Fig. 69 is a curiously ornamented rim from Oswego Falls. It is 

 quite light in color, and has a double row of large indentations 

 on top. On the edge are vertical and curved notches or grooves. 

 Three lines of ellipses are below these, and then several rows of 

 somewhat arrow-shaped indentations, lapping one on another. 



Fig. 70 is the larger part of a vessel from the Otstungo site, near 

 Fort Plain. The lower part is neatly rounded, and the ornamented 

 part now occupies about half the side. This is adorned with hori- 

 zontal, vertical, and diagonal grooves. This part very slightly pro- 

 jects outside of the rest. It probably was not much higher. Fig. 

 71 is from the same place. It is a much curved fragment, orna- 

 mented by the impressions of finger nails. Such specimens occa- 

 sionally appear elsewhere. Fig. J2 is from Oneida lake, and shows 

 a frequent ornament, unusually arranged. At the edge of the rim 

 are elliptic notches, and below are horizontal, vertical and diagonal 

 lines, with the small and deeper indentations in them which are 

 so common. These are neatly arranged, but the fragment is some- 

 what peculiar in having these continued in another series below the 

 projection. 



Fig. y^ is a curious rim from the Seneca river, of a type appar- 

 ently more common in Canada than in New York. The peculiar 

 feature is the raised vertical bars, protruding from the side and 

 passing over the top. These have cross grooves, and come to a 

 point above the rim, making deep notches in it. There are irregular 

 vertical lines between these bars, which latter project -^^ of an 

 inch above the general surface. The rim is thickened and orna- 

 mented within. The fragment is the projecting upper part of the 

 vessel, which was quite thin below this. The vertical lines pass 

 over the rim and within, making a scalloped edge. 



Fig. 74 is from Brewerton, and has diagonal zig-zag grooves 

 above, giving it a rich appearance. Below are horizontal mold- 

 ings, with lines of diamond .indentations. Fig. 75 is a neat, notched 

 rim from Onondaga lake, ornamented on top. The undulating 

 lines give it somewhat the appearance of Zuni ware. Fig. yd is 

 a fragment from the same place. It has an eccentric pattern of 

 curved and irregular grooves, with some sharp angles, very difificult
