a) represents a dagger, ten inches long and one inch wide where broadest.
The flat surface is corrugated, and on each side there is a
continuous ridge for a considerable distance, as if left by the imperfect
junction of the two parts of the flask. (Locality, Waukesha, Wis.)
b) is a chisel, seven inches long, one and a fourth inches broad at widest
point, and a little more than a quarter of an inch thick. Both of the
broad surfaces are roughly ridged, and the sides show the marks of a
mould. (Locality, Waterford, Wis.)
c) is a spear-head, with a haft for insertion into a handle. Length, nine
inches ; breadth, at the widest part, one and an eighth inch. The general
surface is quite smooth, showing little corrosion. On either side
there is a sharp ridge, which I think clearly indicates the marks left by
the mould. (Locality, Trenton, Wis.)
d) is an awl sixteen inches long, and three-eighths of an inch in its
greatest diameter. It is traversed longitudinally by three thin ridges,
such as would be left by a sand-mould now in use. Mr. Perkins had
another specimen, similar in design, three feet long, and nearly an
inch in its greatest diameter, which was unfortunately lost. (Locality,
Barton,Wisconsin.)
e) is a symmetrical spear-head, four and a half inches long. The surface
displays a set of delicate longitudinal lines, with the marks of the
mould strongly ridged on each side. (Locality, Farmington, Wis.)
f) is a spear-head, with a socket, five and a quarter inches in length.
The thrusting part is ground down smooth, and the socket, at the point
of attachment, has the appearance of having been cast, not formed by
hammering. There are seven indentations, which Mr. Perkins conjectures
were, perhaps, the record of events in the life of the possessor.
