It was found that there were 49 green, 422 white, 128 blue, 11 red, 19 pink, 22 black, and 8 with a white core and a red outer coat. Next, they were separated according to shape within each color group and it was found that 14 different shapes were present (fig. 6). Sizing came next, and out of the total there were 225 of the "seed" form, those that did not exceed 2 mm. in diameter. Most of the colors present in the larger types were displayed by the seed beads with the exception of the black. All seed beads were either type aorh (fig. 6) with the exception of a single specimen that was made from a square glass cane, the corners of which were slightly ground off, leaving rounded rectangular surfaces on the sides (fig. 7). One interesting group, represented by 14 specimens, were the faceted beads. They ranged in height from mm. to mm. with corre- sponding diameters. Most of them were cut from a hexagonal cane and the facets appear to have been made by rubbing each small section against some abrasive object, thus creating a number of irregular facets over either the entire surface or a part of the surface. Two spheroid faceted beads are in the lot. They are crude and show the same irregu- larities in shaping that are displayed by the cylindrical Figure 7.—Unusual square-cut glass trade Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Smithsonian Institution.
