cled and covered the entire surface of the pot. A circular impres- 
sion, possibly made with a hollow reed, forms the decoration on 
another fragment. Here Mr. Moyer found what appears to be 
an unfinished ^woman’s knife.” This has been roughly chip- 
ped out of dark coloured slate, and is unusually large, being 
12 inches long, 4§ wide, and about § inch thick. It seems to 
be too thin to be a winged banner stone in process of manu- 
facture. Here, also, was found a lizard-shaped amulet made 
of black slate. It is a little more than 4 inches long, 1 inch 
wide, and 1 inch thick. The lower side is flat and there are 
no perforations. 
No. 21. There is said to be a lodge site on the Anthony 
Smith farm, lot 1, concession V. Its surface was obscured by 
sod at the time of my visit, but artifacts are said to have been 
numerous when it was first ploughed. 
No. 22. There are several lodge sites on the bank of the 
small stream connecting Carter lake with the river Thames 
to the westward, on the farm of James B. McFarlane, lot 8, 
concession IV. Fragments of pottery were plentiful when the 
land was first ploughed. Here a clay pot was recently un- 
earthed from a sand-bank and broken by two Indian boys of 
the neighbourhood. A fragment which I obtained from Mr. 
McFarlane showed the vessel to be of very inferior technique. 
Mr. McFarlane has also a piece of the rim decorated with 
round bosses made by punching from the inside of the vessel. 
Oblique incised lines along the edge below the rim complete the 
decoration of the top. Here points chipped from stone for 
arrows have been found. 
No. 23. There are four lodge sites indicated by black 
spots near the river Thames on the farm of Charles Eapson, 
lot 9, concession IV. 
No. 24. There are four lodge sites on the bank of a small 
stream on the farm of Charles Eapson, lot 10, concession IV. 
Here J. Hewitt has found chipped points of stone for arrows 
and other artifacts, while fragments of pottery are numerous. 
No. 25. There is a site on the Scott farm, lot 10, conces- 
sion IV, where none of the usual black spots indicating lodge 
sites were to be seen, but cultivation may develop them. Here 
J. Hewitt collected numerous points chipped from stone for
