CHISELS, KNIVES

as a warclub, the butt being inserted in
the end of a wooden handle. _ This speci-
men was found on the south bank of the
Fraser, near Lytton.

A chisel of more delicate proportions,
finely finished throughout its length, sym-
metrically tapering to a point at the butt,
slightly oval on one face and beveled on
both edges of the other, would seem to be
of the type that was inserted in a handle
of bone or of wood. The specimen illus-
trated (pl. vu, f) was dug out of a burial
mound on the north bank of the Fraser
river across from and above Lytton.

The Salish hereabouts designate a chisel
as mandu, and a jade or “greenstone”
chisel as sokald'ist tek manau, according
to Mr Teit.

KNIVES

In addition to celts, there have been
found a limited number of knives, drill-
points, and odd pieces, as above mentioned.
Pl. vu, a, illustrates a fine specimen of
knife of bright-green, translucent jade,
flecked with black; it is 3? in. in length,
