across the pipe ; in every other case the animal-figures are so 
sculptured as to face the smoker. 
C 39- 
Nos. I to 13 are carved stone smoking-pipes. In the box No. i 
are three fragments of pipes representing the heads of animals, 
CL, probably the racoon ; |I3, bear ; and JB, wolf ; Nos. 2 
to 6, and No. 8 represent the wild cat, and other animals of 
the same genus. No. 7, i@, represents the wolf. 
Few representations of the human head have been found in 
the mounds. Four were taken from the altar of Mound No. 8, 
** Mound City," three of which are bowls of smoking-pipes. 
No. 9 is the cast of a smoking-pipe. The original, which is in 
the Collection of Mr. E. G. Squier, is of compact black stone ; 
it differs from Nos. 10, 11, and 12 in having a greater hardness 
and severity of outline. 
The figure wears a singular head-dress, falling in a broad 
fold over the back of the head as far down as the middle of 
the neck. Upon each side of the top of the head, this head- 
dress rises into projections like horns. Encircling the forehead, 
and coming down as low as the ears, is a row of fifteen small 
round holes, placed as closely as possible together, some of 
which, when the head was found, were filled in part with 
pearls, completely calcined, and only recognisable from their 
concentric lamination. The holes were doubtless all originally 
filled in the same manner. Some ornamental lines are deeply 
cut upon the face. The mouth is compressed, and the brows 
are contracted, giving the countenance an aspect of severity. 
No. 10, J3, resembles No. 9 only in having the peculiar mark- 
ings on the face. 
The features are bolder, and the outline of the face is quite 
different. The nose is large and prominent, the eyes are 
sunken and almost closed, the forehead is high and narrow, 
A portion of the hair appears to be gathered in festoons 
upon either side of the head above the ears ; the remainder 
projects in a kind of knot from the back of the head. Upon 
the top of the head is a lappet or fold, which seems detached 
from the other parts of the head-dress, and simply rests upon 
the forehead. The ears are perforated ; and, from the strongly 
attached oxide of copper around the holes, they were probably 
ornamented with rings of that metal. This head, unlike the
