Note 107 — THE ARTS AND THEIR DISTRIBUTION. (continued 2)

Some perforated stones that will not come under any of these heads are here noted separately under the National Museum numbers:

131614. An elliptical piece of steatite, with notches at each end for suspension, “tallies” all around the edge, and four holes on the longer axis.—Bradley county, Tennessee.

62879. A steatite ornament, shape like a bird’s head.—Jefferson county, Tennessee.

131856. A short, wedge-shape ornament of barite, drilled at the larger end.—Loudon county, Tennessee; also a similar but much larger ornament of indurated red clay, possibly catlinite, from a mound in the same county, represented in figure 149. The edges of the holes are much worn by a cord.

90847. A small ellipsoidal steatite bead, with several deep incisions around the edge.—Kanawha valley, West Virginia.

116335. A small marble bead; form like the rim of a bottle mouth.—Bradley county, Tennessee.

113943. Three small pendants of cannel coal. One is in shape like the keystone of an arch, with hole at smaller end; the other two are apparently in imitation of a bear’s tusk.—Kanawha valley, West Virginia.

91761. A limestone celt, 6½ inches long, either much weathered since made or else never highly polished, with a large hole drilled in from both sides at the center.—Bartow county, Georgia.

116067. A sandstone celt, with a hole drilled near one corner at the top.—Loudon county, Tennessee.

97764. A large polished piece of steatite, curved from end to end, or claw-shaped. One end is pointed; the other blunt and rounded, with a hole drilled through it.—Caldwell county, North Carolina.
