of the smoker, the base of the pipe thus answering for a 

 stein. The hole was about one-eighth of an inch in diam- 

 eter, and was evidently bored to the bowl before the thin 

 base of not over a quarter of an inch in average thickness 

 was finished off, as a small ridge was left over the hole 

 along the upper edge of the stem portion. About the 

 bowl are several holes through the flat portion, probably 

 used for fastening the pipe to a wooden holder or for the 

 attachment of ornaments. The bowl is smaller at its 

 base than at its top, and largest in the centre where the 

 diameter is one and one-half inches. The height of the 



O 



bowl is two and one-half inches, with a slight rim at its 

 edge. This description answers to the two pipes exhib- 

 ited, and the third, which did not fall into the possession 

 of the Academy, was said to be of the same shape and 

 size. One of the pipes has two lines cut round the upper 

 portion of the bowl, and the bottom of the base is nearly 

 covered with transverse, longitudinal and cross lines. In 

 one of the graves was found a small piece of smooth sand- 

 stone about two and a half inches long by three-quarters 

 of an inch in width and one-eighth of an inch in thick- 

 ness, on which weijfl^several markings, which may have a 

 meaning, but at present all that can be said is that they 

 consist of two or three lines sweeping from the left upper 

 corner to the bottom and then up to the right upper cor- 

 ner, with two lines drawn across the surface about a quar- 

 ter of an inch apart, connected by eight cross lines, 

 making such a picture as a child would draw to represent 

 a ladder, and at the side of this are two lines coming 

 together at the top, as a child would draw a tent, and two 

 other semicircular lines are crossed by several smaller 

 ones. The opposite surface of this stone is not finished 

 as smoothly as the one having the markings. 



The other relics consisted of one well .made spear
