Fig. 83 is a fragment from the double walled fort near Baldwins- 

 ville. There is a horizontal line of moderate sized crescents, and 

 another of ellipses. Others like this occur^ and the grooves, with 

 deeper, rounded indentations, are frequent. 



Fig. 84 is a vessel found a mile west of Fort Plain. It is a well- 

 rounded vessel with a moderately projecting rim. There are two 

 moldings at the top, and below these a row of elliptic indentations: 

 The projection is neatly notched, and there are vertical grooves in 

 the plainer surface just below. It is 4I inches deep, and 5| in 

 diameter. Fig. 85 is a double cup from the hill east of Wagner's 

 hollow. The base is uniform, but there are two constrictions 

 above, where the two cups open at an angle. This rare article is 

 ornamented with diagonal and vertical lines, and is if inches across. 

 Fig. 86 is also from the bluff near Wagner's hollow. It has deep 

 diagonal grooves, crossed by those which are horizontal, thus form- 

 ing lines of angular projections. The usual basal projection is 

 deeply notched. 



Fig. 87 is a rim from Oneida lake, decorated with horizontal and 

 sloping lines, and with the basal projection notched. Several large 

 rings, with smaller ones inside, are also arranged in a sloping line. 

 This feature is that of the Jesfferson county pottery, not much far- 

 ther north, and it probably came thence. Fig. 88 is a fine rim from 

 the Otstungo site, near Fort Plain. It has notches within and on 

 top. From the top there is a broad slope outward to the prom- 

 inent projection, which is deeply notched at the edge. This broad 

 surface is divided into checker work by diagonal grooves, sloping 

 both ways at right angles. The work is neat. 



Fig. 89 is from the fort west of Cazenovia, and is taken from a 

 photograph. The length was probably double that of the figure. 

 It is part of a very broad and short human body, laid on the orna- 

 mented vessel in the usual way. The lower limbs show little more 

 than the feet, and the whole figure may have been grotesque. Fi_g. 

 90 is a rim from Henderson Harbor, in Jefferson county. The edge 

 of the rim is finely and neatly notched, the remainder of the sur- 

 face being adorned with horizontal and diagonal lines of varying 

 width. The prominent feature is two lines of crescents, sloping 

 in opposite directions between the diagonal grooves.
