Fig. 196 is a stone ring from the Oswego River, and is moderately 

 symmetrical. The work is fair, but coarse. The projection on one 

 side is perforated, and it may have been used for an earring or orna- 

 ment. Stone finger rings are rare. Fig. 197 is another from Fort 

 Plain, and on the seal are a tomahawk and arrow. These are recent 

 of course. 



Fig. 210 is a cylindric pipestone bead from Pompey. This form 

 is rare. Fig. 225 is a curious perforated ornament of stone. 



Fig. 226 is a pipestone mask from Wisconsin, which may be com- 

 pared with New York specimens. Fig. 227 is a small pipestone 

 mask from a recent site in Pompey. Fig. 228 is a rude pipestone 

 mask, nearly square. This is from Munnsville. Fig. 232 is a small 

 pipestone mask from Onondaga Lake. This has a rim above as 

 though part of a pipe, but it is perforated for suspension. It is 

 very finely worked. Fig. 233 is a small pipestone mask which lay 

 on a child's skull in a grave at Scipioville. Another rather rude 

 mask comes from Cayuga County. Fig. 238 is another fine mask 

 from the same county. It is of grey marble, slightly concave be- 

 hind, and is larger than most good examples here. Fig. 239 is a 

 cobble stone on which is carved a human face. The character is 

 modern and it comes from near Cape Vincent. 



Fig. 229 is a quatrefoil of pipestone from Munnsville. It has a 

 circular opening, and is a rare form of ornament. 



Fig. 230 is a curious little pipestone ornament with volutes. It 

 is from Munnsville and equally rare. Fig. 231 is a pipestone fish 

 from the same place. Fig. 234 has straight but not parallel sides, 

 and is of pipestone. Besides the grooved lines mostly parallel with 

 the edges, there is inscribed on it the name of 'Joheannes,' in a very 

 neat hand. It was found at Auriesville. Fig. 235 has also straight 

 but not parallel sides. It is of pipestone and from Cayuga. There 

 is a perforation midway in the narrow top, and one near each lower 

 corner. A broad groove runs parallel with three edges, and within 

 this are fine cross lines. It is two and five eighths long by one and 

 five eighths inches wide. 



Fig. 237 is also from Cayuga, and of pipestone. The straight 

 sides converge, but the basal line is quite convex. There is a small
