There are some small State reservations 

 in Maine, New York (including Long 

 Island), Virginia, and South Carolina. 



Indian reservations in Canada, especi- 

 ally in the western part, appear to have 

 been formed for bands or minor divisions, 

 seldom for entire tribes, and the land set 

 apart was usually a small area, sometimes 

 not exceeding 4 acres, due to the fact 

 that the Indians were simply confirmed 

 in possession of their residence tracts in- 

 stead of being collected on reservations 

 especially established for such purpose. 

 These tracts appear to have been reserved 

 in some instances in accordance with 

 treaties, in some by special act of Parlia- 

 ment, in some by the decision of the mili- 

 tary council, and in others by an Indian 

 commissioner. Special names were usu- 

 ally given, but the reservations of each 

 province or district were numbered. The 

 reservations in the Dominion number 

 several hundred. (c. t. )

Rhyolite. A variously colored volcanic

 sively employed by the tribes of the Mid- 

 dle Atlantic states for making the larger 

 varieties of flaked implements. It occurs 

 in large bodies in South mtn. and other 

 Eastern Slope ranges to the n. and s., 

 where it is usually grayish, sometimes 

 purplish-gray in color, and shows scat- 

 tered whitish crystals of feldspar. Native 

 quarries have been located on the moun- 

 tain slope near Fairfield, Pa., and it is 

 assumed that the countless implements of 

 this material found throughout an exten- 

 sive region to the s. and e. down to the 

 Atlantic coast came largely from this 

 source. Noteworthy in the distribution 

 of these quarry products are numerous 

 caches of long slender unspecialized 

 blades ranging from a few specimens to 

 two hundred or more. Consult Holmes 

 in 15th Rep. B. A. E.,1897. (w. h. h. )
