25 There were springs and camps on the west side of this creek 

 near a rift famous as a fishing place. — Harris, p. 43 



26 On a sand ridge in the town of Pittsfprd south of the Iron- 

 dequoit valley and a mile east of Allen's creek is a heap of lime- 

 stone boulders with no others near. The Indians looked on them 

 with reverence. — Harris, p. 21 



2y Greenhalgh said that Tiotehatton was 30 miles west of Cana- 

 gorah and had about 120 houses mostly large. Harris says 

 " Totiakton was distant from Gannagora just 11 miles in a north- 

 west direction. Its former site was located by O. H. Marshall in 

 1847." Its name alludes to the bend in Honeoye creek, on the 

 west bank of which it stood. Part of Mr Harris's general plan 

 of the site is given in fig. 61. " It is in the town of Mendon on 

 the northeasternmost bend of the Honeoye outlet two miles north 

 of Honeoye Falls exactly 12^ miles in an air line due south 

 of the center of Rochester. The ground has been under culti- 

 vation 75 years, yielding an annual harvest of antiquities. . . 

 Three cemeteries have been discovered. . . all skeletons 

 unearthed have been found in a sitting posture facing the east." 

 Mr Sheldon found a square stockade of half an acre on the edge 

 of the bluff and near the creek. It was " built of logs 12 feet 

 long, set closely together in the earth to the depth of four feet." 

 This is a very modern style, though Mr Harris thought it was 

 made just after De Nonville's invasion. — Harris, p. 58, 59. This 

 was La Concepcion of the Jesuits which was burned in 1687. Ac- 

 cording to George S. Conover it was removed to the vicinity 

 of Canandaigua and called the second Seneca castle. It was visited 

 by La Salle, and may have been abandoned soon after. 



28 Half a mile east of the village of Penfield on the bank of 

 Irondequoit creek was a sepulchral mound once about eight feet 

 high. There was a depression near showing whence the earth had 

 come. — Squier, p. 57, pi. 8. no. 3 



29 A few rods southwest of Rush Junction were many skeletons 

 of. a large race. There were many pipes and other relics. An 

 early cemetery half a mile southwest of this had hardly a perfect 

 skeleton, and no relics. A similar spot is half a mile directly south
