  This 
  was 
  found 
  by 
  Mr 
  Percy 
  M 
  1 
  . 
  Van 
  Epps 
  

   of 
  Glenville. 
  In 
  his 
  collection 
  and 
  those 
  of 
  his 
  friends, 
  the 
  writer 
  

   found 
  many 
  interesting- 
  articles, 
  mostly 
  of 
  stone. 
  As 
  the 
  Mohawks 
  

   had 
  no 
  towns 
  in 
  Schenectady 
  county, 
  pottery 
  is 
  rare 
  there, 
  as 
  well 
  

   as 
  recent 
  articles. 
  

  

  The 
  Bigelow 
  collection 
  has 
  received 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  the 
  curious 
  orna- 
  

   ments 
  made 
  from 
  the 
  concave 
  and 
  convex 
  ends 
  of 
  bones, 
  pierced 
  

   for 
  suspension. 
  They 
  are 
  from 
  Pompey 
  sites 
  of 
  the 
  pre-colonial 
  

   period. 
  One 
  retains 
  traces 
  of 
  red 
  paint. 
  One 
  massive 
  and 
  carved 
  

   bone 
  bead 
  is 
  from 
  the 
  Christopher 
  site. 
  Mr 
  Bigelow 
  has 
  also 
  

   recently 
  obtained 
  a 
  fine 
  tube 
  from 
  near 
  Three 
  River 
  Point, 
  and 
  a 
  

   banner 
  stone 
  from 
  Savannah 
  N. 
  Y. 
  Both 
  are 
  of 
  striped 
  slate. 
  A 
  

   bayonet 
  slate 
  weapon 
  and 
  a 
  remarkable 
  flattened 
  bird 
  amulet 
  are 
  

   among 
  his 
  recent 
  additions. 
  

  

  Mr 
  Theodore 
  Stanford, 
  of 
  Munnsville, 
  has 
  a 
  fine 
  cylindric 
  bone 
  

   arrowhead 
  with 
  barbs, 
  and 
  also 
  a 
  worked 
  bone, 
  about 
  half 
  as 
  thick 
  

   as 
  wide. 
  This 
  is 
  3 
  inches 
  long 
  and 
  an 
  inch 
  wide 
  at 
  the 
  broad 
  end, 
  

   which 
  is 
  notched 
  all 
  around. 
  Near 
  that 
  end 
  is 
  a 
  lateral 
  perforation. 
  

   The 
  general 
  form 
  is 
  flat, 
  with 
  rounded 
  edges. 
  

  

  The 
  writer 
  has 
  also 
  examined 
  Mr 
  R. 
  D. 
  Loveland's 
  fine 
  collection 
  

   in 
  Watertown 
  N. 
  Y., 
  which 
  is 
  rich 
  in 
  clay 
  pipes 
  from 
  neighboring 
  

   forts. 
  A 
  few 
  have 
  stems 
  fitted 
  to 
  bowls 
  which 
  were 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  

   same 
  sites 
  and 
  are 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  character. 
  'They 
  are 
  not 
  always 
  cer- 
  

   tainly 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  article, 
  though 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  age. 
  Some 
  per- 
  

   fect 
  examples 
  are 
  unique, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  some 
  imperfect. 
  One 
  of 
  the 
  

   former, 
  a 
  small 
  clay 
  pipe, 
  is 
  like 
  a 
  high 
  shoe 
  in 
  outline, 
  but 
  much 
  

   compressed. 
  Dr 
  A. 
  A. 
  Getman 
  has 
  a 
  broken 
  one 
  of 
  similar 
  form. 
  

   In 
  September 
  1901, 
  the 
  writer 
  was 
  present 
  when 
  Mr 
  Oren 
  Pomeroy 
  

   took 
  out 
  of 
  a 
  Jefferson 
  county 
  camp 
  site 
  a 
  fine 
  clay 
  pipe 
  bowl, 
  hav- 
  

   ing 
  a 
  human 
  face 
  before 
  and 
  behind. 
  This 
  form 
  is 
  rare. 
  On 
  the 
  

   same 
  visit, 
  Dr 
  R. 
  W. 
  Amidon 
  presented 
  him 
  a 
  small 
  clay 
  pipe 
  bowl, 
  

   perforated 
  for 
  the 
  insertion 
  of 
  a 
  stem. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  Loveland 
  collection 
  one 
  peculiar 
  long 
  and 
  broad 
  flat 
  awl 
  

   has 
  deep 
  notches 
  on 
  each 
  edge 
  above 
  the 
  base. 
  Another 
  fine 
  ex- 
  

   ample 
  has 
  been 
  beautifully 
  mottled 
  by 
  fire. 
  A 
  bone 
  arrowhead 
  is 
  

   one 
  of 
  the 
  remarkable 
  articles 
  in 
  this 
  collection. 
  It 
  is 
  angularly 
  

   shouldered 
  but 
  not 
  strictly 
  barbed, 
  and 
  has 
  a 
  long 
  and 
  moderately 
  

   slender 
  perforated 
  tang. 
  Recently 
  Mr 
  Loveland 
  obtained 
  a 
  pipe
