Flavoring extract bottles (Nos. 526, 1744, 1850). Fragments of three 

 small-mouth, clear-glass, flat extract bottles. One (No. 526) (pi. 53, 

 k) originally holding l^A ounces, has molded on the two sides the 

 name "Burnett" and "Boston." The well-known firm of Joseph Bur- 

 nett and Co. was established at Boston in 1854 (Kasten, 1929). A 

 very similar bottle (No. 1850) of 2-ounce size is unmarked. 

 Infants' food bottles (No, 1660) (pi. 53, e). Three soft white rubber 

 stoppers for "Mellin's Food containers," another old Boston product. 

 Corks (Nos. 94, 134, 1617, 1688/1-6, 1731). Numerous specimens of natural 

 corks, most of which are wine-bottle size (ca. % inch in diameter). 

 One cork (1688/5) of larger dimension is probably the stopper of a con- 

 diment or pickle bottle (1^ inches in diameter).
