hill of burial. The cross would indicate that it was for- 

 merly a Jesuit station. Next spring, the field, now a stubble, 

 will be ploughed, and I shall spend two or three days in

32. Beads of red pipe stone ; bone elegantly polished ; glass ; variegated 



shell, and brass and copper, found at different points of 

 Indian occupancy in the Genesee valley. 



33. A SECTION OF A CIRCLE, perforated near the rim with holes ; fragment 



of some unknown implement of red pipe stone, neatly cut 

 and polished ; and a large lead with a human head on one 

 side of it, delicately carved and exquisitely proportioned : 

 found in the old burial place of Cannewangus — that part of 

 it now embraced by the highway leading from Albany to 

 Buffalo, and disinterred by the plow, together with two 

 skeletons, by two men repairing the road.
