writer found only a few at a site near Lanoraie, about 40 miles east of 
Montreal. They are also scarce at other sites of the Mohawk-Onondaga 
group in eastern Ontario, Quebec, and New York. Very few have been 
found at Onondaga sites in Jefferson county, New York (Harrington, 5:329, 
335) ; one site near Black river yielded only seven points, all but one of the 
triangular type (Skinner, 4:165). Very few, also, have been found at 
pre-European Huron sites in Victoria county, but they are more common 
at Neutral sites in southwestern Ontario. 
SIMPLE BONE POINTS FOR ARROWS 
These consist of twenty-seven objects of bone pointed at one end and 
with either a wedge-shaped, obtusely pointed, or notched base. Plate I, 
figures 8-10 and 19, shows a few specimens, which although they may have 
served as awls or punches, represent those about which there is the least 
doubt as to their use also as projectile points. One, not illustrated (Cat. 
No. VIII-F- 10845;), made from a splinter, has a wedge-shaped base, 
which could readily be inserted in the cleft end of an arrow-shaft. The 
shape of the butt of another specimen (Cat. No. VIII-F-11748 ) likewise 
suggests that it was possibly a point for an arrow and intended to be 
fastened in the same manner as the one just described. The tip of a shorter 
and more slender specimen than the last (Cat. No. V1II-F-1 1969) seems 
almost too delicate for use as a projectile point, except possibly for the 
shooting of birds. The double-pointed specimen in Plate I, figure 8, is the 
largest one from the site. The symmetrically proportioned specimen in 
Plate I, figure 9, has the basal half roughened, probably to hold the lashing 
that kept the point in place in the shaft. Figure 19 shows a specimen that 
is much expanded near the middle. Only two of the specimens are notched 
to facilitate their attachment to the arrow shaft. One of these, which is 
shown in Plate I, figure 10, retains the marrow hollow of the bone on one 
face. The short incised lines near the left edge probably have no sig- 
nificance, although they may be tally marks. There can be no doubt 
as to the purpose of a much smaller point with two notches on each edge 
(Cat. No. VIlI-F-9453). Its sides have been rubbed down even and slop- 
ing toward the base, so that it is wedge-shaped as seen in profile. 
The specimen with a single barb-like shoulder on one edge, seen in 
Plate I, figure 13, may also have been a point for an arrow. 
No arrow-heads fashioned from distal phalanges of the deer, similar 
to those found at the Baum village site in Ohio (Mills, 3:53, and Figure 36), 
were found here. 
HOLLOW BONE POINTS FOR ARROWS 
There are forty-eight points made by cutting off the joints at each 
end of a hollow animal bone, bringing one end to a sharp point, and in 
some cases barbing by hollowing the base; another specimen is in Mr. 
White's collection. 
Twenty-nine, or about 62 per cent of the total number found, are 
whole or nearly whole; fifteen of the broken specimens have the tips 
missing, and five others have part of the butt missing. Five of the speci- 
mens are probably derived from bird bones, three apparently being humeri,
