12 
leaf-shaped point chipped from stone, which are catalogued under Nos. 
VIII-B-30 and VIII-B-29. Mr. McGregor found and presented a point 
chipped from chalcedony, catalogued under No. VIII-B-31. 
Shell-heap J (Figure 1) is a small and unimportant shell-heap, on a 
flat on the west side of Smashem head. It was reported by Mr. Malcolm 
de Wolfe. 
Shell-heap K (Figure 1) is on the land of Mr. Daniel McLean, on the 
low part of the bluff west of Robinson point. It was about 5 feet above 
the beach and undercut by the waves at high tide. The writer excavated 
this heap and collected: a chip of clear quartz; three samples of animal 
bones; an incisor of a porcupine; a canine tooth of a seal; four fragments 
of pottery, one of which is illustrated on Plate IX, figure 8, apparently 
from three pots; a knife made of an incisor tooth of a beaver; two fragments 
of shafts of simple points made of bone; and a fragment of an object made 
of bone similar to the one illustrated in Plate VII, figure 8. These are 
catalogued under Nos. VIII-B-691 to VIII-B-698. 
Shell-heap L (Figure 1), about 40 feet long by about 13 feet wide by 
about 1 foot high, is on the west side of the south point of Finlayson island, 
part of the estate of Mr. Edward F. Finlayson. It was formerly wider, 
now being undercut on the west by the surf. It was only about a sixteenth 
of a mile across a comparatively low part of the south point of the island 
from heap M. The site is on low land sheltered between two bluffs to the 
northwest and southeast, and protected by the forest on the slope to the 
northeast. It was completely excavated, but yielded little besides shells. 
These, and the black dirt, were in about the same proportion as in the other 
heaps on the harbour (See Appendix III). 
Shell-heap M (Figure 1) was about 80 feet long by 20 feet wide and 
14 inches high, and was situated on the east side of the south point of 
Finlayson island. It was situated less than a sixteenth of a mile east 
across the low part of the south point of the island from heap L, and less 
than half a mile southwest from heap N. It was on a flat about 5 feet 
above the beach, undercut by the waves, and sheltered from the south by 
the bluff at the southern end of the point and to some extent from the 
west and north by the forest on slightly rising land. It had been ploughed 
at least once, but was covered with trees. All of it was excavated and found 
to be composed of black refuse and shells, chiefly those of the quahog, 
oyster, and mussel. Shells of other clams, the moon shell, and another 
gasteropod were less common (See Appendix IV). 
Shell-heap N. Shell-heap material occurs all along the slope of the 
southern shore of Pig island, which is owned by Mr. Daniel McGregor. 
This material has been undercut by the waves and is caved off in large 
pieces at various places. The shore is sheltered from the north by higher 
land (See Appendix V). 
Shell-heap 0 (Figure 1) is a small heap on the farm of Mr. Peter A. 
Millar, on Kerr point. Kerr point is a 40-foot bluff with the land sloping 
to the south. The heap is on the southern exposure sheltered from the 
north, with a little stream below, and the nearest beach is along Huggan
