BULLETIN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 
. REPORT ON ARCH^:OLOGY. 
During the past year considerable field work was done in this- 
department. In July I visited Albert County, and spent some time 
examining the region adjacent to the Shepody river. I was not able 
to find any ancient Indian village sites on the Shepody river, but this 
is not surprising, as the conditions there are not favorable for a 
hunting and fishing people. 
There is, however, a fairly well marked camp site on the northwest 
side of the Germantown Lake. Here on a fiat by the lakeside, on the 
farm of Mr. Berryman, a number of Hints have been found, and the 
situation is in every way favorable both for fishing and for hunting. 
The Honorable A. R. McClelan informed me that many years ago 
he had found a stone axe on the hillside above the village of Riverside. 
Prof. W. F. Ganong accompanied me on this trip, and made some 
interesting observation on the remains of the early French occupation 
of this region. The results of his work will appear elsewhere. 
In August I proceeded to McDonald’s Point, at the mouth of the 
Washademoak. Landing at Wright’s wharf I spent some days explor- 
ing the surrounding region. Some two hundred yards to the westward 
of the wharf I found a “ pitted stone,” while at and near the wharf I 
found large quantities of fiakes and chips of jasper, chalcedony, etc.^ 
all undoubtedly made from material procured from the quarry not 
far away, which have been described by Dr. G. F. Matthew.* I 
found one broken arrow-head, but no perfect implements. Residents- 
have found arrow heads, gouges, celts, spear heads and scrapers liere, 
and some of these specimens are very good. Mr. R. P. McDonald has 
a very fine felsite spear head inches long, and with sharp serrated 
edges. When found in 1877 it was perfect, but it is now broken. 
From McDonald’s Point I went to Lakeville Corner. Here I 
spent some considerable time in company with Mr. D. London, one of 
our corresponding members, in exploring what is to the archieologist 
probaVjly the most interesting region in our province. An examination 
was made of the physiography of the French and Maquapit Lakes,
