pipes, and in one figured by Dr. Rau from New York. This pipe 

 is of green slate, and not thick, and has a perforated projection in 

 front, as well as lines and grooves for feathers. The extreme length 

 is three and three fourths inches. 



Fig. 118 is a steatite pipe with a projecting rim on either side ot 

 the stem. The same form occurs in clay in Cayuga, where this 

 feature is quite common on clay pipes of various forms. This was 

 found with these, and is a rare form in any material. Except for the 

 flanges it is a tapering cylinder, slightly bent. It is three and three 

 quarters long by one inch in diameter at the top of the bowl. 



Fig. 119 is an ovoid pipe from Onondaga, made of grey limestone, 

 and two inches high. The form is rather rare in New York, and 

 may be called a southern form. Fig. 120 is a slender black pipe 

 from Seneca Falls, two and three fourths inches long, and having 

 the stem at a very broad angle with the bowl. Fig. 151 is a straight 

 and somewhat flattened pipe of dark green soapstone. Though 

 others approach this it may be considered unique. It is from 

 Brewerton, and is three inches long, by one and one eighth thick. 

 Fig. 152 is similar but not so straight, and has flanges on each 

 side below the bowl, which is more distinct than in the last. It 

 belongs to the Onondaga Historical Association, and probably is 

 from that county. It is of green sandstone, and is three and three 

 quarters inches long. Such straight pipes are everywhere rare. 

 Another of green soapstone comes from the east shore of Cayuga 

 Lake, and this has a narrow projection on one side below the bowl. 



Fig. 153 is a common form in clay, but rare in stone, being often 

 called the trumpet form. It has a curved stem, broadening into 

 the circular bowl, and the latter has moldings and beaded grooves. 

 It is three and five eighths inches long, and was found west of 

 Cross Lake. Its interest is in the material. 



Platform pipes sometimes have a slight ornamentation of a sim- 

 ple kind. A fine one from Cross Lake has an oblong bowl at one 

 end, and lines on the top of the platform. The stem hole, as in 

 some other cases, is at the short end of the platform, leaving the 

 longer projection beyond the bowl. The height is one and seven 

 eighths inches. One of brown marble has moldings around the
