point, one partially made arrow point, two "skin dress- 

 ers" and three narrow, flat stones smoothly finished and 

 with a hole bored through one end. The- smallest of 

 these stones is about twice as long as wide, and has a 

 blunt but sharpened edge. The other two are about half 

 as long again as the short one and are square edged, and 

 are also distinguished from the small one by the presence 

 of notches on the end where the hole is. One of them is 

 of a fine sandstone and was evidently used for the pur- 

 pose of sharpening other implements on. 



There were also three flat pieces of sandstone well 

 worn and grooved by serving as sharpening stones, and 

 also another smooth oval stone. 



Besides these stone implements and the pipes, there 

 were several quite large pieces of mica found in the 

 graves, and several of the implements, as well as the 

 earth taken from the bottom of the grave, are colored 

 quite red, evidently by red ochre being put in the graves. 



The only remains of the skeletons consisted of a small 

 portion of the skull found in one of the graves, and the 

 enamel of one molar tooth. All else had been reduced 

 to dust. The graves were on the top of- a large gravel 

 hill and had been scooped out, and after the body had 

 been put in the grave had been filled in with the surface 

 soil and not with the gravel taken out, as was distinctly 

 seen, as these graves were reached not by digging down 

 from the top but by coming on them from the side in dig- 

 ging away the hill, thus exposing them in section. A de- 

 tailed description of these relics, accompanied by figures, 

 will be given in the sixth volume of the American Natu- 

 ralist. '
