those of Ward E. Bryan of Elmira, R. E. Van Valkenburg of Mount 

 Upton and C. A. Holmes of New Berlin. Here, as might be ex- 

 pected, are many evidences of Algonkian occupation. Some of the 

 specimens appear to be early types as illustrated by the weathered 

 argillete and limestone chipped implements. 



Mr D. D. Luther during the year sent in 440 specimens from 

 an early Algonkian site near Naples, Yates county. Although 



Stone Face from Chemung County 



many of the specimens are fragmentary, for purposes of comparison 

 the collection is highly interesting. It was through Mr Luther that 

 the Museum has acquired the fine objects from the site near Middle- 

 sex. These specimens are largely tablet gorgets, stone tubes, shell 

 beads and a copper implement. The burials appear similar in type 

 to a certain Ohio culture. 



Ethnology. Two trips were made to the New York reserva- 

 tions and some valuable specimens of historic Iroquoian art obtained.
