Fig. 178 is a miniature clay pipe from Jefferson county, of the 

 trumpet form, i-J inches long. These little pipes are sometimes met 

 with^ both in clay and stone. Many of the Indian pipes, however, 

 held so little tobacco that it was needless to make toy pipes for the 

 boys. 



Fig. 179 is a long straight pipe with an expanding bowl, and is 

 much like an inverted long-necked bottle in outline. The stem is 

 almost triangular. The length is 4^ inches, and the greatest 

 diameter i^ inches. It is from Union Springs on Cayuga lake. 



Fig. 180 shows an angular pipe of unusual form, from Rutland, 

 Jefferson county. The top is slightly flaring, and there is an expan- 

 sion in the center of the bowl, which is ornamented with lines and 

 circles of dots. The projecting base takes the form of the heel in 

 early European pipes^ though very much wider. There are also 

 three holes in the stem. The length is 4I inches. This does not 

 come from a fort, but from an open site. 



Fig. 181 is a remarkably fine specimen of a rare type, involving 

 a symmetrical arrangement. The fine pigeon's head on one side of 

 the back of the bowl is balanced by another on the opposite side, and 

 a conventionalized human face appears on the rear between the bills 

 of the birds. This face is an ellipse, with three vertical elliptic in- 

 dentations. At the top and base of the bowl are broad bands, with 

 elliptic indentations. Between these are 10 horizontal grooves, 

 and there are three rows of long indentations on the flat top of the 

 stem. The bowl is 2f inches wide, and the pipe 5-| inches. This 

 came from Indian Fort, Pompey. 



Fig. 182 shows another of the open-mouthed pipes, apparently 

 of a fish. The head is upturned as usual, the mouth forming the 

 bowl. Below the bowl are circular grooves and lines of ellipses. 

 It came from East Aurora, Erie county. 



Fig. 183 is a pretty pipe from Union Springs, 3^ inches long. The 

 top is hexagonal in outline, contracting in a straight slope to the 

 moldings beneath, and ornamented with diagonal lines. Several 

 moldings form the center of the bowl, which again suddenly expands 

 before contracting into the stem, which is quite slender.
