  Pipes 
  of 
  this 
  urn-shaped 
  type 
  are 
  found 
  also 
  along 
  the 
  head- 
  

   waters 
  of 
  the 
  St 
  Lawrence, 
  on 
  the 
  south 
  shores 
  of 
  Lake 
  Ontario 
  

   and 
  Lake 
  Erie, 
  and 
  along 
  the 
  upper 
  waters 
  of 
  the 
  Ohio 
  and 
  its 
  

   affluents, 
  a 
  typical 
  specimen 
  being 
  from 
  Accotink, 
  Virginia, 
  while 
  

   yet 
  other 
  specimens 
  in 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  National 
  Museum 
  collec- 
  

   tion 
  are 
  from 
  New 
  York, 
  Pennsylvania, 
  Ohio, 
  West 
  Virginia, 
  Ken- 
  

   tucky,

  If 
  the 
  area 
  of 
  distribution 
  of 
  the 
  urn-shaped 
  pipe 
  is 
  compared 
  

   with 
  the 
  tribal 
  distribution 
  first 
  known 
  to 
  the 
  whites, 
  as 
  it 
  appears 
  

   on 
  Powell's 
  linguistic 
  map, 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  seen 
  that 
  this 
  especial 
  form 
  of 
  

   the 
  bowl 
  pipe 
  is 
  found 
  in 
  Iroquoian 
  territory 
  on 
  the 
  north, 
  through 
  

   the 
  Algonquin 
  on 
  the 
  south 
  into 
  the 
  southern 
  Iroquoians. 
  It 
  should 
  

   be 
  remembered 
  that 
  this 
  area 
  corresponds, 
  reasonably, 
  with 
  the 
  

   territory 
  influenced 
  by 
  French 
  trade 
  before 
  the 
  advent 
  of 
  the 
  En- 
  

   glish. 
  The 
  territory 
  is 
  also 
  in 
  the 
  line 
  of 
  travel 
  from 
  the 
  St 
  Law- 
  

   rence 
  to 
  the 
  Ohio. 
  The 
  writer 
  is 
  unable 
  to 
  determine 
  how 
  far 
  this 
  

   urn-shaped 
  type 
  of 
  pipe 
  has 
  been 
  governed 
  by 
  European 
  influences. 
  

   Its 
  contour 
  is 
  similar 
  to 
  pottery 
  bowls 
  from 
  Tennessee, 
  specimens 
  

   of 
  which 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  National 
  Museum 
  collection. 
  

  

  Figure 
  3, 
  pi. 
  22 
  is 
  of 
  an 
  egg-shaped 
  pipe 
  bowl 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  material 
  

   as 
  the 
  one 
  just 
  described. 
  Around 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  bowl 
  is 
  a 
  groove 
  

   which 
  meets 
  at 
  the 
  stem 
  hole. 
  In 
  Moorehead's 
  Prehistoric 
  Imple- 
  

   ments, 
  page 
  334, 
  is 
  figured 
  one 
  of 
  these 
  pipes 
  from 
  the 
  Ohio 
  valley. 
  

   Moorehead 
  remarks 
  that 
  its 
  peculiarity 
  lies 
  in 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  

   grooved 
  around 
  the 
  center. 
  There 
  is 
  nothing 
  in 
  either 
  of 
  these 
  pipes 
  

   to 
  suggest 
  European 
  influence 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  the 
  writer 
  can 
  discover. 
  

   The 
  drilling 
  and 
  workmanship 
  seem 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  done 
  with 
  stone 
  

   implements 
  entirely. 
  Figure 
  4 
  is 
  a 
  pipe 
  bowl 
  cut 
  from 
  a 
  hardened 
  

   clay. 
  The 
  surface 
  has 
  weathered 
  black 
  but 
  the 
  underlying 
  color 
  is 
  

   red. 
  In 
  form 
  the 
  pipe 
  is 
  claw 
  or 
  beaklike 
  and 
  is 
  similar 
  to 
  other 
  

   forms 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  Iroquoian 
  area. 
  The 
  bowl 
  hole 
  is 
  small 
  com- 
  

   paratively 
  and 
  the 
  stem 
  hole 
  large 
  and 
  conical 
  as 
  is 
  the 
  case 
  with 
  

   all 
  the 
  pipe 
  bowls 
  of 
  the 
  collection. 
  This 
  pipe 
  is 
  from 
  grave 
  CV 
  

   and 
  was 
  found 
  with 
  pot 
  no. 
  471 
  [see

  A 
  small 
  pipe 
  

   carved 
  from 
  the 
  local 
  shale 
  imitating 
  this 
  form 
  was 
  found 
  in 
  an 
  ash 
  

   pit, 
  perhaps 
  a 
  grave 
  fire, 
  near 
  this 
  grave. 
  The 
  pipe 
  is 
  pictured 
  in 
  

   figure 
  1, 
  plate 
  22. 
  A 
  small 
  stone 
  pipe 
  with 
  a 
  short 
  neck 
  into 
  which 
  

   a 
  reed 
  stem 
  was 
  evidently 
  designed 
  to 
  fit 
  is 
  shown 
  in 
  plate 
  22, 
  figure 
  

   7. 
  This 
  pipe 
  is 
  of 
  about 
  the 
  same 
  material 
  as 
  the 
  large 
  clay 
  form 
  

   pipe 
  and 
  has 
  two 
  parallel 
  lines 
  incised 
  on 
  the 
  underside 
  of 
  the 
  neck. 
  

   It 
  was 
  found 
  in 
  grave 
  CI, 
  pit 
  141, 
  and 
  lay 
  on 
  the 
  arm 
  of 
  a 
  male. 
  

   The 
  pipe 
  represented 
  by 
  figure 
  6, 
  plate 
  22 
  is 
  the 
  only 
  stone 
  pipe 
  of 
  

   the 
  stemmed 
  type 
  found. 
  It 
  is 
  carved 
  from 
  a 
  species 
  of 
  serpentine 
  

   and 
  is 
  smoothed 
  and 
  polished. 
  In 
  the 
  process 
  of 
  drilling 
  the 
  stem 
  

   the 
  drill 
  penetrated 
  too 
  near 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  bowl 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  a
