the right side of the cranium. The third skeleton, an adult male, was 

 hdng in the same position, at a depth of 22 inches. From near the 

 right side of the head was taken a vessel, with a base or pedestal, the 

 only one of this peculiar form 3'et found (fig. 26); beneath the cranium 

 was a small discoidal stone and a bone fish hook. 



The principal discoveries during the next ten da3's were ash pits of 

 about the usual size and contents, excepting one opened on the 17th, 

 which was oblong, and larger than usual, being 8 feet in length, 6 feet 

 wide and 4 feet 3 inches deep. 



On October 18th, a group of ten skeletons was discovered. The first 

 was an adult female, 5 feet 6 inches in length, in horizontal position 

 head south, with a small, nearlj^ perfect vessel at the head. Next was 

 an adult male, in a doubled-up position, head west. On removing this 

 skeleton, the lower extremities of a third were found; following these 

 bones in an easterly direction, the spade struck a vessel which had 

 been deposited near the left hip. After taking this vessel out, another 

 skeleton, lying north and south, with head toward the south, was 

 found, the lower extremities of which extended over the chest of the 

 third skeleton, which was lying east and west. No. 5 was a large 

 m^le skeleton, 6 feet 3 inches in length, lying horizontally, head north- 

 west, considerabl}^ deeper than Nos. 3 and 4, but about the same level 

 as the first and second, and immediatel}^ below this was another (No, 

 6), extending eastwardly, the cranium of which was missing; several 

 ash pits were located in this trench, from which mau}^ fine relics were 

 taken. On the 23d, skeleton No. 7 was uncovered at the same depth 

 as No. 6, head northwest. 



From an ash pit opened on Friday, was taken a singular ornament 

 made of elkhorn, which ma}' have been utilized as a comb (fig. 27).
