 RECTANGULAR PIPE.

polish. Every exterior tool mark is obliterated. Tlie bowl lias what 

 appears to be quite an uimecessary tbickuess on the side from the 

 smoker, tliongb it is evidently not the result of accident. 



Fig. 202, from Tike County, Missouri, collected by iAIr. J. C. Watkius, 

 is. made of a light-gray indurated clay, and is about the same size as 

 the precediug specimen. Facing from the smoker there is carved the 



head of a bird or beast, it is 

 impossible to say which; 

 the surface, however, is 

 merely smoothed, without 

 effort at polishing, the crea- 

 ture's eyes are cut in intag- 

 lio, the mouth being indi- 

 cated by a straight line cut 

 into the stone. The head is 

 slightly broader than the 

 bowl, on the upper right- 

 haud rim of which are eight 

 incised lines, whether for 

 ornament or as a record of some event it would be impossible to say. 

 These bowls are evidently bored by means of tubular metal drills, as in- 

 dicated by the uniform size of their perforations, though there is in the 

 U. S. i^atioual Museum collection a specimen made of catlinite which 

 was found in Baraboo, Sauk County, Wisconsin, which has been bored 

 with a solid drill. The surfaces of this latter are merely smoothed, with- 

 out effort at polish, the speci- 

 men having evidently been 

 blocked out by sawing. The 

 pipes of this type in the col- 

 lection of the U. S. National 

 Museum are almost too few in 

 number for one to draw defi- 

 nite conclusions from, and 

 while so different in exterior 

 from the curved base niound 

 pipes, there appears a kin- 

 ship between the two in size 

 of bowl and stem. Another 

 pipe of this character was 

 referred to by Mr. John P. 

 Jones, in a letter to Dr. E. 

 Missouri. 



Fig. 203, from Arizona, collected by Maj. J. W. Powell, is in form not 

 unlike the familiar Powhatan pipe of commerce. It is made of a fine- 

 grained red stone, ground into shape with great delicacy, the walls of 

 the bowl being scarcely more than one sixteenth of an inch thick,though
