ABORIGINAL OCCUPATION OF NEW YORK 65 
is given in fig. 31. Mr Sackett found many iron axes there but 
no bank. 
24 A point with a bank 15 rods long near H. Silverheel’s house 
east of Cattaraugus creek with bone pits and European relics. Fig. 
85 is a sketch of this by Mr Sackett. 
25 Mr Sackett reported a mound a mile farther south, and Mr 
Cheney gives others or perhaps the same. His plan is in fig. 25.— 
Cheney, p. 38, pl. I, no. 2 
26 Forest Lawn group in Buffalo, east of Black Rock, embracing 
eight small sites. 
27 At some distance north of the mouth of Cattaraugus creek, 
where a road approaches the shore, was an early village. Another 
was near the creek, northeast of Irving. Visited by the writer 
with Dr R. M. Evarts in 189. 
28 Near schoolhouse no. 1 was a village between the creek and 
road. Southeast of this was another near the creek, possibly 
fortified. 
29 Due east of the last was an earthwork on the edge of the bluff 
and half a mile from the creek. 
30 Another fort was half a mile farther east, and half a mile 
beyond is a remaining mound about five feet high. It is in a level 
field. Dr R. M. Evarts, of Silver Creek, was the writer’s guide 
through this interesting group. Mr Cheney reported a mound and 
excavation in this vicinity, p. 39, pl. I, no. 3. Fig. 26 is taken from 
this. 
31 L. W. Calver found a large workshop in the village of Will- 
iamsville, with local and foreign materials. 
Some supplementary remarks may be made on Erie county, 
founded on the local collections of the Buffalo society of natural 
sciences. A string of rice shells, tinged with copper, came from 
a grave on Barnard street. Village sites east and southeast of 
Buffalo had early flint articles. Similar sites were north of the city, 
and others in the Parkside district and on Seneca street and on the 
Abbott road. A site on the Indian Church road was of a mixed 
character. The articles were mostly of the Iroquois type but there 
were early scrapers in the refuse. At this place and one other, 
perforated Melantho shells were found.
