PENDANTS MADE OF BONE 
The specimens made from the proximal phalanges of the deer, described 
under ‘ ‘Games, ” and illustrated in Plate XXIII, figures 5 and 6, may have 
been pendants. 
WRISTLETS OR ARMLETS 
The specimen of thin bone, illustrated in Plate XXII, figure 10, which 
seems to be derived from the outer wall of a rib, may be a fragment of an 
armlet or wristlet; the small hole near the end has been broken out. 
Bone wristlets, some of them with ornamentation, have been found in 
Oxford, 1 Elgin, 2 and Wentworth 3 counties, Ontario. 
BEADS MADE OF SHELL 
A broken bead, illustrated in Plate XXII, figure 13, had been manu- 
factured from a small ocean shell ( Marginella apicina). The suspension 
hole was made by grinding off one side of the spire. 
A bead made from the same kind of shell was found at a later Neutral 
village site on lot 10, con. VIII, Blenheim tp., Oxford co. 4 
Although two shells of freshwater snails were found (one Pleurocera 
subulare, the other possibly P. elevatum ), neither appears to have been 
perforated, as are some specimens from sites in Blenheim township and in 
Waterloo county. 5 
BEADS MADE OF BONE 
Eight whole and thirteen fragments of beads, made from short sections 
of hollow bird bones, vary from f- inch to 2§ inches long, and from to 
|-inch wide. Several kinds and sizes are seen in Plate XXII, figures 14 
to 22. 
Figure 14 shows one of two fragments of the shortest beads. The 
marks of cutting have not been effaced on the specimen illustrated in 
figure 15. There is a deep, transverse cut, about an eighth of an inch from 
each end, one of which can be seen on the side illustrated. The polished 
bead seen in figure 16 is made from a section of a tibio-tarsus, possibly of 
the wild turkey. Figures 18 and 21 illustrate crude beads, apparently 
derived from the humeri of two different species of birds. The specimens 
seen in Figures 19 and 20 are made from bird ulnse, and retain the character- 
istic row of elevations or muscular attachments, along one side of the bone. 
The ends of the one in figure 20 have been only slightly smoothed. The 
longitudinal striae, visible on the sides of the longest whole bead, illustrated 
in figure 22, were probably made with a scraper. 
Hollow bone beads are common at later Neutral sites in Oxford and 
Waterloo counties, and belong also to other Iroquoian cultures in Ontario 
and in New York.
