  In 
  1905 
  the 
  writer, 
  for 
  his 
  own 
  purposes, 
  made 
  trips 
  to 
  several 
  

   interesting 
  localities 
  and 
  collections, 
  securing 
  many 
  valuable 
  figures 
  

   and 
  descriptions, 
  a 
  few 
  of 
  which 
  will 
  be 
  briefly 
  mentioned. 
  The 
  

   valley 
  of 
  the 
  Genesee 
  river 
  furnished 
  many, 
  but 
  a 
  large 
  portion 
  of 
  

   these 
  are 
  relics 
  of 
  recent 
  times. 
  An 
  early 
  mound, 
  near 
  Mount 
  

   Morris, 
  was 
  examined, 
  and 
  both 
  its 
  structure 
  and 
  contents 
  were 
  of 
  

   great 
  interest. 
  It 
  was 
  about 
  30 
  feet 
  across, 
  and 
  among 
  the 
  remark- 
  

   able 
  features 
  had 
  a 
  well 
  laid 
  layer 
  of 
  cobblestones 
  some 
  distance 
  

   beneath 
  the 
  surface, 
  arching 
  and 
  covering 
  the 
  sepulcher. 
  A 
  beauti- 
  

   ful 
  mound-builder's 
  pipe 
  was 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  mound, 
  780 
  small 
  discoid 
  

   shell 
  beads 
  and 
  72 
  beads 
  of 
  river 
  pearls. 
  These 
  are 
  the 
  first 
  of 
  the 
  

   latter 
  reported 
  in 
  this 
  State. 
  In 
  another 
  mound 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  field 
  a 
  

   mound-builder's 
  pipe 
  and 
  a 
  native 
  copper 
  implement 
  were 
  also 
  

   found. 
  Some 
  curious 
  bone 
  implements 
  from 
  that 
  valley 
  have 
  not 
  

   been 
  published, 
  and 
  a 
  massive 
  grooved 
  ax 
  is 
  among 
  the 
  finds 
  there. 
  

  

  At 
  a 
  site 
  near 
  Richmond's 
  Mills 
  many 
  curious 
  bone 
  articles 
  have 
  

   been 
  found 
  almost 
  unique 
  here. 
  Fine 
  clay 
  pipes 
  occur 
  in 
  that 
  

   region. 
  In 
  Chenango 
  county, 
  along 
  the 
  Unadilla 
  river, 
  many 
  good 
  

   relics 
  were 
  seen, 
  valuable 
  more 
  for 
  locality 
  than 
  rarity. 
  Some, 
  

   however, 
  deserve 
  notice. 
  

  

  In 
  Jefferson 
  county 
  many 
  fine 
  and 
  absolutely 
  unique 
  relics 
  have 
  

   come 
  to 
  light. 
  After 
  the 
  publication 
  of 
  the 
  Perch 
  Lake 
  Mounds 
  

   the 
  writer 
  visited 
  the 
  ossuary 
  on 
  Chaumont 
  bay, 
  and 
  carefully 
  ex- 
  

   amined 
  the 
  remarkable 
  relics 
  found 
  there. 
  To 
  his 
  medical 
  friend, 
  

   Dr 
  Getman, 
  the 
  skulls 
  were 
  of 
  great 
  interest 
  from 
  their 
  injuries 
  

   and 
  aftergrowth. 
  Two 
  amulets 
  found 
  in 
  this 
  ossuary 
  are 
  believed 
  

   to 
  be 
  the 
  first 
  taken 
  from 
  a 
  grave 
  in 
  this 
  State. 
  One 
  of 
  them 
  is 
  

   very 
  broad 
  and 
  depressed, 
  being 
  quite 
  remarkable 
  in 
  form. 
  In 
  the 
  

   vicinity 
  of 
  Watertown 
  many 
  unique 
  pipes 
  and 
  bone 
  articles 
  have 
  

   come 
  to 
  light, 
  several 
  forms 
  appearing 
  which 
  are 
  as 
  yet 
  unpublished. 
  

   It 
  would 
  take 
  long 
  to 
  describe 
  them 
  adequately, 
  but 
  figures 
  were 
  

   secured 
  of. 
  a 
  large 
  number. 
  One 
  clay 
  pipe 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  a 
  sun- 
  

   fish 
  the 
  writer 
  did 
  not 
  see. 
  Not 
  the 
  least 
  of 
  these 
  acquisitions 
  were 
  

   some 
  European 
  cylindric 
  brass 
  beads, 
  from 
  sites 
  classed 
  as 
  pre-
