ornamented with dots and lines. Fig. 95 is remarkable for its 

 material, being of oyster shell. The eyeballs are strongly marked, 

 and it has been broken off at the hinder limbs. This is in the 

 Dann collection. Fig. 96 is another good example of the turtle 

 ornamented with half circles and dots. It is from Pompey, and 

 was in the collection of the late L. W. Ledyard of Cazenovia. Fig. 

 74 is another rude example from Pompey^ possibly early. Fig. 

 102 is an animal form from a Cayuga grave, and may have lost its 

 head, necessitating a new perforation. It is ornamented with dots 

 in rows. Fig. 100 is a beaver with its scaly tail, and is from the 

 Ganagarae site, lot 13, East Bloomfield. It is made of a very 

 durable shell, and is 1.75 of an inch long. The neck is perforated 

 as usual. 



Fishes have no significance as clan totems, but good examples 

 occur in shell and stone. Fig. loi is one from Cayuga. They all 

 have two vertical perforations, one on either side of the dorsal fin. 

 Fig. 104 is of one broken at the forward hole. Fig. 212 is from a 

 reduced photograph of the same. It was found at Indian Castle, 

 Pompey, and was therefore made in the last half of the 17th cen- 

 tury. With the following two it is now in the Bigelow collection. 

 All three are from Pompey. Fig. 59 lacks the dorsal fin, and the 

 holes are on either side of the ventral fins. It is quite suggestive 

 of the sturgeon, but lacks some features. Fig. 105 is much the 

 finest of these, possibly intended for a black bass in spirited action. 

 It is of a hard and highly polished shell, and is ornamented with 

 diagonal lines inclosing dots. 



Cylindric pendants are not common or large, as few shells would 

 afford material for these. Fig. 6y and 71 are of two in the Hild- 

 burgh collection and are i inch long. Both are from the McGure 

 farm, Hopewell. Fig. 31 is of another, quite large and thick, which 

 came from the Van Arsdale farm, Fleming (N. Y.) Those which 

 are thin and flat are much more common. Fig. 32 is large, angular 

 and flat, with one perforation in which is a copper ring, and come§ 

 from Indian hill, Pompey. Fig. 78 is of nearly the same form, 

 but is thin and has a small perforation at each end. It is In th^
