The circles are arranged in single, double, and triple vertical rows, 
diagonal rows, horizontal row r s, and in groups of three, four, and five circles. 
Single, double, and triple vertical rows of from two to seven circles 
(depending mostly on the width of the collar and the size of the circles, 
although in a few cases the number of circles in a row varied on the same 
rim) occur on many rims and a few necks and shoulders of pots, and on a 
pipe bowl. Some of these are seen in Plate VI, figure 17, Plate VII, figure 1, 
Plate VIII, figures 1, 15, 19, 23, and Plate X, figure 11. 
There are single diagonal rows of from two to twelve circles, mostly 
slanting to the right, in combination with vertical rows on a few pots. 
Horizontal rows of circles, in a few cases forming the sole decoration, 
occur on a few rims, necks, and shoulders of pots (See Plate VII, figures 3 
and 8, and Plate VIII, figures 4, 22, 25, 27, 28) , and on the bowls of two 
earthenware pipes. 
In a few cases the circles occur in groups of two under the peaked parts 
of the rim, and at intervals around the rim on a few r other pots (See Plate 
VIII, figure 16, and Plate X, figure 15). Triangular groups of circles, which 
are placed at the top, middle, or bottom of the collar, occur on ordinary 
overhanging rims (See Plate IX, figures 3, 13) ; on angular lips, some of 
which are seen in Plate IX, figures 14, 17, 23; on the angles of polygonal 
rims (Plate VII, figure 2, and Plate IX, figures 5-7), mostly below the 
peaked elevations of the rims; above the handle (Plate X, figure 16), and 
below the handle. The groups are side by side on the rim of the pot seen 
in Plate VII, figure 11. They are seen with a diagonal row of circles on 
the fragment in Plate IX, figure 13; with a vertical row on two rims; with 
both vertical and diagonal rows on two others; and with a horizontal row 
on the shoulder fragment in Plate VIII, figure 28. These groups of circles 
are also seen in other positions, being upside down on a few angular lips, 
on the angles of a polygonal rim, and below the peaks on several other rims 
(See Plate IX, figure 4). Another arrangement is seen on the lip fragment 
in Plate IX, figure 8. 
Groups of four circles, forming a square, are seen on a few rim frag- 
ments (See Plate VIII, figure 18). 
The arrangement of the circles seen on the rim fragment in Plate IX, 
figure 9, occurred on six pots, and that on the one in figure 10, in the same 
plate, on two others. 
Although some of the other groupings of circles are seen on pottery 
from Huron and Mohawk-Onondaga sites, ihe most common on Mohawk- 
Onondaga pottery consists of triangular groups of circles. Pottery with this 
motive has been found on sites in Grenville, Stormont, and Glengarry 
counties, Ontario; Hull (See Smith, 2, Plate LXXXIII), Huntingdon, 
Hochelaga, and Berthier counties, Quebec; Jefferson county, New York (See 
Skinner, 4, Plates XXVIII, XXIX), and in Vermont (See Perkins, 3, Plate 
XXXVI, figure e). It is seen on only a few Neutral pots (See author, 8, 
Plate XIV, figures 18-20). It also appears on a Mandan pot from North 
Dakota (See Holmes, 2, Plate CLXXV, figure a), on a pot from Ohio (See 
Shetrone, Figure 3), and on another from Florida (See Moore, 6, Figure 3). 
Ornamentation in relief, consisting of vertical, diagonal, and horizontal 
ridges and V-shaped and trifid figures, occurs on rim and shoulder frag- 
ments of a few pots (See Plate II, figure 34, Plate V, figures 5, 28, 29, and
