secretary of the Museum for his painstaking lahors in forwarding 

 this pubH cation. 



In the preparation of this work special credit must be given to 

 those who supphed extended manuscripts and unusual advantages 

 for studying the field and in examining large collections. Among 

 these have been Henry R. Howland, William L. Bryant, Frederick 

 Houghton and George L. Tucker, all of Buffalo ; Everett R. Bur- 

 master and Obed Edson of Chautauqua county; M. Raymond 

 Harrington and Alanson Skinner of New York; Alvin H. Dewey, 

 Harrison C. Follett, E. Gordon Lee, E. D. Putnam and M. L. 

 Baxter, all of Rochester; David R. Dorn, Adrian A. Piersoh and 

 Willard E. Yager of Otsego county; W. Max Schrabisch of Pater- 

 son, N. J., and finally to the dean of New York archeologists, 

 Dr William M. Beauchamp. All these persons have rendered a 

 service that has been of conspicuous value and one expensive to 

 themselves. With such moral and material backing it has been a 

 pleasant though lengthy task to prepare this bulletin. 



To all those who made it possible and to those who need the 

 guidance of its pages '' The Archeological History of New York " 

 is dedicated.
