others. Fig - , no is a smaller and simpler form, almost identical 

 with the English one mentioned except in material. Like that, it 

 has a curved base, and the sun and moon between this and the 

 square. Another interesting thing in connection with this is men- 

 tioned by Mrs Converse. She said: "It was given me by the 

 grandson of Red Jacket. It proved from that Red Jacket was a 

 Mason, and wore this brooch for pass. In further investigation,, 

 while working at the Red Jacket monument at Buffalo, I heard of a 

 man who had sat in a lodge with the great Sa-go-ye-wat-ha." The 

 brooch hardly proves this, the other evidence is hearsay, but, if Red 

 Jacket was a member of the craft, it would appear on some of its- 

 records. He was too well known to be easily overlooked in such a 

 matter. 



Fig. 113 is smaller and less elegant, but has the same features. 

 in a more conventional way. Fig. 117 is larger and more elaborate. 

 Fig. 119 is one of the simplest forms, having but two apertures,, 

 but these are large. The surface is covered with tracery. Fig.. 120 

 is quite conventional, but the leading features of other forms are 

 readily detected. Fig. 126 is simple, with but little surface decora- 

 tion. 



Fig. km; is a Seneca brooch, differing from some other elaborate 

 ones only in minor details. This has six bosses, which are smaller 

 than in most others. This and the next are in the Richmond collec- 

 tion. Fig. 114 is a large and quite frequent form with many acces- 

 sories. By omitting the outside loops the design would become 

 much like those of a simpler and more distinct character, a fact 

 easily tested. Fig. 106 shows a fine example from the Tuscarora 

 reservation, having 15 large and small bosses. On either side, at 

 the top are angular projections, terminating in embossed ends.. 

 These adjuncts belong to several. Fig. in is in the Richmond 

 collection, and presents the feature mentioned in a less common 

 w ay. 



Fig. 116 is in the Buffalo collection, and is one of the rarest of 

 these small forms, as well as one of the most beautiful. Did it 

 stand alone, its character might not be understood, but in a series, 

 this is evident. The base has a border of small bosses, except 

 in the middle, and the lateral projecting points at the top are ter- 

 minated by others. The tracery adds some peculiar features to the 

 design.
