[Footnote N284: Figured in the Voyage of the _Vega_, vol. 1, p. 444, Fig. 1.] [Illustration: FIG. 138.--Hafted bone and stone adz. 1/3] [Illustration: FIG. 139.--Small adz-blade of green jade. 1/2] I have figured two more composite adzes, which are quite different from the rest. No. 89838 [1109], Fig. 140, has a blade of neatly flaked gray flint, but this as well as the unusually straight haft is newly made. These are fitted to a very old bone body, which when whole was not over 3 inches long, and was probably part of a little bone adz. There is no evidence that these people ever used flint adzes. Fig. 141, No. 89872 [785], is introduced to show how the native has utilized an old cooper’s adz, of which the eye was probably broken, by fitting it with a bone body. [Illustration: FIG. 140.--Hafted adz of bone and flint. 1/3] While the adzes already described appear to have been the predominating types, another form was sometimes used. Fig. 142, No. 89874 [964], from Nuwŭk, represents this form. The haft is of whale’s rib, 1 foot long, and the head of _bone_, apparently whale’s scapula, 5.6 inches long and 2.8 inches wide on the edge. There is an adze in the Museum from the Mackenzie River region with a _steel_ blade of precisely the same pattern. That adzes of this pattern sometimes had stone blades is probable. No. 89840 [1317], is a clumsily made _commercial_ tool of this type, with a small head of greenish slate. It has an unusually straight haft, which is disproportionately long and thick.
