particularly the course of the thoroughfare. Large collections of 
Indian remains were made, and as a result, material is now available 
for study, which I believe will enable us to form a much bettei^idea 
than we have hitherto had of the antiquity of man in central^ New 
Brunswick. I wish to express my thanks for the aid rendered me in 
this work by Mr. London. 
Later in the season E spent some weeks in field work at Grand 
Lake. I made my headquarters at Douglas Harbor, and my excursions 
ranged from Indian Point to Sypher’s Cove. 
At the Key-hole, about two and a half miles above Douglas Har- 
bor, a long, wide and high sea-wall confines a large pond. This pond 
has a small, winding outlet known locally as the “ Lead.” This pond 
is a great resort for fish, and as the outlet is narrow and shallow, it is 
an excellent place to catch them. For this reason, probably, the inner 
side of the sea-wall was occupied as a camp site in prehistoric times. 
On the left hand side of the highway, about a hundred yards eastward 
beyond the bridge over the “ Lead,” I made several excavations in the 
sand and gravel, and secured numerous fragments of aboriginal pottery. 
The storms and freshets of generations had piled sand and gravel over 
the old camp site, and at depths of three and four feet, I uncovered 
fragments of pottery, flakes, charred wood and charcoal. I consider 
this the very best place in New Brunswick to look for ancient pottery. 
I also examined Grand Point, and was able to make an improved 
map of this point as well as of the “ Key-hole.” 
On the east side of Douglas Harbor is pointed out the Indian Bath 
house of Louis Joseph, an Indian proprietor who died about sixty 
years ago. 
While at Douglas Harbor I received aid from Messrs. Asa Balmain, 
David Balmain, Lemuel Colwell, Abijah Coakley and W. S. Butler, 
to all of whom I wish to express my thanks. 
When my health will permit I hope to lay the results of my sum- 
mer’s work before the Society in extended and illustrated form.
