  on 
  the 
  edge 
  of 
  Canajoharie 
  village. 
  With 
  it 
  were 
  iron 
  tools 
  and 
  an 
  

   R. 
  Tippet 
  pipe. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  246 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  Hildburgh 
  collection 
  and 
  was 
  obtained 
  at 
  a 
  

   recent 
  Oneida 
  site 
  near 
  the 
  lake. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  slender 
  cylindric 
  coil 
  of 
  v 
  

   thin 
  brass, 
  3 
  inches 
  long, 
  and 
  retaining 
  the 
  cord 
  on 
  which 
  it 
  was 
  

   strung. 
  Fig. 
  247 
  the 
  writer 
  picked 
  up 
  on 
  a 
  recent 
  Cayuga 
  site. 
  It 
  

   is 
  slightly 
  curved, 
  perhaps 
  by 
  use, 
  and 
  is 
  smaller 
  and 
  ruder 
  than 
  

   the 
  last, 
  Such 
  forms 
  have 
  been 
  abundant 
  and 
  were 
  easily 
  made. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  261 
  has 
  a 
  slight 
  resemblance 
  to 
  the 
  last, 
  but 
  is 
  unique, 
  so 
  

   far 
  as 
  known. 
  A 
  slender 
  wire 
  was 
  doubled 
  and 
  neatly 
  twisted, 
  mak- 
  

   ing 
  a 
  slender 
  link 
  about 
  2\ 
  inches 
  long. 
  Several 
  of 
  these 
  united 
  

   in 
  a 
  chain 
  made 
  a 
  graceful 
  necklace. 
  This 
  came 
  from 
  the 
  Smith 
  

   farm, 
  west 
  of 
  Fort 
  Plain. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  250 
  to 
  253 
  are 
  from 
  a 
  unique 
  lot 
  of 
  slender 
  silver 
  beads, 
  most 
  

   of 
  which 
  now 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  writer. 
  They 
  vary 
  somewhat 
  in 
  length 
  

   and 
  thickness, 
  some 
  being 
  no 
  thicker 
  than 
  the 
  common 
  knitting 
  

   needle 
  of 
  old 
  times. 
  Fig. 
  253 
  is 
  the 
  longest 
  and 
  thickest 
  of 
  this 
  lot,, 
  

   being 
  2.\ 
  inches 
  long. 
  They 
  are 
  plain 
  or 
  slightly 
  ornamented. 
  

   These 
  came 
  from 
  the 
  Onondaga 
  reservation. 
  Fig. 
  197 
  is 
  taken 
  

   from 
  Morgan's 
  figure 
  of 
  shorter 
  but 
  similar 
  beads. 
  In 
  the 
  latter 
  

   figure 
  the 
  slender 
  silver 
  tubes 
  were 
  divided 
  by 
  globular 
  glass 
  beads, 
  

   but 
  this 
  practice 
  did 
  not 
  prevail 
  among 
  the 
  Onondagas. 
  

  

  Three 
  illustrations 
  are 
  given 
  of 
  small 
  and 
  spherical 
  brass 
  or 
  copper 
  

   beads, 
  all 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  recent. 
  Fig. 
  240 
  shows 
  those 
  which 
  are 
  quite 
  

   small. 
  These 
  came 
  from 
  Boughton 
  hill 
  in 
  Victor, 
  and 
  they 
  are 
  of 
  

   the 
  17th 
  century. 
  They 
  are 
  now 
  in 
  the 
  Buffalo 
  collection, 
  and 
  are 
  

   but 
  little 
  larger 
  than 
  a 
  large 
  pin's 
  head. 
  Fig. 
  241 
  shows 
  five 
  out 
  

   of 
  a 
  lot 
  of 
  10 
  beads 
  in 
  the 
  Hildburgh 
  collection. 
  These 
  are 
  much 
  

   larger, 
  and 
  came 
  from 
  Ontario 
  county. 
  They 
  may 
  be 
  given 
  the 
  

   same 
  date, 
  as 
  silver 
  took 
  the 
  place 
  of 
  copper 
  and 
  brass 
  about 
  the 
  

   beginning 
  of 
  the 
  18th 
  century. 
  Among 
  the 
  poorer 
  Indians 
  they 
  

   may 
  have 
  continued 
  longer. 
  Fig. 
  242 
  shows 
  some 
  beads 
  from 
  the 
  

   Onaghee 
  site, 
  on 
  the 
  McClure 
  farm 
  in 
  Hopewell. 
  They 
  are 
  a 
  little 
  

   smaller 
  than 
  the 
  last 
  but 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  character. 
  These 
  also 
  are 
  at 
  

   Buffalo.
