on which to carry the biu'nt boues into the chamber. The bono deliris was 

 all removed and carefully sifted through a fine riddle, and four pierced stone 

 pendants and ten beads were found (Plate XXIV, fig. 39). About twelve 

 fragments of pottery were also foimd ; these were in a most friable state, 

 and showed traces of burning. No attempted reconstruction of any of these 

 fragments has been successful, nor is it possible to say to how many or to 

 what type of urns they belonged. 



The floor of the central recess was covered to a height of about five 

 inches with burnt bone debris, mixed with stones. On the top of these 

 in the centre was a pile of flattish stones, two of which were rounded 

 intentionally (Plate XXV, figs. 9 and 10) ; the illustrations are one-sixth the 

 actual size of the objects. There was also a piece of white calcite. These 

 stones, like those in the left recess, appear to have been used as trays on 

 which to carry the burnt bones into the recess. Careful riddling of the bone 

 debris disclosed the following : — Three pointed bone implements (one being 

 made from the tibia of a Eed Deer), and a well-worked and finely pointed 

 implement made of hard slate (Plate XXIV, figs. 8, 9, 10, and 11) ; a sand- 

 stone pebble (Plate XXIV, fig. 26), and numerous fragments of much detrited 

 pottery. Three complete stone pendants, a broken one decorated with a 

 spiral groove, six complete and one broken bead, and four small rounded 

 pebbles were also found (Plate XXIV, figs. 29, 30, 24, 36, 37, and 38). 



The right recess of this earn was built up to the level of the sill with 

 stones, many of which were a foot long ; on the top of these were smaller 

 stones, and on them rested fragments of pottery. The layer of burnt bones 

 was level with the sill stone. Four large pieces of calcite, about one foot in 

 diameter, were removed from this recess ; three of them were considerably 

 rounded, probably by glacial action. Besting on the stones above the bones 

 were fragments of pottery, the largest being about four inches by three inches. 

 A partial reconstruction of these pieces has shown them to have belonged to 

 an urn of larger size than the ordinary food-vessel type (Plate XXV, fig. 8). 



Cam H. — As has been stated in the first portion of the report, the roof 

 of Carn H had fallen in, and the passage and cist were blocked with debris. 

 Both passage and cist contained burnt and unburnt bones ; the only objects 

 discovered with them were a small round stone ball and a sea-shell, Natica 

 catena (Plate XXIV; figs. 34 and 21). The latter had been so much worn down 

 on the under side as to make a hole, as shown iu the illustration. 



Cam K. — The floor of the chamber of this cam was covered with loose 

 stones and small fragments of burnt bones. Three stone pendants and a stone 

 ball were subsequently discovered here (Plate XXIV, figs 20 and 35). Eesting
