  a 
  flat 
  piece 
  of 
  lead, 
  bent 
  over 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  be 
  double 
  throughout. 
  Com- 
  

   pare 
  this 
  with 
  fig. 
  374. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  229 
  is 
  from 
  Tribes 
  Hill, 
  in 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  valley, 
  and 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  

   Richmond 
  collection. 
  The 
  figures 
  are 
  in 
  relief, 
  and 
  the 
  edge 
  taste- 
  

   fully 
  wrought. 
  The 
  center 
  is 
  irregularly 
  perforated. 
  Fig. 
  231 
  is 
  

   from 
  Indian 
  hill 
  in 
  Pompey. 
  It 
  has 
  the 
  figures 
  12 
  above, 
  and 
  below 
  

   46J 
  in 
  early 
  characters. 
  On 
  the 
  reverse 
  is 
  a 
  broad 
  loop 
  for 
  attach- 
  

   ment. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  232 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  writer's 
  possession, 
  and 
  was 
  found 
  at 
  Boughton 
  

   hill 
  in 
  Victor. 
  It 
  was 
  formed 
  by 
  welding 
  two 
  flat 
  pieces 
  of 
  lead. 
  

   These 
  have 
  come 
  apart, 
  and 
  the 
  side 
  having 
  H 
  on 
  it 
  forms 
  a 
  flat 
  

   ring, 
  the 
  inner 
  line 
  of 
  which 
  crosses 
  the 
  H 
  and 
  forms 
  a 
  circle, 
  out- 
  

   side 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  ornamental 
  work. 
  On 
  the 
  reverse 
  79 
  appears 
  above 
  

   a 
  line, 
  and 
  other 
  characters 
  below. 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  long 
  loop 
  for 
  sus- 
  

   pension. 
  Fig. 
  233 
  was 
  furnished 
  by 
  Mr 
  James 
  Nelson, 
  of 
  Cold 
  

   Spring 
  N. 
  Y. 
  It 
  was 
  found 
  on 
  an 
  open 
  air 
  workshop, 
  on 
  the 
  farm 
  

   of 
  Charles 
  De 
  Rham, 
  but 
  probably 
  had 
  no 
  connection 
  with 
  it. 
  It 
  

   is 
  pyriform 
  in 
  outline, 
  and 
  flat. 
  There 
  are 
  inscribed 
  characters 
  on 
  

   both 
  sides 
  and 
  ornamental 
  work 
  about 
  the 
  base. 
  Mr 
  Nelson 
  wrote: 
  

   " 
  It 
  seems 
  to 
  me 
  it 
  might 
  have 
  been 
  made 
  from 
  a 
  musket 
  ball 
  by 
  

   one 
  of 
  the 
  few 
  Indians 
  that 
  lingered 
  about 
  the 
  coves 
  of 
  the 
  Hudson. 
  ' 
  r 
  

   There 
  would 
  seem 
  to 
  be 
  too 
  much 
  metal 
  in 
  it 
  for 
  this 
  origin, 
  but 
  

   an 
  ounce 
  ball 
  would 
  spread 
  over 
  a 
  considerable 
  space. 
  

  

  Several 
  similar 
  medals 
  from 
  Pompey 
  were 
  placed 
  in 
  the 
  writer's 
  

   hands 
  after 
  the 
  foregoing 
  were 
  described. 
  All 
  either 
  were 
  or 
  had 
  

   been 
  double, 
  with 
  projections 
  behind 
  for 
  attachment. 
  Two 
  are 
  

   nearly 
  alike, 
  and 
  may 
  be 
  compared 
  with 
  the 
  one 
  belonging 
  to 
  Mr 
  

   Moseley. 
  In 
  the 
  best 
  preserved 
  of 
  these 
  is 
  a 
  castle 
  in 
  the 
  center, 
  

   with 
  several 
  turrets. 
  Fig. 
  374 
  is 
  of 
  this. 
  The 
  other 
  shows 
  three 
  

   small 
  crosses 
  on 
  an 
  elevation 
  below 
  and 
  in 
  front 
  of 
  this. 
  This 
  

   centerpiece 
  is 
  inclosed 
  by 
  two 
  circles 
  of 
  points, 
  now 
  bent 
  out 
  of 
  

   shape. 
  Between 
  these, 
  on 
  the 
  left, 
  are 
  the 
  letters 
  CAM; 
  then 
  a 
  

   crown 
  in 
  the 
  center 
  above, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  right 
  of 
  this 
  the 
  letters 
  PEX. 
  

   Fig- 
  398 
  shows 
  the 
  other, 
  with 
  the 
  central 
  perforation, 
  the 
  back 
  

   having 
  disappeared. 
  It 
  has 
  the 
  same 
  letters 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  position, 
  but
