extreme front, and the bowl is angular. It is five and one eighth 

 inches long and two and one quarter high, and conies from the east 

 end of Oneida Lake. Fig. no resembles modern western forms, 

 but is of grey stone. It tapers to a curving point in front, and is 

 three and one half long by two inches high. 



Fig. in is a double stone pipe, found near Nichols Pond in 

 Madison County, but probably having no relations to it. It is 

 formed like a keg, with a bowl at each end, and stem holes sloping 

 different ways. It is of brown sandstone, two inches high by one 

 and three fourths thick. Fig. 112 is of sienna colored marble, el- 

 liptic in longitudinal section, contracted and grooved a third of the 

 way from the top. The base has a projection with a perforation. 

 Height two and one quarter inches. It is a recent form, and comes 

 from Brewerton. A similar one, contracted but not grooved, comes 

 from Cross Lake. It has a large orifice, a basal perforation, and is 

 two and three fourths inches high. 



Fig. 113 is a double faced bird pipe, two and one half inches 

 deep, from Monroe County. It is a recent form, with basal fluting 

 and projection. Fig. 114 is a dark stone pipe from Pompey. Like 

 all with this platform and basal projection, it is a recent form. The 

 height is three and one half inches. Fig. 115 is a very different 

 style of platform pipe, from the Seneca River. The extreme length 

 is three and three fourths inches, and the stem hole is at the short 

 end. It is quite thin, and is made of a crystalline stone. 



Fig. 116 is from the Seneca Castle of 1779 at Geneva, and is 

 sometimes called the bottle stopper pattern. It has a pointed and 

 perforated base, and is two and three fourths high by one and one 

 fourth inches thick. It is a recent form, of course. Another much 

 like it, comes from the same place. Another is from Canoga, the 

 birth place of Red Jacket, and is a little smaller. Another is from 

 Onondaga Lake, and many more might be mentioned, all with 

 perforated bases, which is a modern feature. It is one of the most 

 frequent and recent of our stone pipes. 



Fig. 117 is another bird pipe, similar to Fig. 103, and a rare form. 

 It seems to have been made by the same hand, and was found on 

 the Seneca River. The same style of work appears in some Ohio
