1 Many arrowheads and other articles are found around Spring — 
lake, in Conquest. They would naturally occur along the trails 
leading to Lake Ontario. Some small burial mounds were a mile 
south of this village, and there were also fireplaces and shells 
toward the river.—Hinsdale 
2 There were camps on Howland island, in the Seneca river, 
and many relics have been found. 
3 J. V. H. Clark says that the Onondagas “had also cleared off 
what is called the salt fields, in the town of Cato, and had a small 
settlement there.”—Clark, 2:328 
4 On the west shore of Cross lake just north of the Seneca river 
there is an early site with rude relics. 
5 A burial place was found at Bluff point east of the Seneca river 
and near Fox Ridge in 1894. The relics were modern. ‘The point 
is “about 20 rods north of the Central Hudson railroad tracks, a 
marsh separating them, and is parallel with the east bank of Seneca 
river. It contains about 27 acres of gravelly soil.”’” The skeletons 
were found at the extreme south point. This was probably the 
burial place of Onontaré. 
6 Squier described a small work six miles northwest of Auburn 
and three miles from Throopsville in the town of Mentz, and by 
the road to Port Byron. Fig. 11 represents the plan on a scale 
of 200 feet to the inch. “The work is built upon the crest of a 
natrow ridge, which extends nearly north and south, and along 
which the main road passes.” The walls were then two or three 
feet high. Some comparatively recent relics had been found, 
as well as skeletons within and without the walls. There was one 
gate. He thought this might be a work mentioned by Macauley 
at Montezuma, which is four miles northwest and in the next town. 
That work has not been found. 
7 There is a site of two acres in lot 28, Sennett, two miles north- 
east of Auburn, with relics of earthenware and stone. 
8 The work at Fort Hill, Auburn, has been figured by Squier 
and Schoolcraft, of which a small part remains in the cemetery in 
front of the Logan monument. Fig. 1 gives Squier’s plan which 
differs slightly from the other. The wall was not continuous and
