This led to East 138th street, whence the road proceeded in a southwesterly direction to the Morrisania landing-place, which was situated on dry land projecting into Harlem river just east of Willis avenue bridge, now covered by the New Haven Railroad yards. It was close to this place that Bronck established his home, the situation of which was disclosed in the discovery by W. L. Calver and the writer of a stone vault containing much household debris of very early character.

THE BRONX

Another old wagon-way, which is described by Jenkins,1 8 branched off from the line of the Lower path at the place in Fordham where it crossed Mill brook, following the present Third avenue to East 182d street, along which it passed to East 181st street near Bronx river. If this was the successor of a pathway to Hunts point, which seems the natural direction for such a trail to have taken, it would have followed the line of the Boston post-road to East 177th street, thence by a line which later became the old West Farms road, joining the Southern boulevard at Westchester avenue and following the line of the latter to Hunts Point road, which led directly to the Quinnahung station (7).

Another, starting from the Ranachqua locality, perhaps at the station 6, probably followed the course of the Westchester road which is now Westchester avenue, and may thus have formed a cross-connection between the landing-place and the stations in the eastern part of the Borough of the Bronx, though it would have involved the crossing of Bronx river by canoe at
