is larger than here represented, and the deep notches at the basal 

 projection are here omitted. This elevated site has some remark- 

 able earthenware^ mixed with European articles. Fig. 37 is a neat 

 rim from a stockade west of Baldwinsville. A row of elliptic in- 

 dentations is arranged diagonally above, where the rim curves over 

 to the inner line of the vessel. Below this the deep grooves are 

 separated by ridges crossed by spiral hnes. 



Fig. 38 is a fine and rare piece from Brewerton, angular above, 

 a'nd with diagonal zig-zag grooves on the narrow projection above. 

 Below these and under the projection are broad diagonal grooves, 

 broken by cross indentations. Similar narrow grooves appear 

 below, and a handsome decoration is suggested below all. The 

 same style of ornament is seen within. Fig. 39 merely shows the 

 rim of a large fragment, the top of which has convex vertical pro- 

 jections above the side of the vessel. The side is adorned with the 

 common grooves. This is from the recent site east of Wagner's 

 hollow, Montgomery county. Fig. 40 is a thin and very curious 

 notched rim from the same place. The general surface is plain, 

 but at the rim there are long curved or elliptic indentations, inter- 

 spersed with shorter ones. It is both simple and rude, as well as 

 quite modern. 



Fig. 41 is from the same place, and is the most remarkable 

 human figure yet found on an earthenware vessel. One feature 

 is that most of it was molded with the vessel instead of separately, 

 but this does not apply to all parts. There are the usual cross bars 

 on the body, but none appear on the limbs, which is a departure 

 from the type, as in a later Seneca example. It is also the only one 

 yet found which is not symmetrical in arrangement, one hand being 

 raised in this, and the other turned down. The toes are very long. 

 In this and some other fragments, the grooves baqjc of the body 

 suggest plumes, and the maker may have taken a hint from the 

 winged angels and cherubs of the white man. There are other out- 

 side grooves variously arranged, with odd features at the basal pro- 

 jection. The face is inferior to those made separately, and there 

 is a great contrast in the two arms. In another from this site, the 

 face and body were molded with the vessel, the body having the
