a flat piece of lead, bent over so as to be double throughout. Com- 

 pare this with fig. 374. 



Fig. 229 is from Tribes Hill, in the Mohawk valley, and is in the 

 Richmond collection. The figures are in relief, and the edge taste- 

 fully wrought. The center is irregularly perforated. Fig. 231 is 

 from Indian hill in Pompey. It has the figures 12 above, and below 

 46^ in early characters. On the reverse is a broad loop for attach- 

 ment. 



Fig. 232 is in the writer's possession, and was found at Boughton. 

 hill in Victor. It was formed by welding two flat pieces of lead. 

 These have come apart, and the side having H on it forms a flat 

 ring, the inner line of which crosses the H and forms a circle, out- 

 side of which is ornamental work. On the reverse 79 appears above 

 a line, and other characters below. There is a long loop for sus- 

 pension. Fig. 233 was furnished by Mr James Nelson, of Cold 

 Spring N. Y. It was found on an open air workshop, on the farm 

 of Charles De Rham, but probably had no connection with it. It 

 is pyriform in outline, and flat. There are inscribed characters on 

 both sides and ornamental work about the base. Mr Nelson wrote: 

 " It seems to me it might have been made from a musket ball by 

 one of the few Indians that lingered about the coves of the Hudson. "" 

 There would seem to be too much metal in it for this origin, but 

 an ounce ball would spread over a considerable space. 



Several similar medals from Pompey were placed in the writer's 

 hands after the foregoing were described. All either were or had 

 been double, with projections behind for attachment. Two are 

 nearly alike, and may be compared with the one belonging to Mr 

 Moseley. In the best preserved of these is a castle in the center, 

 with several turrets. Fig. 374 is of this. The other shows three 

 small crosses on an elevation below and in front of this. This 

 centerpiece is inclosed by two circles of points, now bent out of 

 shape. Between these, on the left, are the letters CAM; then a 

 crown in the center above, and on the right of this the letters PEN. 

 Fig. 398 shows the other, with the central perforation, the back 

 having disappeared. It has the same letters in the same position, but
