They are found in New England, the Middle Atlantic States, Florida, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, California, and it would seem that they are likely to occur in other localities in the United States. They also have been recorded for all eastern Canadian provinces as well on the Northwest Coast. In addition, the Eskimo in many cases have “plummet-stones” which in instances are very similar to the bola stones. |
