REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1897. 



which their surfaces have been brought. There are a sufficient num- 

 ber of pipes of this chiss in the museums of the country to demon- 

 strate tlie kinship of those in which the bowl and stem are in the same 

 plane with those in which the bowl is at right augles to the stem. 



These pipes are represented in the U. S. National Museum in speci- 

 mens from Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, 

 North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, and, 

 as noted, possibly from Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Their charac- 

 teristics are usually as pronounced as are those of the English trade 

 pipe type. As the angle of the stem and bowl of this 

 pipe, in its evolution or variation, departs from the 

 straight line or tubular form and approaches a right 

 angle to the stem it is noted that the prow increases 

 in length until it becomes as long as its stem, and the 

 sides of the bowl's base broaden to a corresponding- 

 degree. They are so often found in mound burials 

 as to entitle them to be classed 

 among the mound types; and, in- 

 deed, the typical mound pipe has^ 

 much in its form to suggest a kin- 

 ship with the monitor pipe. 



There is a j)ronounced monitor 

 pipe in the Peabody Academy of 

 Sciences in Salem, Massachusetts, 

 catalogued as from Maryland — a State that is distinctly within the area 

 of the monitor form — a more particular history of which could not be 

 obtained. 



Prof. F. W. Putnam refers to a pipe of this type found in a grave in 

 Massachusetts, and says the flat portion of the specimen is bored with 

 a number of holes for the attachment of ornaments.^ 



The same type, according to Mr. Harry Piers, has been found in 

 Halifax County, Nova Scotia.^ 

 Prof. G. H. Perkins refers to it in the Champlain Valley, Vermont.^ 

 The Peabody Academy of Sciences owns several found in Beverly, 

 Massachusetts, and they have been found in New York, in Oneida, 

 Onondaga, and Cayuga counties.^ 



RECTANGULAR PIPES. 



There is a pipe of a distinct type, examples of which are found from 

 Pennsylvania to Nova Scotia and as far west as Ohio, which by many 

 are supposed to be specimens of aboriginal work, though to the writer 

 they appear to be made with white men's imi)lements. Those M'hich
