After completing the work at Tadoussac, the writer explored the 
country in the vicinity of Ste. Catherine bay, Basque point, and Little 
Bergeronne bay, in Saguenay county ; Bic, in Rimouski county; Riviere 
du Loup, in Temiscouata county; St. Sim4on, Murray Bay, St. Ir4n6, and 
Baie St. Paul, in Charlevoix county; St. Petronille, isle of Orleans; Quebec, 
Sillery, Loretteville, and Les Saules, in Quebec county; lake St. Joseph, 
St. Raymond, Neuville, Les Ecureuils, Donnacona, Cap Sant4, Portneuf, 
and St. Casimir, in Portneuf county; La Perade, Batiscan, Ste. Genevieve, 
Champlain, Red Mill, and Cap-de-la-Madeleine, in Champlain county; 
Three Rivers, Pointe-du-Lac, and Yamachiche, in St. Maurice county; 
St. Ang£le-de-Laval, in Nicolet county; Louiseville and Ste. Ursule, in 
Maskinonge county; and Berthier and Lanoraie, in Berthier county. Two 
very small, shallow shell-heaps were founa on the point at the west side of 
Little Bergeronne river. A test hole dug into the floor of the cave at Bic, 
where human skeletons are said to have been found many years ago, did 
not yield any evidence of human habitation. A fragment of an unfinished 
stone adze and a few quartz chips, indicating the presence of another work- 
shop site of the same people as those at Tadoussac, were found at St. 
Sim4on, about 28 miles west of Tadoussac. Algonkian sues were dis- 
covered near Batiscan, Red Mill, and Pointe-du-Lac. Notched arrow and 
spear points, plano-convex scrapers, and a drill point, all chipped from 
chert, from the site near Batiscan, resemble those found at Algonkian 
sites in Ontario. One of the three pieces of pottery found here is from a 
pot which had been made by the coiling process. It and another piece 
bear stamped or roulette designs similar to those on Algonkian ware from 
Ontario. One piece bears a pattern composed of rows of incised diagonal 
lines. Two small objects of unknown use and a hollow cylindrical bead 
are made of native copper. Stone celts and gouges have also been found 
at this site. The site near Red Mill yielded thirteen stone plummets 
(two of which are of the same type as the one found at Tadoussac), a crude, 
leaf-shaped form chipped from stone, a shouldered but not barbed arrow 
point, and a fragment of a notched point chipped from chert, a fragment 
of a slate chisel, hammerstone, and many chippings of chert and other rocks. 
This site appears to be of an earlier period than the one at Batiscan. 
Notched arrow and spear points and plano-convex scrapers chipped from 
chert, and a notched sinker-like stone object, were found at the site near 
Pointe-du-Lac. A small site near Lanoraie, the only Iroquoian site dis- 
covered, is of the same culture as the Roebuck Village site, in Grenville 
county, Ontario, and the site of Hochelaga. Here the writer collected 
points for arrows and spears chipped fron stone, mullers, mortars, stone 
adzes, whetstones, fragments of pottery and ea thenware pipes, one human 
skeleton almost complete, and parts of two others. 
Notes were made of artifacts in small private collections at Riviere 
du Loup, Batiscan, and Louiseville, and in the museums of Laval Univer- 
sity, Quebec, and the Seminary at Three Rivers.
