the next group. 
Fig. 11 shows part of a long, narrow blade with straight, 
parallel edges two and three-quarters inches in length. The 
collection contains fourteen broken specimens of this type, 
all found in central New Brunswick. They are made of felsite; 
the rock is probably local. 
Figs. 12-13 show types of the triangular blades found in 
New Brunswick. The twelve specimens in the collection grade 
into the forms shown in Figs. 9 and 10. The base in each is 
thin and chisel-like but shows no evidence of having been used 
as a chisel. Four are of milky quartz, one of jasper, and four 
of felsite.
