Fig. 1 60 is a neat and peculiar little pipe bowl from Seneca 

 county, I inch wide. It is very angular at the base, and midway 

 the upper half of the bowl projects, and is adorned with vertical 

 and horizontal grooves. The base gradually expands below this 

 abrupt projection, and is decorated with diagonal grooves and 

 dots. 



Fig. 161 is a very well made pipe, representing the human knee 

 and foot slightly conventionalized. The stem is a little broken, 

 but it is yet 4 inches long. The sole of the foot forms the rim of 

 the bowl^ and the ankle and toes plainly appear. It is from the 

 Otstungo or Minden site, where many fine pipes have been found. 



Fig. 162 is a serpent pipe from West Bloomfield. The reptile 

 twines around the pipe from the mouthpiece to the top of the bowl, 

 where the head appears. This gives the whole pipe a spiral appear- 

 ance^ found in some other Seneca pipes where the serpent is not so 

 distinctly seen. This creature was a favorite decoration on many 

 fragmentary pipes. This one is 4^ inches long. 



Fig. 163 is a remarkable pipe from Bough ton hill, suggesting a 

 Huron maker, and is 6^ inches long. It was taken from a grave 

 with another already described. The human head, with its little 

 cap, is hollow, a remarkable feature, but a hog's head, detached 

 from a pipe and found near Canandaigua lake, resembles it in this 

 respect. This hollow head rises above the bowl, and has seven per- 

 forations. Arms and legs appear on the bowl, and there are grooves 

 across the back of the figure. The fashionable lines and indenta- 

 tions follow the stem. The face is less upturned than in a previous 

 example. 



In succeeding plates the figures are of actual size. 



Fig. 164 is one of the curious many faced pipes found on one or 

 two Onondaga sites only. This is reported from Indian Fort, in 

 Pompey^ but may be a mistake for the stockade a few miles south, 

 where they have otherwise only been found. The bowl alone re- 

 mains of this pipe, which is the largest known of this form, being 2| 

 inches wide. Six grotesque faces form the rim_, and below these are 

 two rows of five faces each^ which are divided by spiral lines. 

 Although much larger the general appearance is much less artistic 

 than that of one yet to be represented.
