ing large quantities of human bones. Squier records this site and 

 Harris (22) also mentions it. 



" On the shore of Lake Ontario on a high bluff near Irondequoit 

 bay in 1796 the bank caved off and untombed a great quantity of 

 human bones of a large size " (Turner, P. & G., p. 428). It was a 

 natural sand mound west of the present west angle of the bay. **As 

 late as 1830 human bones of an unusually large size were occa- 

 sionally seen projecting from the face of the bluff or lying on the 

 beach ", (Harris, p. 22). Others are placed under this number. 

 " Two mounds occupy the high sandy grounds to the westward of 

 Irondequoit bay where it connects with Lake Ontario. They are 

 small, the largest not exceeding 5 feet in height." They had been 

 opened and only charcoal and pieces of bones remained. Early 

 relics were on this height (Squier, p. 56-57, pi. 7, no. 2). Squier's 

 plan is given in figure 57. They were on the hill south of the Sea 

 Breeze hotel about 30 feet northeast of the observatory. Harris 

 was told that W. H. Penfield opened them in 1817 and found a 

 " sword scabbard, bands of silver, belt buckles " and like ornaments 

 (Harris, p. 46). There was a gulley east of these and a cemetery a 

 few rods beyond. 



36 Earthwork at Hanford's Landing west of the Genesee, in 

 Rochester. Squier (58) says it was a semicircular embankment. 



37 There were camps at the Lidian spring, at the corner of Spring 

 slreet and Spring alley, and all the way thence to Hanford's. 



38 At the upper Charlotte ferry and nearby have been found 

 arrowheads and stone pestles, bullets etc. (Harris, p. 43). 



39 Indian huts were scattered about the bluff near Franklin and 

 North St Paul streets until 1819 (Harris, p. 39-42). 



40 Village site in Gates on Corn hill in the city of Rochester. 

 Two occupations are evident, one early and one late. There was a 

 spring here. 



41 Cache on the west bank of Irondequoit bay where Harris found 

 more than five hundred cache blades all covered with red pigment. 



42 There is a village site along the bank here. 



43 Burial site near trolley station on the bluff above Irondequoit 

 bay and near Sea Breeze. 



44 Burial site at the sand cut of the New York Central Railroad 

 east of the Aliens creek embankment. Many skeletons and recent 

 relics were exhumed in 1876. '' Between the cemetery and the 

 Pittsford road quantities of stone relics have been found, indicating 

 the site of a prehistoric town. West of this is located the great 

 cairn of limestones" (Harris, p. 43).
