excavated, and the work on them was never completed. The bowl 
is so shallow (f of an inch deep) that it is possible that part of the 
top has been broken away. The stem hole is T s -g of an inch in diameter 
narrowing to J of an inch. 
Unlike many similar stone pipes, this specimen shows no signs of 
having been made with the aid of metal tools. A flake of quartz or 
ehert would work well on such material, and probably some such 
implement was used. When completed and ready for use the pipe 
would have been fitted with a stem of wood or bone. 
Iroquois Pipe. — The pipe (PI. ix, fig. 4) belonging to Professor 
Bailey is one of great interest. It was found some years ago in the 
basin below Aroostook Falls, and is in good preservation. 
A description was given in a former Bulletin*, but as many copies 
of that number were issued without plates, I have thought it well to 
again draw attention to it. 
It is a clay pipe, and on the inner side of the bowl, facing the 
smoker, the aboriginal artist imprinted a human face. It is a well 
baked piece of pottery, of which the body is dark grey, and rather 
coarse, and the exterior is covered with a reddish glaze, due to im- 
proper firing. A gloss has been produced on this paste, by rubbing, 
before the baking. In the depressions, however, round the mouth and 
eyes, there is no gloss, so the shining surface may be partly due to 
use. The color is reddish brown, but on portions of the bov/1 and 
stem dark patches appear. The interior of the bowl shows a fire 
crack on each side, nearly an inch long, produced in the baking of the 
pipe. The bowl is thick, and the bore of small capacity — 1|- inches in 
depth — trumpet shape, and narrowing down from a diameter at rim of 
| of an inch to \ of an inch where the stem hole enters. The rim is 
decorated with a lattice work pattern of incised lines about of an 
inch in length. The ornamentation is nearly obliterated by wear. 
This pipe clearly belongs to the type which McGuire calls “Iroquoian,” 
from the observed fact that it is the type found distributed over that 
area of North America formerly inhabited by the northern Iroquoian 
tribes. 
It is well known that the Mohawks were in the habit of making 
forays into this province, and on such an occasion this pipe may have 
been lost.
