33G MEETINGS. 



erected there. In making excavations I started on the west 

 wall, working south, coming to a large corner stone, which 

 gave the line of the south wall. Along this I worked until 

 coming to what I supposed was a buttress, as the masonry 

 turned off from the main wall. I dug about there and tried 

 in vain to find the east wall. I failed also in finding the north 

 wall, at least to any very great extent, as from the corner about 

 18 inches, it butted up against a rock. I next turned my 

 attention to digging in the interior of what I supposed was the 

 chapel. The Avails are 2 feet 6 inches thick, having an offset 

 of 8 inches, two feet from the top of the wall, on the inside 

 of the space. I commenced digging on the south-west corner 

 and worked to below the offset, about one foot ; there appeared 

 to be a loose flooring of stones, under which the soil Avas sandy 

 mixed with small stones, easily worked. I found small pieces 

 of lime mortar, which was odd, as the Avails are not built in 

 lime, and a few bones ; these Avere found in various places. 

 There Avas no decided layer or uniformity in the find of these, 

 simply found here and there. I paid a second visit to the 

 excavation I had previously made, and for four hours dug 

 aAvay underneath the rough flooring ; I found the brain portion 

 of a skull, which I am quite satisfied is that of a deer, for it so 

 closely resembles the head of a black buck, a small deer found 

 in great numbers in India. Tavo portions of the loAver jaw I 

 also found, along with other bones. The lower jaAvs of deer 

 are, as a rule, never kept, only the skull for the sake of the 

 horns as trophies. There is no doubt whatever that in the old 

 days deer roamed about the forests AAdrich existed along the 

 wdiole of the coast from the Yale right aAvay to Pleinmont, 

 when the beech, fir and oak shaded the low lands of Cobo, 

 Yazon, Perelle, l'Eree and Rocquaine Bays. There is a 

 family in the island Avho had a contract for feeding pigs in 

 Cobo and Vazon Bays on the beech nuts found there. A 

 celt was found in Vazon Bay imbedded in the peat, 8 feet 

 beloAv the surface of the beach. This celt is in the posses- 

 sion of the Lukis family. The surface of these forests is 

 below the level of our lovr-lying raised beaches. 



An old farm-house was visited in the parish of St. Peter's 

 called " Le Clercs," now occupied by James Robilliard. 

 Here we saw a small trough, on Avhich the date 1762 was 

 cut, also a round wooden bushel measure with the date 1765. 

 On looking over some of Mr. Robilliard's old family papers 

 I saw mentioned that a " f ouidre," or stone celt, fell through 

 the roof of St. Martin's Church during a thunderstorm in the 

 year 1819, in the night. Another paper mentioned that in the
