The Peabody Museum has lately received an interesting and extensive collection of stone implements from some large aboriginal quarries near the village of Mill Creek, Illinois. The collection includes finished and unfinished implements of all sizes and shapes, and flints like those from which they were made, by flaking them off with stone hammers.
