In this it may be mentioned that a stone pipe markedwith a rudely cut cross on the front was found byMr. Ed. Todd on the same farm, lot 12, concession14.

Father Martin in his notes onBressanis Relation Abregee (Montreal, 1852), at p. 101 speaks of thisdiscovery; and Sir Daniel Wilson, in the Canadian Journal (SecondSeries), Vol. III., p. 399 (1858), also refers to the bonepit and its con-tents, particularly the conch shells, mentioning Dr. Bawtrees accountof them.

In mak-ing this conjecture Ihonatiria is assumed to be one of the sites nearThunder Bay. 7. EDMUND LAURINS. (DR. BAWTREES, NO. 2). Two miles west of the last na
