Sea 
37 David’s Island has yielded many arrowheads. A grave or pit 
on Hunter island had some fine articles, including a circular orna- 
ment of mica. On this island are several shell beds, one of which is 
covered at high tide. Arrowheads are frequent. 
38 A small village site at the end of Davenport’s neck, had 
grooved axes, celts, arrowheads and mortars and a little pottery. 
39 There are many shell beds along Hutchinson river and Pel- 
ham bay, on the east shore. One of these is some distance up the 
river. A group of six is a quarter of a mile above the railroad 
bridge, and they are about 12 feet across and a foot high. Another 
group still farther south, extends along the east shore of the bay 
below the foot bridge, for about 200 feet. The group includes a 
village site. South of a cove in the bay is an unexplored shell bed. 
Beyond this a small one with arrowheads and pottery. At the end 
of the point is a cemetery. Much farther north and on the east side 
of the point is another cemetery, three fourths of a mile south of 
Bartow station. The graves were on two knolls, about 50 feet in 
diameter. A shell heap, 40 feet across, lies behind the largest. A 
field by a small stream, half a mile north of Bartow station, has 
several shell beds. A great variety of relics has been found there. 
A small field, south of this and near it has many relics, and a shell 
bed. 
40 On the west side of Pelham bay, at the mouth of a brook one 
and one half miles south of Bay Chester station, are shell beds. 
41 Camp of 2 acres on Hutchinson river, a mile south of Pelham- 
ville station. There are but few shells, but many stone relics. A 
very small but similar site is opposite. 
42 A shell bed, 50 feet in diameter, is a mile south of Rye station, 
on the west bank of Blind brook. It has pottery and argillite arrow 
and spearheads. 
Mr Harrington furnished notes on some sites already mentioned, 
but these may be summarized in order. At Dobbs Ferry (4) and 
Irvington he had seen shell beds. Byram lake (22) has been raised 
and some land overflowed, but arrowheads still occur. Rye 
pond has also been raised, while Kirby pond has been drained. On 
Teller’s point, at the end of Croton neck, were two very large and
