(3) A large marked boulder found on an old aboriginal 
camp-site at Passamaquoddy, and now in the museum of the 
Lniversity of Xew Brunswick. It was discovered and presented 
to the museum by myself, under the impression that it was a 
genuine Indian relic, and an account of it, with illustrations, was 
published by me in the University Monthly for ]^Iarch, 1885. 
But I am now perfectly convinced that the markings are of 
glacial origin, for they are precisely of the character shown by 
many glacial boulders. 
(4) A carved sandstone boulder on the Oromocto river re- 
ported by Mr. C. Ah Beckwith, as recorded in the Transactions 
of the Royal Society of Canada, V, 1889, section ii, 228. It was 
described as situated about a mile above the mouth of Lyons 
stream, and as having cut upon its surface “ a plan or map, 
apparently answering to the forks of the Oromocto River, with 
curious hgures ; some that appeared to indicate men and arrows 
pointing in different directions There were no letters, 
and it did not appear to have been made by a civilized being, but 
looked to me like some old Indian landmark.’* He adds details 
as to its location and appearance. In July last, while descending 
the Oromocto in company with Dr. Hay, we made careful search 
for this stone, examining every large boulder along the river 
from near Otter Brook to Lyons Stream. In about the position 
described by i\Ir. Beckwith we found a boulder, or, rather, a 
portion of semi-detached ledge, answering in some respects to his 
description, but it bore no markings. About one-third of a mile 
lower down, however, we found another boulder answering even 
more closely to his description, except that it was some distance 
out from the bank, and upon this were markings of the character 
described by him. They were, however, so faint that we missed 
them upon a first search, and only found them on the almost 
microscopic search of a second visit. The markings, however, 
are true glacial or ice scratches, readily resolvable by fancy into 
arrows and other figures. One of the lines, no doubt that taken 
by i\Ir. Beckwith for the Oromocto, is somewhat sinuous, rather
