8TBVKX80.N.) ARTICLES OF CLAY. 34:0 



164. (40319). Medium size ; decorations similar to those in Fig. 361, ex- 

 cept that here the elk or deer stands on a broad black band in which 

 there is a row of white diamonds. 



165. (40321). Medium size ; of the variety represented iu Fig. 361, but 

 in these smaller pieces the bird zone is omitted, and there is but one 

 figured zone on the body. In this example a small elk is repre- 

 sented as standing on the back of a larger one. 



166. (40700). Medium size, belonging to the same type as the preceding. 

 On the neck are figures of grotesque kite-shaped birds. 



167. (40701). Medium size; Fig. 369. This and the preceding one are 

 not designated as vases in the original Smithsonian Catalogue, nor 

 in my field list, but according to the form should be classed in this 

 group. 



168. (41165). IMedium size ; decorations similar to those of Fig. 367, but 

 varying in having the figure of a bird introduced in the middle 

 belt with a small double scroll arising out of the back. The lower 

 belt has the same bird reversed. 



169. (39935). Medium size. The unusual decorations of this piece are 

 shown in Fig. 371. It differs, as does also Fig. 369, from the usual 

 form ; the body is more nearly spherical, the neck more gracefully 

 curved, and the rim slightly flaring. The i)roportions are also 

 different ; height, 8.75 inches ; diameter of body, 10; of mouth, 6.5. 



T'O ^4.1144^ ) Decorations similar to those in Fig. 364; (41144) varies 

 ' C in having the figures of elk or deer on the neck and in 

 ' ^ '■ ) the coarser or ruder scrolls. 



172. (41149). This somewhat abnormal form is well shown In Fig. 372. 

 It is of medium size. 



173. (41152). This belongs to the same type, both as to form and 

 decorations. 



174. (41153). Large size ; of the usual form, but the decorations on the 

 body peculiar, the design being crudely architectural. 



175. (41 156). Medium size, belonging to the type represented by Fig. 361. 



176. (41163). Sledium size. This pretty vase has a somewhat peculiar 

 decoration, which can be best described as a kind of patch-work 

 representing small fragments of pottery. 



177. (41166). Medium size, with the usual elk and scroll figures. 



178. (41167). Thisspecimen, which is rather above medium size, presents 

 one of the most chaste designs in the entire group. It is repre- 

 sented in Fig. 374. Attention is called especially to the leaves and 

 to the simple meander in the stripes. 



179. (41168). Marked with the usual elk and scroll figures. Medium 

 size. 



180. (39774). The decorations of this piece, shown in Fig. 373, may be 

 classed with the peculiar type with oblique and vertical bands 

 represented inFig. 374. 



181. (39917). Figures similar to those in Fig. 363.
