Few are perfectlyformed, being varied to suit ideas of the makers as totheir form and shape. With the exception of two orthree points on the first range of the KittatinnyMountains, and among the bowlders along the Cone-wago, we have not been able to discover the work-shop of the arrow-maker. Limestone is abundant inthe county, and jutted out everywhere, while thepebbles of the Susquehanna furnished red and yellowjasper, which seem to have been selected as much fortheir beauty as for their utility. The art of arrow-making had been reduced to a perfect system, andwere shaped in accordance with the taste and fancyof the maker. As Professor Brunner aptly says, Itwas as easy for them to chip a large arrowhead down.
