  Fig. 
  292 
  is 
  a 
  heart-shaped 
  medal, 
  with 
  an 
  embossed 
  heart 
  in 
  the 
  

   center, 
  and 
  a 
  dotted 
  border. 
  It 
  was 
  found 
  at 
  Scipioville. 
  Fig. 
  293 
  

   is 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  place, 
  and 
  is 
  larger 
  than 
  most 
  examples. 
  It 
  is 
  

   elliptic 
  in 
  outline, 
  with 
  a 
  fine 
  half 
  length 
  figure 
  and 
  a 
  partially 
  effaced 
  

   inscription 
  relating 
  to 
  Francis 
  Xavier. 
  Fig. 
  301 
  came 
  from 
  the 
  

   same 
  site 
  and 
  is 
  octagonal. 
  A 
  fine 
  bust, 
  with 
  raised 
  hand, 
  has 
  an 
  

   inscription 
  around 
  it, 
  of 
  which 
  " 
  Francis, 
  Ora 
  P." 
  can 
  yet 
  be 
  read. 
  

   Fig. 
  302 
  is 
  a 
  fine 
  example 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  place 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  form. 
  

   A 
  cross, 
  with 
  a 
  halo 
  of 
  rays, 
  is 
  above 
  what 
  may 
  be 
  either 
  altar 
  or 
  

   font, 
  on 
  either 
  side 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  kneeling 
  figures. 
  Fig. 
  295 
  is 
  

   another 
  octagonal 
  medal 
  from 
  Cayuga 
  county, 
  with 
  the 
  bust 
  of 
  a 
  

   man 
  and 
  a 
  child. 
  Fig. 
  299 
  shows 
  both 
  sides 
  of 
  an 
  elliptic 
  medal 
  

   from 
  a 
  small 
  site 
  near 
  the 
  entrance 
  of 
  Onondaga 
  creek 
  into 
  the 
  lake, 
  

   and 
  which 
  was 
  much 
  frequented 
  about 
  the 
  year 
  1700. 
  On 
  both 
  

   sides 
  are 
  figures 
  apparently 
  in 
  ecclesiastical 
  garments, 
  with 
  hoods 
  

   thrown 
  back. 
  The 
  inscriptions 
  are 
  partly 
  effaced, 
  but 
  the 
  following 
  

   may 
  be 
  traced 
  on 
  one 
  side: 
  S. 
  IO. 
  . 
  . 
  . 
  ANNES 
  . 
  . 
  . 
  CAPISTR. 
  

   On 
  the 
  other 
  appears 
  S. 
  P. 
  A. 
  S. 
  (a 
  chalice 
  here 
  in 
  the 
  border) 
  

   CHALIS. 
  S. 
  . 
  . 
  . 
  ON. 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  prominent 
  loop 
  above. 
  

  

  An 
  elliptic 
  silver 
  medal, 
  recently 
  found 
  in 
  Pompey, 
  is 
  too 
  much 
  

   defaced 
  for 
  definite 
  description. 
  

  

  Two 
  brass 
  medals 
  are 
  in 
  Mr 
  Stanford's 
  collection 
  at 
  Munnsville. 
  

   Fig. 
  385 
  is 
  the 
  largest 
  of 
  these, 
  and 
  has 
  on 
  one 
  side 
  a 
  head 
  of 
  Christ 
  

   with 
  a 
  halo. 
  The 
  inscription 
  is 
  IESVS 
  FILIVS 
  DEI. 
  On 
  the 
  

   reverse 
  is 
  a 
  head 
  of 
  the 
  Virgin 
  Mary, 
  also 
  with 
  a 
  halo, 
  and 
  the 
  words 
  

   MATER 
  DEI. 
  Fig. 
  384 
  is 
  a 
  smaller 
  medal, 
  with 
  the 
  Virgin 
  and 
  

   child 
  on 
  the 
  obverse. 
  On 
  the 
  reverse 
  is 
  the 
  sun 
  above, 
  and 
  below 
  

   this 
  a 
  figure 
  which 
  may 
  be 
  altar, 
  candlestick 
  or 
  font, 
  being 
  somewhat 
  

   worn. 
  On 
  either 
  side 
  is 
  a 
  kneeling 
  angel. 
  

  

  A 
  fine 
  brass 
  medal 
  was 
  found 
  by 
  the 
  Rev. 
  W. 
  H. 
  Casey 
  at 
  Union 
  

   Springs, 
  in 
  the 
  autumn 
  of 
  1902. 
  It 
  is 
  in 
  excellent 
  preservation 
  and 
  

   is 
  1^ 
  inches 
  long, 
  including 
  the 
  loop, 
  and 
  nearly 
  i-J 
  wide. 
  On 
  one 
  

   side 
  is 
  a 
  fine 
  head 
  of 
  Christ 
  and 
  SALVATOR 
  MUNDI 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  

   other 
  a 
  head 
  of 
  the 
  Virgin 
  Mary 
  and 
  MATER 
  CHRIST! 
  It 
  was 
  

   seen 
  too 
  late 
  to 
  illustrate 
  here.
