From M. L. Marks, Sixth Auditor's office, Post-Office Department, 

 Washington, I). C: Five gold ornaments from ancient graves in the 

 United States of Colombia. (Ace. 25150.) 



From Edward S. Thompson, Thoinpsontown, Pa.: Large collection of 

 aboriginal relics found along the banks of the Juniata River, between 

 Thoinpsontown and Port Royal; arrow and spear heads, perforators, 

 rude chipped implements, a chipped disk, notched sinkers, a polished 

 hatchet, fragments of steatite and pottery vessels, pieces of clay iron- 

 stone (slightly worked), and fossil shells; 408 specimens. (Ace. 25117.) 



From A. G. Carlisle, through Charles Seidler, No. 46 Eyot Gardens, 

 Hammersmith, London, England: A large collection of chipped imple- 

 ments, principally flakes, knives, crescents, etc., of agate, chalcedony, 

 jasper and chert, from caves in the Vindhya Hills, central provinces of 

 India. Discovered and collected by A. C. Carlisle, esq., late of the Ar- 

 chaeological Survey of India; 1,074 specimens. This is an interesting 

 and valuable acquisition to the Museum. Archaeological specimens 

 from India are hard to obtain, and previous to this occasion our repre- 

 sentation from this locality was extremely small — less than 100 objects. 

 The long, thin flakes and the crescent-shaped implements are the per- 

 fection of flint chipping. (Ace. 25122.) This collection is described in 

 a separate paper.

 bones of fishes, animals and birds, fragments of pottery, and parts of 

 two human skeletons; 433 specimens in all. (Ace. 25232.) This col-
