the angle and the top of the bowl^ where there is a sudden enlarge- 

 ment. This is adorned with vertical and diagonal lines. 



Fig. 20I has a swollen base to the bowl, ornamented with diagonal 

 and vertical lines. It is 3f inches long, and was found 2 feet under- 

 ground in Owego^ in 1897. 



Fig. 202 is a white clay pipe from Munnsville, where the Oneidas 

 lived. It has no heel, but in the slight cartouche beneath the bowl 

 are the letters E. B. The form is very different from the earlier 

 pipes bearing these initials, which have barrellike bowls and prom- 

 inent heels. At the same time it differs much from recent pipes. 

 Barrels of pipes were given to the Indians by the English. 



Fig. 203 shows a pipe from Hoffman's Ferry, of quite unusual 

 character. It is reduced in the drawing to three-fourths size, the 

 actual extent being now 2J inches, but the stem has been broken. 

 It was found on the fiats of the Mohawk river, and Mr P. M. Van 

 Epps, the owner, says, ' The dot and line ornamentation has been 

 impressed before baking, but the work representing the mouth, nose 

 and eyes, has been cut in the material after burning. Both sides 

 have the face, which is cut much alike, except that the reverse has 

 two nasal orifices.' It is quite narrow for the length, and seems 

 an early form. 



Fig. 204 has an upturned wolf's head on the margin of the bowl. 

 The mouth is not open, and there are other examples of the gen- 

 eral form. There are grooves around the bowl, and grooves and 

 elliptic indentations on the stem. This is an Oneida pipe from 

 Munnsville. 



Fig. 205 is a frequent -form of Cayuga pipe, easily imitated from its 

 simplicity of design. 



Fig. 206 is a human faced pipe bowl from Indian Fort, Pompey, 

 having a head dress of dots and lines. The curved stem has been 

 broken. Indian Fort is considered a recent site, but this pipe is 

 of an early Iroquois type, like most relics there now. 



Fig. 207 is perfectly plain, and slightly curved, suggesting that 

 stone tubes may well have been used for pipes. It is 4 inches long, 

 and comes from Farley's point, Cayuga lake.
