A pipe from Binghamton has a grotesque face, with a long pro- 

 jecting nose. A perfect pipe has a wolfs head, with vertical grooves 

 behind. A line of elliptic indentations runs from the head far down 

 the stem. It is 6f inches long, and comes from Cazenovia. A 

 finely polished and perfect pipe, 6J inches long, is from Phoenix, on 

 the Oswego river. It has the corded ornament at the top of the 

 bowl, interrupted by two broader grooves. The stem is more 

 gradually curved than in most of this type. 



A large pipe of red clay, from Schoharie county, has double mold- 

 ings at the base of the bowl. The latter expands like open jaws. A 

 trumpet pipe, from Stone Arabia, has grooves and dots, and a rim 

 2-1 inches wide. A large pipe from the Otstungo site is 6^ inches 

 long, and curved. A now headless goose shows its foot. The pipes 

 there have usually long stems. A fine trumpet pipe from this place 

 is 6|- inches long, and has moldings. Another angular pipe from 

 this fort, with an expanding bowl, has a raised wolf's head, turned 

 to the front, which is unusual in so early an example. A cylindric 

 bowl, with vertical and horizontal dots and lines, is ij inches wide, 

 and comes from Canajoharie. Another broadly expanded trumpet 

 pipe, with moldings and grooves, is 6 inches long, and comes from 

 Stone Arabia. Quite an odd find in clay pipes is one from Frey's 

 Bush, which is a brown earthenware imitation of European pipes. 



Oneida pipes are not rare, and fine examples of them are found 

 in many collections, where they have become widely dispersed. 

 They occur mostly in the vicinity of Oneida creek, and some have 

 been described from Nichols' pond. A bowl, ij inches wide, and 

 having horizontal and diagonal lines and dots, is from Munnsville. 

 A large bowl, having a large bear's head, with grooves and dots 

 behind the head, is from Madison county, and is 2^ inches wide. 

 Another bowl, with an animal head, and grooves and ellipses on the 

 bowl and stem, is from Munnsville, and a niched pipe comes from 

 near the same place. 



Among the odd serpent pipes is the fragment of a large bowl 

 from Baldwinsville. The scaly folds are well worked, but are not 

 parallel, and between them, in one place, is a large protuberance, 

 much like an tgg. Another curious bowl from the same place has
