VICTORIA MEMORIAL MUSEUM. BULLETIN NO. I 
fragments of pottery, and other artifacts. On the farm of Daniel 
Brown, on the north half of this lot, about 1901, a pot, over 
8 inches in diameter at the scalloped top and nearly 14 
inches deep, was found under the roots of a pine stump. 
The decoration is confined to the rim and neck of the vessel. 
There are short oblique incised lines around the top, then 
a row of pits punched into the clay, next several marks encir- 
cling the neck, followed by a row of short vertical strokes and 
three encircling lines. Below these there is a chevron design 
bounded by another line which encircles the pot near its equator. 
The remaining surface is smooth except where traces of paddle 
marks remain. The specimen is now in the collection of F. 
Crocker of Stratford, Ontario. 
No. 18. There is a lodge site on the farm of Samuel Trach- 
sel, lot 4, concession V. Near this some artifacts have been 
discovered; a pottery pipe similar to the one found on site No. 
13 is said to have been among them. 
No. 19. There is a small lodge site on a newly broken 
piece of ground" near the west shore of Cranberry lake, on the 
Joseph Chesney farm, lot 3, concession V. 
No. 20. There are several lodge sites on the bank of a small 
stream, a few hundred rods east of Little Buck lake, on the farm 
of William Moyer, north half of lot 2, concession Y. They 
are now indicated only by fire-burnt and broken stones, al- 
though when the land was ploughed several dark spots were 
plainly seen. Here J. Hewitt has found numerous chipped 
points for arrows, also fragments of pottery, drills, a small 
hammer stone, a heavy unsymmetrical grooved axe, and a slate 
pendant 5f inches long, by 2f wide, with only one perforation 
and a number of notches on the lower edge. The hammer stone 
is made of granite, and appears to have been an angular fragment 
battered until it became nearly oval, save for a fiat part of the 
original surface of the stone, Which remains on one side. It still 
shows peck marks on its entire periphery. I found a chipping- 
block, or stithy, that is a stone with a deep hole in one side, and 
a number of fragments of pottery. Some of the potsherds found 
here are smooth; others arede corated with simple circular 
depressions arranged in a geometric pattern near the rim; and 
still others with equidistant parallel lines which may have encir-
