Articles seen among the natives at Cape Norton, not pur- 

 chased : — 

 Bows made of wood, knives, uniform and plain buttons, a sledge 

 made of two long pieces of hard wood. 



From beside an Esquimaux stone-mark, on the east side of 

 Montreal Island : — 

 Part of a preserved-meat tin, painted red ; part of the rim of some 

 strong copper case or vessel ; pieces of iron hoop, two pieces of flat 

 iron, an iron hook-bolt, a piece of sheet copper. 

 Articles seen about a snow-hut near Point Booth, not pur-

Eight or ten fir poles, vaiying from 5 feet to 10 feet in length, the 

 stoutest being i\ inches in diameter. Two wooden snow shovels about 3^ 

 feet long, and made of pieces of plank painted white or pale yellow; it oc- 

 curred to me that the pieces of plank might have been the bottom-boards 

 of a boat. There was abundance of wood fashioned into smaller articles.
