ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT. XXVII 



on Patuxeiit river, also many village sites along the James, 

 most of them mentioned and located by Capt. John Smith, 

 were visited and examined. These include " Chesapeack," on 

 Lynnliaven bay, Virginia; "Nandsamund," on Chuckatuck 

 creek, west of Norfolk; Jamestown island; "Chawopo," 

 "Paspahegh," and "Quiyoughcohanock," near Clearmont; 

 "Weanock," on Eppes island, opposite City Point; and "Pow- 

 hatan," just below Richmond. The art remains procured 

 fi'om these historic James river sites are identical in nearly 

 every respect with the Potomac and Chesapeake relics, a fact 

 which bears strongly on the question of the unity of the 

 art products and the identity of the peoples of the tide-water 

 country. 



WORK OP MR. GERARD FOWKE. 



Mr. Gerard Fowke entered upon his duties as assistant 

 archeologist on May 1, 1891. He began at once the explora-

WORK OF MR. HENRY L. REYNOLDS. 



Mr. Henry L. Reynolds was the only one of the former 

 assistants in the Mound Division retained on the archeo- 

 logic field work. He was engaged during the early part of 

 the last fiscal year in making examinations and' resurveys of 

 certain ancient works in Ohio, and in the spring of 1891 was 

 sent to South Carolina to examine several important Avorks in 

 that state. Owing to severe illness, which terminated in his 

 death (on April 17, 1891) while in the field, this last trip was 

 not productive of scientific results. By the death of Mr. Rey- 

 nolds the Bureau has lost a skillful and industrious member, 

 and archeology an enthusiastic student. For some time jsre-
