1 Many arrowheads and other articles are found around Spring 

 lake, in Conquest. They would naturally occur along the trails 

 leading to Lake Ontario. Some small burial mounds were a mile 

 south of this village, and there were also fireplaces and shells 

 toward the river. — Hinsdale 



2 There were camps on Rowland island, in the Seneca river, 

 and many relics have been found. 



3 J. V. H. Clark says that the Onondagas " had also cleared off 

 what is called the salt fields, in the town of Cato, and had a small 

 settlement there." — Clark, 2 1328 



4 On the west shore of Cross lake just north of the Seneca river 

 there is an early site with rude relics. 



5 A burial place was found at Bluff point east of the Seneca river 

 and near Fox Ridge in 1894. The relics were modern. The point 

 is " about 20 rods north of the Central Hudson railroad tracks, a 

 marsh separating them, and is parallel with the east bank of Seneca 

 river. It contains about 27 acres of gravelly soil." Tlie skeletons 

 were found at the extreme south point. This was probably the 

 burial place of Onontare. 



6 Squier described a small work six miles northwest of Auburn 

 and" three miles from Throopsville in the town of Mentz, and by 

 the road to Port Byron. Fig. 11 represents the plan on a scale 

 of 200 feet to the inch. " The work is built upon the crest of a 

 narrow ridge, which extends nearly north and south, and along 

 which the main road passes." The walls were then two or three 

 feet high. Some comparatively recent relics had been found, 

 as well as skeletons within and without the walls. There was one 

 gate. He thought this might be a work mentioned by Macauley 

 at Montezuma, which is four miles northwest and in the next town. 

 That work has not been found. 



7 There is a site of two acres in lot 28, Sennett, two miles north- 

 east of Auburn, with relics of earthenware and stone. 



8 The work at Fort Hill, Auburn, has been figured by Squier 

 and Schoolcraft, of which a small part remains in the cemetery in 

 front of the Logan monument. Fig. i gives Squier's plan which 

 differs slightly from the other. The wall was not continuous and
