SOME RELICS OF THE INDIANS OF VERMONT. 15 
an inch wide, and has a row of the same rings around it. Above 
this neck the top again swells and becomes square like the sides, 
and the edge curves from the corners to- Fig. 2. 
ward the centre. It is ornamented with E 
a somewhat different arrangement of 
lines from that of the sides, as is shown 
in Fig. 1, B. The sides from b to ¢ are 
2.5 inches high, and at the bottom about 
six inches broad, and five at the top. 
Two of them are a little broader than 
the rest. Around the inner edge of the = 
top there is a band of short parallel lines, but with this exception 
the interior is destitute of markings. All the lines Fig. 3. 
are very distinct, indeed they are narrow grooves 
rather than lines, being on the average .06 of an inch 
wide and from .02 to .04 of an inch deep. None 
of them are exactly straight, though very nearly so. 
The rings are twice as deep as the lines. The 
thickness increases from the bottom upwards, a 
piece broken from the bottom shows a thickness 
of .22 of an inch; at the neck, where a corner is 
broken off, it is .32 of an inch, and at the top .37. 
Other measurements are as follows: whole height 
7.5 inches; diameter of top 5.1 inches (inside) ; di- 
ameter of neck 4.6 inches; length of curve, a to b, 
11 inches; circumference of neck 16.5 inches; circumference 
Fig. 4. around a, b, i.e. the largest part, 27 
inches ; length of one side of top, i.e. 
from c to d, 5.4 inches ; height of c, d, 
1.75 inches. When filled to the very 
brim, it holds nine pints. 
Another larger jar, Fig. 2, was found 
in Bolton, Vermont, about fifty years 
ago. It is not ornamented except by 
a ring about the neck. The general 
form is spherical, the top being con- 
tracted to form a neck. The mouth is 
wide. The color is a drab, and the whole surface is entirely | 
smooth except the brim. Around this is a band about an inch 
wide, made up of oblique lines. Below this is a line of notch-like
