arrows, fragments of pottery, and a broken gorget. Charles 
Edwards of Innerkip found a broken “butterfly” 1 banner stone 
a little over 2§ inches long. There are two deep notches cut 
on one side of the specimen which were possibly made 
after it was broken to fasten on the missing part. Points 
chipped from stone for arrows, also celts and fragments of pot- 
tery are found west of here on the W. P. Clarke farm, lot 11, 
concession IV. 
No. 26. There are several lodge sites near what is locally 
known as the “Indian Spring” immediately south of Mud lake, 
according to E. M. Hersee, but fifty years of cultivation have 
obliterated nearly all traces of them. Here chipped points of 
stone for arrows and celts have been found. 
Burial Places. 
Four undoubtedly prehistoric burial places have been 
found in this township. All of these were near the lodge sites, 
which would seem to indicate that they belong to the sites. 
No artifacts were found in them. 
No. 1. One modem burial accompanied by artifacts was 
fouah about 1876. The skeleton, which is of a female, with 
dolichocephalic skull, was discovered by Mr. Dickson on his 
farm, now the Murray place, on the north half of lot 2, conces- 
sion XIV. With the remains were found a birch-bark needle 
case, a rusty knife, a piece of amethyst, and a brass kettle with 
a hole in the bottom, possibly made accidentally during the ex- 
cavation rather than purposely to break it and make it useless to 
a grave robber (as was commonly done with kettles put in graves 
in other parts of Ontario, fifteen such kettles being found in an 
ossuary in Medonte township, Simcoe county, according to 
information from A. F. Hunter of Barrie). The skull and kettle 
passed into the possession of a local clergyman who afterwards 
presented them to the late W. S. Wilkinson, of Woodstock, and 
they are now in the collection of his son, Dr. W. M. Wilkinson, 
of Denver, Colorado. 
No. 2. Two skeletons were dug out of a sandbank on lot 2, 
concession IX, by William Forman, during 1903. Their depth
