A considerable number of small triangular points have in the 
past been collected from an aboriginal village site located near 
the outlet of Wind lake, in Racine county. Some of these, 
in the writer’s possession, are delicate marvels of aboriginal 
workmanship, and do not exceed half an inch in size. Among 
them are a few of pentagonal shape. All are of a light brownish 
quartzite. Others have come from various sites in the Fox 
river valley, the Wisconsin valley and the Lake Michigan shore 
region. From certain sites on the shores of Lakes Buffalo and 
Winneconne, hundreds have been collected. Small triangular 
points with serrated edges are apparently of rare occurrence. 
Triangular points of larger sizes are also found. A few of 
these have indented bases. A series of five of these of a dark 
grayish color, possibly of the Portland quartzite, were found 
by the writer accompanying a burial on the extensive Two 
Rivers sites. One of the largest of these triangular points, in 
the Benedict cabinet at Waupaca, of the same material as the 
foregoing, measures 7% inches in length and 3 y 2 inches 
across the indented base. In the Vogel collection at Milwau¬ 
kee are several fine, large-sized triangular points. 
The stemmed forms of arrow and spear points are the most 
numerous. Many of these are rudely, some very well made. 
A small number have the shoulder produced to form a barb. 
Some fine examples of the stemmed forms in variously col¬ 
ored material are in the Logan museum at Beloit, in the 
Benedict collection, and in the H R. Denison collection at 
Milwaukee. A particularly large point from Keyesville, 
Richland county, in the possession of Rev. J. G. Lanrer, meas¬ 
ures nearly 7% inches in length and over 2% inches across 
the extreme width of its broad blade. Specimens with bev¬ 
eled edges are of very uncommon occurrence. 
The stemless or leaf-shaped foims are likewise quite nu¬ 
merous. The precise function of many of these is not always 
readily ascertained. Many, of crude workmanship, are evi¬ 
dently simply blank forms awaiting conversion into service¬ 
able implements. Quite a number are doubtless knives, and 
some may have served as projectile points. They range in 
size from l 1 /^ inches to over 6 inches. One beautiful ex-
