  diameter 
  eleven 
  sixteenths 
  of 
  an 
  inch. 
  Fig. 
  127 
  shows 
  two 
  from 
  a 
  

   recent 
  Cayuga 
  site, 
  a 
  very 
  little 
  longer, 
  but 
  otherwise 
  like 
  the 
  last. 
  

   The 
  use 
  is 
  conjectural. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  138 
  is 
  a 
  straight 
  sided 
  but 
  tapering 
  flat 
  ornament 
  of 
  pipestone 
  

   from 
  Cayuga. 
  It 
  is 
  two 
  and 
  three 
  sixteenths 
  inches 
  long, 
  and 
  very 
  

   narrow. 
  Fig. 
  148 
  is 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  material 
  and 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  local- 
  

   ity. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  rectangular 
  disk, 
  with 
  a 
  central 
  circular 
  opening, 
  and 
  two 
  

   small 
  perforations; 
  one 
  on 
  each 
  side. 
  Fig. 
  149 
  is 
  another 
  long 
  pipe- 
  

   stone 
  ornament 
  from 
  Munnsville, 
  with 
  straight 
  converging 
  sides. 
  

   Fig. 
  150 
  is 
  rarer, 
  but 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  material 
  and 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  place. 
  

   It 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  trefoil, 
  showing 
  a 
  human 
  figure 
  on 
  one 
  surface. 
  Length 
  

   thirteen 
  sixteenths 
  of 
  an 
  inch. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  162 
  is 
  a 
  remarkable 
  article 
  from 
  a 
  much 
  frequented 
  early 
  site 
  

   on 
  Onondaga 
  Lake. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  cup-shaped 
  highly 
  polished 
  pendant 
  

   of 
  brown 
  sandstone, 
  perforated 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  for 
  suspension. 
  The 
  

   inside 
  distinctly 
  shows 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  the 
  rimming 
  tool, 
  but 
  the 
  out- 
  

   side 
  has 
  been 
  carefully 
  polished. 
  It 
  is 
  nearly 
  an 
  inch 
  in 
  diameter, 
  

   and 
  seems 
  unique 
  here. 
  A 
  similar 
  broken 
  one 
  has 
  been 
  found 
  in 
  

   California. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  181 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  pipestone 
  ornaments 
  with 
  converging 
  sides, 
  

   but 
  differs 
  from 
  most 
  in 
  rising 
  to 
  a 
  ridge 
  in 
  the 
  center 
  of 
  each 
  sur- 
  

   face. 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  central 
  longitudinal 
  perforation. 
  This 
  is 
  also 
  from 
  

   Cayuga 
  County. 
  It 
  is 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  eighth 
  inches 
  long 
  by 
  a 
  little 
  

   over 
  an 
  inch 
  broad. 
  Figs. 
  182 
  and 
  183 
  are 
  small 
  dagger-shaped 
  

   ornaments 
  of 
  pipestone 
  from 
  Munnsville; 
  the 
  latter 
  perforated 
  for 
  

   suspension. 
  Fig. 
  190 
  is 
  another 
  Cayuga 
  example 
  of 
  the 
  fiat 
  pipe- 
  

   stone 
  ring, 
  perforated 
  as 
  usual. 
  Fig. 
  199 
  is 
  similar, 
  and 
  this 
  form 
  

   is 
  very 
  common 
  on 
  recent 
  sites. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  194 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  pipestone 
  ornament 
  from 
  Munnsville. 
  The 
  

   sides 
  are 
  curved, 
  and 
  the 
  general 
  appearance 
  not 
  unlike 
  that 
  of 
  a 
  

   Masonic 
  level. 
  Masonic 
  silver 
  emblems 
  were 
  common 
  among 
  the 
  

   Indians 
  a 
  little 
  later. 
  Fig. 
  195, 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  place, 
  is 
  heart-shaped, 
  

   and 
  dots 
  are 
  disposed 
  parallel 
  with 
  the 
  margin. 
  It 
  is 
  perforated 
  at 
  

   the 
  lower 
  point. 
  Fig. 
  198 
  has 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  some 
  small 
  animal 
  made 
  

   of 
  pipestone. 
  This 
  is 
  from 
  Cayuga.
