ripcs. Stone i)i|)('s, in\aiial)ly made of steatite, are veiy lare, 

 Vouv types ha\'e been noted as follows: 



1. Monitor or i)latfoiin })ij)e, platfoim not ])r()je('tin^ hefoi-e the 

 howl. 



2. Monitor or j)latforni l)ipe. platform projecting- before bowl, 

 with or without tiny carved stem oi- mouthpiece. Of the latter, one 

 specimen is known. 



3. Trumpet-shaped stone pipe. 



4. Rectangular stone pipe, human face carved on front of bowl. 



It may be remarked that more stone pipes have been reported from 

 the Indian cemetery at Burial Ridge, Tottenville, Staten Island, than 

 from all the rest of the area put together. The second and third types 

 are represented by one specimen each from Burial Ridge and from no- 

 where else in this region. Four or five pipes of the first class have been 

 found there as well. The last class is represented by a single specimen 

 obtained by Mr. W. L. Calver at Inwood, Manhattan Island. Un- 

 doubtedh' the clay pipe was the most common form used in this localit}'. 



Steatite Vessels. These are not at all abundant, though occurring 

 ahiiost ever}' where. The}' were doubtless* all imported from New Eng- 

 land, as there are no steatite quarries within the range of the New York 

 Coastal Algonkin. The single form found is that common in the East, 

 an oblong, fairly deep vessel with a lug, ear, or handle at each end. 

 Occasionally, such vessels are ornamented by rude incisions along the 

 rim. 



Articles of Clay. 



Pottery Pipes are common everywhere. They are usually manufac- 

 tured of a better quality of clay than that used for vessels, and bear fairly 

 similar designs. They are susceptible of division into the following 

 classes : 



1. Straight tubular form, bowl expanding sUghtly. 



2. Bowl much larger than stem, lea\dng it at an angle of forty- 

 five degrees. Stem round. 



3. Same as number 2, but stem angular and much flattened. 



4. Effigy pipes (represented by a human head apparently broken 

 from a pipe bowl, obtained by Mr. M. R. Harrington at Port 

 Washington, Long Island).
