. Notes of sites of Huron villages in the township of Tiny (Simcoe County) and adjacent parts. Prepared with a view to the identification of those villages visited and described by Champlain and the early missionaries .

It should be noted that on twoof the crosses there are engraved re-spectively the letters C. A. and R. CTaking a clue from Dean Harriss reference to Richelieu, these lettersmay mean Cardinal Archbishop and Richelieu Cardinal, but as thedean says, We can easily conjecture many things in association withthese letters, but they would be only conjectures. It was stated in one of the newspaper accounts of thediscovery that one of these relics showed Richelieus coatof arms. But of this I am not quite sure. Fig. 6 represents one of several bangles found withthe crosses (on Present Island). They appear to be made ofsilver, or else of some othersoft white metal.
