Abstract
I FIND, after a careful perusal of the sixteenth chapter of Mr. Evans's magnificent work on British Stone Implements—on javelin and arrow-heads—that he has considered the American forms far more uniform, less varied in outline than they really are.

In these several collections is every form that Mr. Evans has figured, and several that he has not mentioned.
