pointing in a northeast direction, while the rest were 

 towards the southwest. 



No. 2 was found on its back, and had the frontal por- 

 tion of the skull badly crushed in. On the breast was 

 found a shell of Pyrula canaliculata, and under one side 

 of the jaw a small dark mass which on examination proved 

 to have been a pouch made of bear's skin, between the 

 folds of which two bones, of some small mammal, the 

 species of which has not yet been determined, were found. 

 Embedded in this mass, on the outside, were several small 

 copper tubes, one of them showing traces of the cord by 

 which they were fastened to the pouch. Behind the ear 

 were found several more of these tubes, making in all, 

 eight. These relics are evidently the remains of a pouch 

 ornamented by these tubes, that was hanging at the neck 

 when the body was buried. The tubes were from two 

 inches and a half to three inches in length, and from an 

 eighth to a quarter of an inch in diameter ; they were 

 made of very thin sheet copper, rolled up, with the edges 

 just lapped, but not fastened. 



Nos. 3 and 4 were facing each other, and with these 

 nothing was found. 



No. 5, which is not shown in the large photograph, 

 but the position of which is seen in the stereoscopic pic- 

 ture, consisted of but a mere handful of bones, and was 

 a little out of the line to the northeast of the others, its 

 head about on a line with the pelvis of No. 4. Across 

 the top of the head of this was found a stone pestle, six 

 inches and three-quarters long, and at the side of the skel- 

 eton numerous pieces of pottery, consisting of a small cup 

 nearly whole, which by careful measurement was found to 

 contain just a gill when perfect, and the fragments of at 

 least two other vessels, a small bell of European make, of 

 a flattened globular form, thirteen-sixteenths of an inch
