  resembling 
  fig. 
  220 
  of 
  the 
  bulletin 
  on 
  earthenware, 
  with 
  several 
  frag- 
  

   ments. 
  Three 
  examples 
  of 
  a 
  curious 
  canoe-shaped 
  pipe 
  bowl 
  have 
  

   also 
  been 
  found 
  by 
  him. 
  Unio 
  shell 
  beads 
  are 
  also 
  now 
  in 
  his 
  

   collection. 
  

  

  Two 
  articles 
  are 
  of 
  high 
  interest, 
  though 
  simple, 
  and 
  will 
  be 
  illus- 
  

   trated 
  later. 
  They 
  are 
  of 
  carved 
  wood, 
  which 
  fire 
  has 
  charred 
  but 
  

   not 
  destroyed. 
  With 
  one 
  exception 
  they 
  are 
  probably 
  the 
  oldest 
  

   remains 
  of 
  this 
  kind 
  in 
  New 
  York. 
  

  

  Several 
  interesting 
  collections 
  have 
  been 
  examined 
  in 
  and 
  about 
  

   Glenville 
  N. 
  Y., 
  through 
  the 
  kindness 
  of 
  Mr 
  Percy 
  M. 
  Van 
  Epps. 
  

   In 
  one 
  of 
  these 
  is 
  a 
  woman's 
  knife 
  unfinished, 
  of 
  the 
  red 
  slate 
  of 
  

   Washington 
  county, 
  showing 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  made 
  not 
  far 
  away. 
  

  

  Several 
  fine 
  bird 
  pipes 
  of 
  stone 
  have 
  been 
  found, 
  one 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  

   in 
  Col. 
  Camp's 
  collection 
  at 
  Sacketts 
  Harbor, 
  the 
  gem 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  

   a 
  massive 
  and 
  highly 
  polished 
  stone 
  pipe 
  resembling 
  a 
  flying 
  squirrel. 
  

   It 
  is 
  6J 
  inches 
  long, 
  by 
  2§ 
  broad. 
  He 
  has 
  also 
  a 
  thin 
  and 
  highly 
  

   polished 
  stone 
  tube. 
  A 
  beautiful 
  shell 
  gorget 
  comes 
  from 
  Savannah 
  

   N. 
  Y., 
  and 
  is 
  nearly 
  4 
  inches 
  across. 
  Other 
  interesting 
  finds 
  will 
  

   not 
  be 
  mentioned 
  now. 
  

  

  At 
  the 
  last 
  moment 
  a 
  supplementary 
  note 
  seems 
  required. 
  In 
  Sep- 
  

   tember 
  1903 
  Mr 
  John 
  Mackay, 
  of 
  Niagara 
  Falls, 
  opened 
  an 
  ossuary 
  of 
  

   the 
  Neutral 
  nation 
  close 
  by 
  the 
  Tuscarora 
  reservation, 
  of 
  the 
  approxi- 
  

   mate 
  date 
  of 
  1620. 
  Iron 
  axes 
  and 
  brass 
  kettles 
  were 
  found 
  in 
  this, 
  

   shell 
  and 
  metallic 
  ornaments, 
  sword 
  blades 
  and 
  pipes, 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  

   glass 
  beads. 
  The 
  metallic 
  beads 
  were 
  made 
  from 
  strips 
  cut 
  from 
  old 
  

   kettles 
  and 
  rolled 
  into 
  cylinders, 
  from 
  2 
  to 
  11 
  inches 
  in 
  length. 
  Of 
  

   more 
  interest 
  were 
  24 
  rude 
  rings 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  material, 
  most 
  of 
  them 
  

   rolled 
  into 
  cylinders 
  and 
  bent 
  into 
  a 
  circular 
  form. 
  A 
  flat 
  one 
  served 
  

   for 
  a 
  finger 
  ring 
  and 
  still 
  encircled 
  the 
  finger 
  bone. 
  The 
  others 
  were 
  

   larger, 
  from 
  J 
  to 
  if 
  inches 
  across, 
  some 
  overlapping 
  and 
  some 
  just 
  

   meeting 
  at 
  the 
  ends. 
  A 
  large 
  one 
  is 
  2J 
  inches 
  across, 
  doubled, 
  beaten 
  

   flat, 
  and 
  then 
  brought 
  into 
  a 
  circle 
  like 
  the 
  rim 
  of 
  a 
  hat. 
  A 
  strip 
  of 
  

   metal 
  is 
  folded 
  over 
  the 
  ends 
  and 
  also 
  beaten 
  flat. 
  

  

  The 
  writer 
  obtained 
  one 
  unique 
  brooch 
  too 
  late 
  to 
  figure 
  or 
  describe, 
  

   to 
  which 
  reference 
  has 
  been 
  made 
  on 
  page 
  94. 
  It 
  may 
  be 
  called 
  of 
  a 
  

   diamond 
  form, 
  each 
  side 
  being 
  a 
  narrow 
  bar, 
  curved 
  over 
  outside 
  at 
  

   each 
  end 
  and 
  forming 
  a 
  short 
  hook. 
  It 
  measures 
  i£ 
  by 
  i\ 
  inches.
