and a fishing hamlet well provided with flat sinkers. An ordinary 

 village site had early relics. A large site was found on the south 

 side of Fish creek near the mouth, with a cemetery, and he reports 

 another cemetery. 



2 Graves with European articles were found in 1891 near the 

 shore of Oneida lake. A fort and burial place were two miles 

 south of Oneida lake on Oneida creek of which the writer has 

 often heard. Schoolcraft said that traces of the fort still existed. 

 It was on the farm of James Sterling a little south of Oneida Valley, 

 near the southeast angle of the lake. On the east side of the 

 creek skeletons and recent relics occur. This may have been the 

 village at the lake mentioned in Belletre's expedition. 



3 Indians lived in Annsville quite recently. At the forks of 

 Fish creek hearths were exposed by the washing of the banks and 

 large potsherds were found three feet under ground. Stone im- 

 plements occur in the town. — Jones, p. 82, The Oneidas held their 

 annual fishing feast here in the spring, using hurdles. — Jones, p. 71 



4 W. S. Valiant reported many camps and relics as well as 

 burial places in and about Rome. The finer relics do not appear, 

 as the tide of early travel did not set that way. Some banks near 

 Rome are of doubtful origin. 



5 Burial place of whites and Indians west of Fort Bull and south 

 of the canal. 



6 Camps on Canada, Mud and Whittle's creeks and on Brandy 

 brook near Rome. Small sites are frequent and were explored by 

 Mr Valiant.

 Holland Patent, near the mouth of the creek. The sites in this

 H. A. Pride of Holland Patent.

9 One at Trenton village four miles east of Holland Patent and 

 on Cincinnatus creek.
