There is no direct evidence to determine the date of the period of low water during which the houses now submerged were built; but Mr. Huntington points out that brick houses are presumably of more modern construction than cobblestone walls, and hence that the submerged houses were probably built during a low-water stand, after the high-water stand recorded in the 3o-foot beach. The fact that the bricks can be seen on the lake bottom, not yet buried by silts, points to the saine conclusion. The lake ought to be carefully sounded and dredged.
