Grave Number 1. Depth 36 inches. Young adult. Skeleton 

 flexed, face east, head south, arms partly extended, hands 

 between knees. No articles were buried with the body. 



Grave Number 2. Depth 30 inches. This had been opened 

 and probably rifled. 



Grave Number 3. Depth 30 inches. This also had been 

 opened. 



Grave Number 4. Depth 36 inches. This could not be 

 entirely uncovered as it extended under a tree, whose roots com- 

 pletely filled the grave. The leg bones only projected from 

 beneath it. No articles could be found. 



Grave No. 5. Depth 40 inches. This grave had been opened, 

 evidently not by collectors, but by Indians, probably for reburial 

 in some bone pit. All the larger bones had been removed. No 

 articles could be found. 



Articles found in graves and on the surface by local collec- 

 tors are preserved as follows : 



Mr. \V. J. Kirkpatrick has many good articles, some from 

 graves, others found on the surface. These comprise notched 

 and triangular flint points, gunlocks, one made of brass and 

 ornamented with scroll work, iron axes, a very long gun barrel, 

 iron knives, a pair of scissors and a broken bone pipe. 



The collection of Mr. Ernest Smith of Honeoye Falls con- 

 sists mainly of articles of European origin and comprises arrow- 

 points of brass and copper, axes, knives, glass and shell beads, 

 clay pipes, and bone combs. 



Mr. Joseph Mattern of West Rush collected some articles 

 of bone and shell from this site, amongst them shell "pins" and 

 bone awls. 



Among the articles gathered by local collectors and scattered 

 are said to be finely carved bone combs, clay jars, clay pipes, a 

 silver vessel, which was evidently a part of an altar service, and 

 a gold ring with the letters "I.H.S.". A bone comb, illustrated 

 in Beauchamp's "Horn and Bone Implements of the New York 

 Indians", fig. 183, may be from this village. 



The Dann Site. 



This site, formerly known as the Ball Farm site, is 

 situated on the farm of Mr. J. E. Dann, and lies one and one- 

 half miles west of Honeoye Falls, and about three miles south of
