cliff houses and in the pueblos or open villages in the plain was 

 indentical. 



Two specimens of jugs made of black and white ware are figured 

 in Plate 6, Figures 3, 4. These specimens are made of rough ware 

 ornamented by the simplest geometrical patterns; one of these has 

 simply encircling black bands. The handle arises above the neck 

 and continues to the middle of the jug. These objects are flattened 

 at the base, but otherwise similar to those from the Mesa Verde 

 region so often described. 



Plate 6, Figures 5 and 6, and Plate 7, Figure 2, show globular vases 

 with small mouth openings. They belong to the group of white or 

 gray ware decorated with black designs. The two lugs suggest that 

 these objects are canteens, having at the base of the neck two knobs 

 or mounted disks which no doubt served for the adjustment, to which 

 were attached strings by means of which they could be carried over 

 the shoulder. The two figures represent the same canteen from 

 different sides. 



One of the most remarkable globular jugs (pi. 7, fig. 1) in the 

 Williamson collection is four-lobed at the base and decorated with 

 hatchure and circles each with a central black spot. The handle of 

 this jug is marked with parallel black lines. 



There is in the Williamson collection an effigy bowl in the form of 

 a bird, here shown (pi. 7, figs. 3 and 4) from side and top. One 

 interesting feature brought out in this effigy bowl is the T-shaped 

 opening on the back and the striated representation of the wings. 



Another type, approaching in form the bird effigy already con- 

 sidered, is a clipper-shaped vessel shown in Plate 7, Figure 5, which 

 has no indication of a head or wings but should be classified near the 

 bird effigies. 



Plate 7, Figure 7, represents a duck-shaped effigy vase with lateral 

 ridges indicating the position of wings. The handle has been broken. 

 This object is made of rough ware, unornamented. 



In 1922 the author found at Pipe Shrine House, in the Mesa Verde 

 National Park, a similar bird effigy to that figured in Plate 7, Figures 

 3 and 4, which also has a well-made head and a T-shaped opening in 

 the back. 



An exceptional form of ceramic ware which was found at the 

 crossing of the river at Dolores is shown in Plate 7, Figure 6. This 

 object is a globular, undecorated vessel, unlike any form that has 

 thus far been recorded from the Mesa Verde. 



Plate 7, Figures 8 and 9, represents a clay specimen of three cups 

 united. It belongs to the gray ware; the bottoms of all are flat; 

 sides rounded.
