. The Antiquarian [serial]. hed smoothness oftnose made of stone, or of the round, indented,discoidal stones made of the same hard-bakedpottery composition.—Editor.) Editor of The Antiquarian: There is a stone in possession of the Bureau ofEthnology similar to the one in possession ofMr. Hegler, which you illustrate on p. ,July Antiquarian. I sent the stone to the Bu-reau, I think, in 1890, but have seen no mentionnor description of it in any of the Smithsonianpublications. The stone mentioned was a little longer inthe greater and a little smaller in the lesserdiameter than the one you illustrate. Theopening was through the longer diameter, wasuniform in size, and the groove was parallelwith opening; material and finish identical withthe one you illustrate. I have not received fromthe Bureau any information in regard to its use,and do not care to venture an opinion. I presume that Frof. Powell or Prof. Holmesmight furnish a satisfactory answer to yourinquiry. A. J. MARKS. Toledo, Ohio. THE ANTIQUARIAN. 249. Editor of The Antiquarian: In the July issue of The Antiquarian , of Washington, Ohio, sends a sketch ofa polished slate specimen. I have three inmy cahinet; one from Coshocton, one fromKnox and one from Huron counties, Ohio. A^lihave grooves parallel to the opening throughthe center. W. C. MILLS. Chicago, Ohio. Editor of The Antiquarian: I have figures of two carved stones like theone figured and described by A. Hegler in JulyAntiquarian. One was offered me in Toronto,in August, ISSfl, by Mr. Merryweather of Onio,and was found in Batavia, in that state. Itwas of striped slate and one and half inches indiameter. General Thurston, of Nashville,bought it. Next day I found and figured anotherin the Canadian collection at Toronto, whichcame from West Williams, Lot 20, Conces-sion 18, and was larger, having a diameter ofone and seven-eights inches, not reckoningthe groove. Otherwise both were spherical,but a little depressed at the perforation.
