14 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE. 



papei's by Sir Daniel Wilson, Sir Duncan Gibb, Dr. Fairbanks, and 

 others. The ai-chteology of the Province of Quebec has been but 

 little considered. Numerous notices are to be found in Sir Win. 

 Dawson's "Fossil Man," Mr. A. Sandham's " Yille Marie," and the 

 pages of " Le Naturaliste Canadien " (by the Abbe Hevart and 

 others). The best view of the state of our archoeological knowledge 

 of New Brunswick is in the sketch by Mr. L. W. Bailey, in the 

 bulletins of tlie Natural History Society of New Brunswick for 

 1887. Other writers on New Brunswick archaeology are Prof. S. 

 Baird, who has written on its shell-mounds. Rev. Jas. Fowler, 

 A. C. Smith, and Gr. F. Mayhew. Rev. G. Patterson has, in the 

 Smithsonian report for 1881, given a summary of Nova Scotian 

 archaeology. In Manitoba, Rev. Prof. Bryce and Mr. Chas. N. Bell 

 have dealt with archseology, chiefly treating of the mounds. Other 

 writers on the archaeology of the North- Western portion of Canada 

 (and they are but few) are Donald Gunn, Jean L'Heureux, Rev. 

 John McLean, J. G. Swan, and Sir Daniel Wilson. The advant- 

 ages of a complete bibliogi-aphy of the archaeology of Canada aie 

 very great, and it is to be hoped that it will soon be completed. 

 The best idea of the archaeology of Newfoundland and Labrador is 

 to be gained from the articles on this subject by Mr. F. G. B. Lloyd, 

 in the Journal of the Anthropological Institute for 1875. 



Mr. Chamberlain also read a paper on " The Archaeology 

 of Scugog Island." 



He described the situation and contents of a number of graves 

 on Noncon Island, a portion of Scugog Island. Some 15 graves 

 had fiom time to time been found there, all containing skeletons, 

 but only three containing relics. In one grave were found a 

 hard stone chisel, some perfect and impei'fect shuttle-stones, several 

 fragments of deer's horn, some half-dozen flint arrow heads, a portion 

 of a bear's jaw, a piece of plumbago, a bone spear point, a bone 

 harpoon, a bone awl, and some other articles. Ploughed up in the 

 field at vai'ious times were found heavy stone chisels, whetstones, 

 shuttlestones, etc. A number of pieces of pottery were also found. 

 Noncon Island appears to have been the site of a pottery factory ; it 

 is probable also that flint arrow heads were made there. The graves 

 were situated some distance north of where the pottery was found.
