upper groove, as if the core of the tooth had been burned by the grooving. 
On the reverse there are some very fine groovings across the enamel. 
All the grooves follow over the curve of the tooth, and are smooth as if 
made with some soft substance like a cord or thong. A canine tooth of 
a bear with a perforation through the root, evidently for use as a pendant, 
found in a shell-heap in Maine, is in the Peabody Museum, Cambridge, 
Mass. These perforated bear canines are like the toggles made of bear 
canines by the Montagnais Indians (Plate XXI, figure 6). 
The pendant made from a canine tooth (Plate XIX, figure 10) lacks 
both ends, but half of a conoid-shaped perforation shows on each side of 
the root end. The perforation seems to have been gouged from each end. 
The seal’s tooth (figure 11) has a hollow root, most of which is broken 
away at the tip, but in one side the thin wall has a perforation, apparently 
not drilled but cut, possibly for suspending it as a pendant. The pendant 
made of the incisor of a young moose (figure 8) with hollow root is perfor- 
ated from side to side through the root about a third of the way from its 
tip with an oval hole that was apparently whittled or gouged out. The 
tooth bears incisions between the root and the enamel, as if an attempt 
had been made to cut it in two at this place, so that it may not have been 
intended as a pendant. 
Possibly the perforated toe bones mentioned on page 80 (Plate XIX, 
figures 12 and 13) were used for pendants. The objects, one made of a 
canine tooth and others of bone (Plate VII, figures 5-8), may possibly have 
been hung like claws on a necklace. Though the object illustrated on 
Plate XIX, figure 19, may have been a pendant, more probably it was a 
rocking stamp used in the decoration of pottery. There is a small pendant 
made of stone from Nova Scotia in the Peabody Museum of Harvard 
University. 
No perforated gorgets of any kind, that may have been personal 
ornaments rather than religious objects, were found in the shell-heaps, 
although, as stated below, at least six have been found in Nova Scotia. 
Only one pin-shaped object made of antler (Plate XVI, figure 6), 
and none of bone or shell was found. This may have been an ear or nose 
ornament. 
Necklaces, if worn, were possibly made up of the objects of bone 
and teeth considered on page 67 (Plate VII, figures 5-8), or of perishable 
material such as seeds or leather, as no bone or shell beads were found. 
Necklaces may have had pendants of canine teeth of the bear and seal 
and incisors of the moose since these objects were found. 
GAMES, RELIGIOUS OBJECTS, PIPES, AND AMUSEMENTS 
Only two objects that may have been used in games were found. 
They are both of the same kind, and are discussed under ring-and-pin game 
(Plate XIX, figures 12, 13). 
Tubes and Cylinders. Bone tubes were not found, but the single 
pin-shaped object made of antler, mentioned on page 57 (Plate XVI, 
figure 6), may have been used in gambling.
