140 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 



3 There was a village near the Narrows of" Black lake, and on a 

 hill east of Edwardsville. It was half a mile long and had the usual 

 relics. — Hough, p. 27 



4 There were obscure and perhaps recent paintings on the shores 

 of Black lake between Hammond and the Narrows. Similar 

 pictures occur on the Canada side of the St Lawrence. — Houghs, 

 p. 26 



5 Father Picquet founded the mission of La Presentation on the 

 site of Ogdensburg. Many Onondagas and Cayugas went there. 

 The fort became a thorn to the colony of New York. Sir Wil- 

 liam Johnson said that the Oswegatchies were mostly Onondagas 

 in 1763. These were at La Galette or Indian Point three miles 

 below Ogdensburg. 



6 The road passes through a semicircular work on B. Pope's land 

 in Oswegatchie. This is on lot 20 near Ogdensburg. Contrary to 

 custom the ditch was on the inside. — Hough, p. 22. This is shown 

 in fig. 70. 



7 Fred Howlett found Indian reHcs on the shore of Cran- 

 berry lake in 1892. 



8 There are several sites with fireplaces in Macomb not described 

 by Hough. Some forts he includes in his history and gives two 

 plans in the regents report for 1850. One is on the farm of William 

 Houghton and is north of the road near the east bank of Birch 

 creek. He called it semicircular, with the ends of the bank resting 

 on the creek. His plan in fig. 72 is very different. The area was 

 one and one half acres, with' pottery, steatite beads and stone imple- 

 ments. The northern counties are remarkable for these beads. — 

 Hough, p. 19 



9 There was a semicircular Vv^ork on a hill not far from this. It 

 was credited to Capt. Washburn's farm in Gouverneur before the 

 change in town lines. The account of rude sculpture is in- 

 correct. — Hough, p. 19-20 



10 Half a mile northeast of no. 8 was a work on the land of W. P. 

 Houghton and J. Sweet. It was irregularly oval and reached a 

 stream. Some ash-beds were 5 feet deep. A village site was near. 

 — Hough, p. 20
