the stem. In earlier pipes the face was toward the smoker; a 

 later fashion was to place it on the front of the bowl. There are 

 four grooves under the rear of the head, and the length is 5^ inches. 



Fig. 172 represents a fine pipe from an early Iroquois site in Pom- 

 pey. Two human faces appear side by side, at slightly different 

 angles Avith the bowl. This arrangement is somewhat rare,, and 

 although the pipe is otherwise simple it may be called unique. 



Fig. 173 shows a fine bear's head pipe from Pompey, of the early 

 part of the 17th century. The head and most of the body and bowl 

 project greatly toward the rear. There are undulating and nearly 

 vertical grooves on the sides of the body, and the usual grooves 

 and elliptic indentations along the stem. There is the usual con- 

 ventional projection of the tail^ and the surface is polished. The 

 length is 5f inches. There are many fine pipes of this type, but 

 none, perhaps^ uniting so many fine features as this. 



Fig. 174 is one of a class where the open mouth of some animal 

 forms the bowl. This is from Cayuga county, and is 4^ inches long. 

 The bear's head is upturned, and the jaws are distended. Snake 

 heads were often represented on similar bowls. 



Fig. 175 is another of the many faced pipes found on the Onon- 

 daga site of 1600, and is the most graceful in its curves of any yet 

 found, though smaller than some, the greatest diameter being less 

 than 2 inches. One face has been broken off at the top, where 

 there should have been five, but 13 remain on the fragment. The 

 faces are grotesque and curiously intertwined, and the surface is 

 as glossy as in some other pipes of that period. 



Fig. 176 shows a fine trumpet pipe, widely expanded at the top. 

 The rim has vertical indentations, and there are bands and dots 

 below this on the bowl. It comes from Venice, Cayuga county, 

 and is 4 inches long. From the location it would seem compar- 

 atively recent. 



Fig. 177 has the general trumpet form, but is very thick as well 

 as short. The low bowl is widely expanded, and there are moldings 

 below the rim. The length is 3^ inches, and it comes from Ken- 

 daia, near the east shore of Seneca lake, where a Seneca village was 

 destroyed in 1779.
