long, and comes from Scipioville. Although of what is called the 

 trumpet form, it is almost unique in character. 



Fig. 149 is a fine turtle pipe from Schoharie county, and was 

 found under a stump. The bowl is raised upon the back, and the 

 feet and projecting head are well worked out. It is a fine example 

 of this form of pipe, 7| inches long. 



Fig. 1 50 is a pipe bowl from Jefferson county, strongly resembling 

 two from Madison county in its niche-like character, as well as one 

 from the Minden site near Fort Plain. There is a face and a rude 

 figure in a recess, surrounded by a double arch. These pipes ap- 

 parently belong to the end of the i6th century, but suggest to some 

 a knowledge of Europeans. They are rather rare. One comes 

 from Onondaga, : 



Fig. 151 is a fine and curious pipe found in a grave at Boughton 

 hill, where the Seneca capital of 1687 stood. There is an upturned 

 human face above, and arms below the rim of the bowl. Below the 

 latter are grooves, and along the stem are grooves and elliptic 

 indentations in the fashion of that century. Another fine pipe was 

 found in the same grave. One has been described from the Huron 

 territory in Canada much like this, and the Senecas had a town 

 almost entirely Huron, after the overthrow of that people. The 

 Huron and Canadian pipes of this form may have come from the 

 same hand. The length is 7|- inches. 



Fig. 152 is a large and fine bowl in the form of a human head. 

 It is very well made, and resembles some of the early pipes from 

 Jefiferson county. It is 2^ inches wide, and was found in Lenox, 

 Madison county, not far from the site of 161 5, but is probably of 

 earlier date. From the latter, at Nichols' pond, Fenner, come some 

 of the high and corded bowls of that century, so frequent else- 

 where. 



Fig. 153 is a large and heavy pipe, with the abrupt angles neatly 

 rounded. It has a flaring bowl, and is perfectly plain excepting 

 four shallow horizontal grooves midway on the front of the bowl, 

 and two large indentations on the back. This massive pipe is per- 

 fect, and is 7| inches in extent. It was found in Pompey, and thus 

 seems of the 17th century.
