Pendants. Pendants made from spiral shells are not common. 
Fig. 15 is of one found on a village site near Baldwinsville by the 
writer, and closely resembles one from Florida, figured as a sinker,. 
by Dr Rau. The outer whorl has been cut away and the lip 
notched. A groove has also been made for suspension. Fig. 16 
has been worked still more, forming a groove at each end. This 
is from Brewerton. Fig. 12 is less changed, but is perforated at 
the base for suspension. It was found by Dr A. A. Getman of 
Chaumont, at a camp near St Lawrence village. All these are pre- 
historic, but the first may be 350 years old. Fig. 28 is of a fossil 
bivalve from Seneca county, and the beak is perforated for suspen-

larger one were found in a stone grave near Beaver lake, a little 
west of Baldwinsville. Three large spearheads were with them, and. 
all must have been quite old. Fig. 124 is a disk pendant from: 
Honeoye Falls. Fig. 44 to 56 are mostly pendants figured in 
Schoonmaker’s History of Kingston. They are probably reduced, 
and may have been about the size of two similar articles in fig. 166 
and 168, which are from Honeoye Falls. Fig. 149a is a pendant 
from the Onondaga fort of 1696, as given by Schoolcraft. Fig. 
144a is a doubly perforated and grooved ornament from Honeoye 
Falls, and was probably a pendant. Fig. 80 is from Cayuga, and 
its use is more doubtful. Most of the 10 countersunk indentations 
end in a small perforation, and it is also grooved. Fig. 64 is a 
shell cross from Pompey. ‘There are dots at the ends of the arms, 
and others in the form of across. These were encircled with small 
rings, now worn away. It is in the Bigelow collection. 
The Cayugas used pieces of turtle shell for pendants. Fig. 148 
and 149 are of that material, and came from Union Springs. Fig. 
153 has but one perforation instead of two, and was found with
