Monitor Pipe. — Under the name of “ monitor ” pipes, Mr. J. D 
McGuire has described and figured a style of pipe which has been 
found in many parts of eastern North America, and also among the 
aboriginal remains recovered from the mounds. 
Fig. 3, plate ix, shows a pipe of this kind now in the collections 
of this society. It was found in 1897 on a gravel knoll on the farm 
of Francis Doherty, at New Ireland, Albert county (on the headwaters 
of the Upper Salmon River). It is made of dark green chlorite and 
is in a battered condition. Portions of the surface which have not 
been injured show a high polish and indicate that originally this was 
a handsome pipe. The bottom of the stem is flat, and at its widest 
part measures one and a quarter inches, narrowing to seven-eighths of 
an inch. On top the centre of the stem is marked by a well-defined 
ridge. The stem hole, one-quarter of an inch in diameter, is smoothly 
and evenly drilled, and Mr, McGuire considers that in these pipes the 
drilling has been done with steel tools. The rim of the bowl has been 
partly broken away ; the interior, which is one and seven-sixteenths 
inches deep and thirteen-sixteenths of an inch in diameter, is elliptical 
in shape and perfectly smooth. The stem is ornamented with incised 
lines at right angles to it, and there are indications that the rim of 
the bowl has been adorned in the same way. The height of rim of 
bowl above ridge of stem is one and one-eighth inches ; length of pipe 
two and one-quarter inches. 
Micmac Pipe — This pipe (fig. 1, pi. ix) was found by one of our 
corresponding members, Dr. A. C. Smith, in the summer of 1899, at 
an old Indian camping-ground, on the land opposite South Tracadie 
Gully. Associated with it were a number of other articles of undoubted 
aboriginal manufacture, such as stone arrow-heads, spear-heads, etc., 
an account of which will be published in our next Bulletin. 
This pipe is two and one-eighth inches in length, and the material 
of which it is made is a fine dark slate. It has a thin keel one-six- 
teenth of an inch in width at bottom, and thickening to one-eighth of 
an inch at junction with the stem. This keel has seven holes, appar- 
ently bored partly from each side, as the holes are largest at the sur- 
face and smallest at the centre. The first and second holes are some- 
what larger than the others, and the boring has been done while the 
pipe was held an an angle to the body of the worker. The keel has
