BROAD-BASED MONITOK PIPE. 



Knox County, Tennessee. 



Cat. No. 1350S9, U.S.N. M. Collected by J. W. Emmert. 



Fig. 95 is :i browiiisli gray specimen made of oolitic limestone, and 

 was found in a mound near the ancient city of Kanaliwa, West Virginia. 



It was collected by 

 Mr. J. W. Norris, and 

 is 5 inches long, with 

 a greatest width of 

 base of 1^ inches, and 

 on this pipe again are 

 seen the iile marks at 

 one x)oint, under the 

 flaring top of the bowl, 

 though they are not so . 

 pronounced as they 

 are on many other 

 specimens. 



A pipe having a stem ' 

 peculiarly of this type, 

 as well as a bowl of the monitor shape, is fig. 9G, from Loudon County, 

 Tennessee. It has no flat prow extending in front of the bowl, but 

 there is at its base, on the 

 side toward the smoker, a 

 triangular depression, cut in 

 intaglio and polished, that 

 is convincing that the spec- 

 imen was made by a person 

 familiar with a metal pipe 

 of similar shape, and if any- 

 thing were necessary to 

 strengthen this belief it is 

 presented in the gracefully 

 curved u^iper rim of the 



bowl. The file marks on this specimen again leave 

 no doubt of European contact with the persons who 

 used them. There is yet another pipe in the TJ. S. Na- 

 tional Museum collection (Cat. I^o. 135081) from Knox 

 County, Kentucky, of similar type to the last figure, 



but upon which the 

 depression is absent, 

 as are the file marks, 

 though the material of 

 both i^ipes is the same. 

 A pottery pii)e of 

 clay mixed with mica. 

 Belonging apparently 

 to this type is fig. 97, collected by Dr. J. D. Irwin, United States Army, 

 at Fort Wayne, Wayne County, Michigan. It is scarcely 2.i inches long, 

 has many of the characteristics of the "monitor," especially in its stem
