29The incisor teeth of tiiis species, identified by 

 Dr. R. M. Anderson, of the iJiological Division, 

 Geological Survey, Canada, were recovered from 

 the faeces of some animal, probably the aboriginal 

 dog. 



soRepresented by a few molar teeth, a polished 

 perforated canine, and possibly by some phalanges. 

 Antlers were plowed up about one mile west of the 

 site some years ago. 



siRepresented by a few molar teeth and possibly 

 an astragalus and several phalanges. The wide 

 antlers are said fo have been plowed up in the 

 neighborhood of the site. Moose were killed by 

 Gallinee and his party in Lake St. Francis, about 

 sixty miles east of the site, in 1669. 



32Mr. Drummond was informed by an old hunter 

 that when a boy his father would bring in deer 

 with the horns standing "straight up from the 

 top of the head." The description at once suggests 

 caribou. A caribou killed at L'Orignal about 1859 

 is the nearest record of its occurrence in the Ottawa 

 valley. 



ssAlthough the skunk was eaten by some In- 

 dians and bones have been found on sites else- 

 where, no bones were found at the Roebuck site. 



34The wolverine may have ranged as far south 

 as the St. Lawrence valley, but no bones were 

 found at the Roebuck site. Dr. W. Brodie found 

 some bones in refuse heaps in York county, Ont., 

 which he thought were possibly those of this 

 animal. (See Annual Archaeological Report of the 

 Provincial Museum. Toronto, for 1901, p. .51).
