It is tliree and a quarter inches long, with a diameter in tiie middle of twoand a half inches—Geo. E. Laidlaw collection. 42 54 Victoria Sessional Tapers (No. 21). GAME Fig. 97. (Full Size). Similar in appearance as this specimen is in the engraving to fig. 93, it istotally ditferent in all but outline. Like fig. 93 it is water-worn and oval, butthe material and its treatment are quite unlike those of the former. In this casethe stone is calcareous, and the two sides have been rubbed down until they areconcave instead oi convex, and in the centre of each hollow a deeper one is sunkabout one-fourth of an inch and nearly a whole inch in diameter. Nearly allsigns of pecking have been removed in the rubbing process. As the material istoo soft to be used for a hammer the production of a disk was probably in aie indebted to Mr. Moses Barrowman of Buffalo, for this specimen, from theState of New York. FIGURED TOOL.
