Fig. 1. JEFFERSON COUNTY, This county is bounded on one side by Lake Ontario, andupon the other by the wild, mountainous region which sepa-rates the waters of the Hudson River from those of the St.Lawrence. It is intersected by the Black River, one of themost picturesque streams of the State.

These natural features, implying an abundance of fishand game, joined to great fertility of soil and easy cultivation, PLATE I.

Ancient Work, Adams Township^ Jefferson County, New York. This work occupies a commanding position upon the browof the second terrace,
