Fig. 13 Is from a circular stockade two miles south of the Seneca 

 river. It is a notched and projecting rim, with two narrow parallel 

 grooves above. The projection is rather thin, and below this, all 

 is plain. Fig. 14 is a rim from a stockade on the north side of 

 Seneca river. The rim is simple, and is angularly undulated on top. 

 Below are grooves, both horizontal and sloping. In a plain space 

 inclosed by these, are several long triangular indentations. A 

 basal groove indicates a slight projection. 



Fig. 15 is a^fine rim from Jefterson county. There are deep slop- 

 ing notches at the edge, above three broad horizontal grooves. 

 Below these are curved and sloping grooves on one side. On the 

 other are two large indentations above, and several triangular ones 

 below. Then come two horizontal grooves^ and a line of deep 

 diamond indentations on the base of the projection. Below this it 

 seems to have been perfectly plain. 



Fig. 16 is a handsome rim from Onondaga lake, curving grace- 

 fully to the lower part. There are both diagonal and horizontal 

 lines, angularly indented and quite closely arranged. The rim has 

 lines on top, and the whole piece is thin and much curved. Fig. 17 

 is perfectly straight-sided within. Outside there is a slight projec- 

 tion of the upper part. On the upper part of the fragment, which 

 does not include the rim, though it may nearly have reached it, are 

 shallow and vertical grooves. The indentations at the edge of the 

 projection were formed by pinching the clay between the thumb 

 and finger. This style of ornamenting will frequently be found. 

 The fragment is from a stockade two miles south of the Seneca 

 river. The vessel must have been large or angular, although not 

 thick. 



Fig. 18 is a fragment from a stockade on the north bank of the 

 Seneca river. The decoration remaining is a row of large and deep 

 triangles which are not equilateral. All become deeper from the 

 long side to the broad angle. They were made by the inclined 

 pressure of some broad and straight edged implement. Fig. 19, 

 from the Seneca river, is a very fine rim, the upper part of which has 

 a broad and even slope. This has rows of diamond indentations, 

 narrowly divided in the rows. Below the projection are two hori-
