ring only on that of the Chesapeake-Potomac group from New River 
valley and Luray, Virginia (See Holmes, 2, Plates CXXXIII, CXXXIV), 
on Mandan pots (See Will and Spinden, Plate XXXVII, figure e), and on 
a pot from a mound in Manitoba (See Smith, 2, Plate XLIV, figure 4), 
Round, flat-bottomed depressions can be seen on a few rim fragments, 
being in a vertical row of three on one (See Plate VIII, figure 2), and in a 
triangular group on two others; also on three fragments of earthenware 
Conical depressions of various sizes, which are in vertical or horizontal 
rows, in triangular groups of three, or in the centre of circles, occur on rim, 
neck, and shoulder fragments (See Plate II, figure 20, Plate VI, figure 25, 
and Plate IX, figures 1, 19, 24), _ . 
Small, oval depressions are the sole decoration on the rim fragment in 
Plate II, figure 33, on a few neck fragments, on a number of shoulder frag- 
ments, and on a few earthenware pipes ( See Plate XV, figure 37). They 
are combined with other decoration on the rims and shoulders of many 
other pots, some of which are seen on the fragments in Plate IV, figure 
16, Plate V, figure 28, Plate VI, figures 4, 14, 19, 21, 22, Plate VIII, figure 
29, and Plate IX, figure 12. , 
Half-round depressions are seen m combination with other decoration 
on a few rim fragments ( See Plate VI, figure 8). # 
There are oviform depressions on a few rims, one of which is seen 
in Plate V, figure 6 (diagonal row), and on a few shoulder fragments. 
Oblong depressions of various lengths, a few of which are horizontal, 
occur on a few rims, in a few cases on the edge, in another case on the 
inside, and in still others in the centre of circles {See Plate VIII, figures 
14, 26, and Plate IX, figures 15, 16, 18, 20) . There are vertical depressions 
around the top of the pipe bowl in Plate XV, figure 43. 
Lenticular depressions occur with other decorative elements on a 
number of rims, in some cases on the inside (See Plate III, figure 1, and 
Plate VII, figure 7) ; on a few neck fragments; on many shoulder frag- 
ments, some of which are seen in Plate II, figure 34, Plate V, figure 17 
(along bottom), and Plate VI, figure 2; and on a few earthenware pipes 
(Plate XV, figure 35, and Plate XVI, figure 26). 
Depressions resembling the clavate indentations along the lower angle 
of the collars, onlv smaller, occur with other decorative elements on a few 
rims {See Plate V, figure 1), and on a few neck and shoulder fragments 
{See Plate VI, figure 9). 
There are angular, somewhat diamond-shaped, depressions in com- 
bination with other decoration on a few rims, and they form the sole 
decoration on the inside of a few others. 
Linear crescentic and other curved depressions, consisting of those 
made with the finger-nails, occur on rim fragments of a few pots, in some 
cases being the sole decoration {See Plate II, figure 31, and Plate III, 
figure 4) , and in others combined with other elements, as on the rim frag- 
ment in Plate III, figure 30, on the edge of another rim, on the neck of the 
fragment in Plate III, figure 17, and on the neck, shoulder, and body of 
the small broken pot in Plate II, figure 22. 
Reniform depressions can be seen on the edge of a few rims and a 
few shoulder fragments of pots.
