Shell-heaps near Reidway. Several small shell-heaps occur in a field 
back from the shore, on the farm of Mr. Daniel McGregor, near Reidway 
post office. Here Mr. McGregor has ploughed up many points, chipped 
from stone, for arrows, spears, and knives, and has also found celts made 
of stone. A leaf-shaped point chipped from white and pink quartzite, 
a leaf-shaped point chipped out of stone, and two tanged points chipped 
out of stone, found near Reidway by Mr, McGregor, were presented to 
the Museum and are catalogued under Nos. VIII-B-22 to VIII-B-25. 
Little Harbour. Patterson states (b, page 34) that the time of the 
last Micmac-Abnaki war in this county, the Abnakis fortified themselves 
in two blockhouses at Little Harbour. 
Sites on Pictou Harbour. There are a number of sites on Pictou 
harbour, at the beaches and at Fisher grant 1 . In the Patterson collection 
there is an adze made of stone from the beach at Pictou, a fragment of 
an adze made of stone from Town gut, two adzes made of stone, one of 
them double-bitted, from Big gut, East river, Pictou. In the same col- 
lection from East river, Pictou, are two adzes made of stone, one of them 
grooved on the rounded side of the head, 
A shell-heap, the site of old camp fires, composed of oyster, clam, 
and mussel shells, was found on the land of Mr. Ives, on Ives point, on 
the east side of East river, Pictou, when the branch railway to Pictou 
Landing was under construction, and three stone axes were presented 
by Mr. Ives to Mr. Harris, an engineer on the construction. Adzes 
rather than grooved axes are probably meant by the word axes. Several 
slate knives were found on excavating about 18 inches. The above infor- 
mation is taken from an article by Mr. D. McLeod, published in the Pictou 
Advocate (September 14, 1912). W. J. Wintemberg visited the place on 
July 30, 1913, but could find no traces of the site. 
Stone axes or celts, and knives, were found a few hundred yards 
north of Indian Cross point, a little below Ives point. 
A shell-heap is located on the west bank of East river, Pictou, at 
South Pictou on the farm of Mr. William Dunbar, where oyster shells 
have been found, according to Patterson (b, page 28, and c, page 673). 
Two adzes made of stone, one of them double-bitted, from South Pictou, 
are in the Patterson collection. 
Shell-heaps were located at Fraser point, on the farm of Mr. Hugh 
Fraser, and at Middle River point, on Mr. McKay's farm, according to 
Patterson (b, page 28, and c, page 673), who states that at these places 
shells have been ploughed up. There are seven adzes made of stone, 
from Middle River point, in the Patterson collection. 
A gorget from Green hill, near Sylvester, is catalogued under No. 
86 in the Patterson collection. 
Shell-heap on McKenzie Farm, Caribou Island. There is a shell- 
heap about 100 feet long and 20 to 25 wide, on the farm of Messrs. William 
and Daniel McKenzie, on the shore of a small cove near Gull rock, Caribou 
island. Mr. William McKenzie stated that it was composed of refuse 
and shells to a depth of about 2 feet, but ploughing has reduced it to
