NOTE UPON ABORIGINAL IMPLEMENTS RECENTLY 
FOUND IN IRONDEQUOIT. 
By GeorGE H. Harris. 
( Aédstract.) 
This paper described a recent discovery in Irondequoit, of 
aboriginal relics consisting of war club heads, lead bullet, brass finger 
ring, 150 knife blades of flint, stone arrow finisher, and a quantity of 
war paint. The lead and rings are memorials of the early use of fire 
arms by the Indians, and of the christian labors of the Jesuit fathers 
in the ancient Seneca territory. The flint blades and paint were found 
in cache, and doubtless constituted the stock in trade of some stone 
worker of the first half of the 17th century. The find was exhibited, 
and the method of mounting stone implements illustrated by several 
articles shown. In this connection the speaker mentioned the marked 
distinction existing in certain forms of stone relics, assigning each to a 
special class.
