7 or 8 heads for spears, made of stone like flint or dark coloured quartz, 5 or 8 inches in length, 1 ¼ and 1 ½ inches in the broadest part, and ¼ of an inch thick, most finely pointed, and jagged like a saw at both edges in such a manner as to make a most desperate wound—the following is a rough representation of one, as it is fixed with gum, to the head of the spear shaft, the latter having an incision made to receive it.
