the next. Fig. 338 represents the crucifixion, with a bleeding heart 

 on each side. 



The following three are from the same place. Fig. 354 has a; 

 crown above and a star below. The intervening figure shows, 

 clasped hands. There were two of these, showing a neat border. 

 Fig. 355 has the Virgin and Child, with a cross above. Fig. 347 

 has a heart-shaped signet, with a neat border inclosing a large A. 

 No others have been observed like this. 



Fig. 333 is from Scipioville, in the same county, and is much like 

 fig. 330. Both have the fleur-de-lis beneath the L. Fig. 352 was 

 picked up by the writer by a Cayuga grave, where many others had 

 been found. At first sight there seemed to be an unfinished L, but 

 a comparison with some to follow will show that it is the base on, 

 which the large heart was often placed. 



There follow several from the McClure farm in Hopewell. Fig. 

 319 is a small ring with a head in profile. Fig. 320 is another fine 

 ring, with a Maltese cross within a circle. Fig. 331 has an angular 

 signet, with a plain border around a large L and a small heart. Few 

 rings occur on this site. 



Bronze rings have been abundant on some Oneida sites on Oneicla 

 creek, but most have disappeared. Two only will be mentioned 

 now, both being from Munnsville. Fig. 321 has I. H. S. in plain 

 characters, with a cross above. Fig. 358 is a small ring, with a pair 

 of compasses inside of a ring. 



Quite a number have been found at Brewerton, but of most of- 

 these neither figures nor descriptions have been secured. Fig. 315 

 has the 'unusual feature of a head with the face toward the outer 

 edge. The work is rude for there is a great difference in these 

 rings in every way. Fig. 359 has a very small signet for the size of 

 the ring, and on this are circles and lines variously arranged. In 

 1900 there were taken from one grave in that place, 35 of these 

 bronze rings, tied together with buckskin. 



Dr Hinsdale obtained some rings in Pompey. Fig. 278 is one of 

 these, and is a large pewter ring, with a double line of small pro- 

 jecting beads of the same material. Fig. 279 is a fine specimen,.
