Note 1686 — Chapter VI · (continued 2)

All the general treatises on American archæology now cover the subject: Wilson, Prehist. Man, i. 132; Nadaillac, L’Amérique préhistorique, ch. 2; Short, No. Amer. Antiq., 106; Smithsonian Reports, 1864 (Rau), 1866, 1870 (J. Fowler); Bull. Essex Inst., iv. (Putnam); Peabody Mus. Reports, i., v., vii.; Amer. Assoc. Adv. Sci. Proc. 1867, 1875; Phil. Acad. Nat. Sci. Proc. 1866; Pop. Science Monthly, x. (Lewis); Lyell’s Second Visit, i. 252; Stevens, Flint Chips, 194. For local observations: J. M. Jones in Smithsonian Ann. Report, 1863, on those of Nova Scotia. S. F. Baird in Nat. Museum Proc. (1881, 1882), on those of New Brunswick and New England. For those in Maine see Peabody Mus. Reports, xvi., xviii.; Central Ohio Sci. Assoc. Proc., i. 70; that at Damariscotta, in particular, is described in the Peabody Mus. Reports, xx. 531, 546; and in the Maine Hist. Soc. Col., v. (by P. A. Chadbourne) and vi. 349. Wyman’s studies are in the Amer. Naturalist, Jan., 1868, and Peabody Mus. Rept., ii. Putnam (Essex Inst. Bull., xv. 86) says that those at Pine Grove, near Salem, Mass., were examined in 1840. The map which is annexed of those on Cape Cod, taken from the Smithsonian Report (1883, p. 905), shows the frequency of them in a confined area, as observed; but the same region doubtless includes many not observed.
