was over six feet long.  After being exposed for a few days it was re-interred in the same spot by order of Mr. Macfarlane, and could doubtless be obtained for examination if desirable.  At a later period, the gardener, Mr. Latter, who had found the Macfarlane skeleton, dug up and re-interred another just within the bounds of his own property adjoining the head of Aberdeen Avenue opposite the St. George’s Snowshoe Club-house.  On the 22nd of July last (1898) a gardener excavating in the St. George’s Club-house grounds found three skeletons interred at a depth of from two to two and a half feet and with knees drawn up.  A report of the find was made to the Chief of Police of Westmount and to Mr. J. Stevenson Brown, and Mr. A.S.  Wheeler, respectively President and Vice-President of the St. George’s Club, the former being also an ex Vice-President of the Natural History Society.  They examined the spot and remains, Mr. Brown concluding them to be probably Indian from the prominent cheek bones and large mouths.  Having just been paying some attention to the archaeology of the Iroquois, which had been taken me on a flying trip to their former country in the State of New-York, I, on seeing in a newspaper at the seaside, a short item concerning the skeletons, was immediately interested, and especially in the possibility of their being Hochelagans, and having particularly commenced some inquiries into the relations between the latter Indians and the Mohawks, I wrote, as Chairman of Health of Westmount, asking Chief Harrison to note the manner and attitude of burial and any objects found, and to enquire concerning previous excavations in the neighborhood and save the remains for scientific purposes. (They had been sent by him to the City Morgue.) The above information concerning the previous skeletons was then collected and I found that the witnesses concurred in agreeing that the attitude seems to have been in all cases with knees bent up.  No objects seem to have been noticed in any of the excavations then made, though some may have been overlooked by the workmen, particularly as the soil of the locality is full of pieces of limestone and small boulders, closely resembling arrow heads, hammers and celts.  Several bones which are not human have however been since found with these three skeletons, one possibly of a dog, another of a squirrel.  They may be those of the funeral feast Sir William Dawson mentions in his work “Fossil Men,” as usually to be looked for over the Hochelagan graves.

Mr. Beauchamp, the New-York authority, writes concerning the Mohawks; “Burial customs varied greatly among the same people, but usually the knees are drawn up.  The face might be turned either way in contiguous graves.  I have seen many opened with no articles in them.”  By the kindness of Dr. Wyatt Johnston, Pathologist to the Provincial Board of Health, the three skeletons have been preserved and are now in the Chateau de Ramezay Historical Museum where they will doubtless be regarded with interest by scholars.
