HAFTED CELT FROM A POND AT THORNDALE, DUTCHESS, CO., N. Y. Length of celt 16.G cm. 5. Groove encircling blade. 6. Ridged groove encircling blade. A seventh type, having a double groove encircling the blade, ma3roccur in this territory, but has never been reported.

During the summer of1908, the Eastern Cree living in the vicinity of the southern end ofHudson Bay told the writer that their ancestors, who made and usedsuch axes, hafted them by splitting a stick and setting the blade in it,then binding the handle together with deerskin (probably rawhide)above and below the split. No specimens of the grooved axe in theoriginal haft seem now to be extant from any locality in
