were found was one admirably adapted for man’s habitation. It was 
upon the flat top of a lenticular-shaped hill, of glacial till, of a mod- 
erate height, completely sheltered by higher hills surrounding it, 
and supplied with an unfailing spring of purest water. Many of 
the objects I found where roads had been deeply cut into the side 
of the hill, so that these must have lain buried several feet beneath 
the surface ; others came from ploughed fields adjacent. Nowhere 
in the neighborhood did my inquiries or my search meet with 
any traces of Indian occupation of the region. 
Last autumn I found a much larger quantity of objects of pre- 
cisely the same types at Jefferson, N. H., about twenty miles 
north of the other locality. There also I could find but slight 
trace of the Indians. The occasional visit of a hunting-party 
seemed to be indicated by the circumstance that a few arrow- 
heads had been found near a fine spring. But the most careful 
search failed to reveal any evidence that the Indians had ever had 
a settlement in that vicinity, while the large number of rude 
implements found there proved that man had long sojourned on 
the spot. 
So also during the past autumn I found precisely similar objects 
in Burlington, Vt., although in that region relics of the Indians 
are quite abundant. All of the new types of implements, how- 
ever, that I found there, came from quite a depth beneath the 
surface, and were brought to light by the digging of a deep trench 
for water-pipes. 
In the vicinity of Boston I have found implements of the 
same kind near the U. S. Arsenal, at the boundary of Watertown 
and Cambridge, and in the rear of Mt. Auburn cemetery ; in 
Cambridgeport, at the mouth of Charles River, near the remains of 
the earth-work thrown up by Washington. A few I have found in 
Brighton ; more in Longwood ; several in Medford, and quite a 
large number in East Somerville, near the mouth of Mystic 
River. At Everett, I think I discovered clear evidence of the 
site of one of the original stations of this early race. On the 
slope of a lenticular-shaped hill overlooking Woodlawn cemetery, 
a large pit had been dug to serve as a reservoir for a supply of 
water for the fountains in the cemetery. A space several rods 
square had thus been excavated to the depth of some thirty
