It is not my purpose to enter into anydiscussion about pipes in general, but sim-ply to describe several forms recentlybrought to notice.

It will be seen that both types aresomewhat rare, although Figure 1 occurs,perhaps, more frequently than Figure are not more than one or twospecimens, to my knowledge, of the samecharacter as Figure 3 in any of the mu-seums. In most effigy pipes, the figure isnicely rounded, angles being avoided. Inthis specimen the bill (for it appears to bea bird) is the only real effigy part, althoughthe eyes are delineated. The side, back,top and bottom are flat, with square FIGURE I. STONB PIPE, MADISONVILLE, O. Figure 2 comes from Romney, W. Va.,and is of clay. It is of long slender type,common to Western New York, and theSouth. Although built on the same gen-eral plan as Figure 1, it can hardly beplaced in the same class. It is the onlyclay pipe in the series herewith presented. Figure 4 was found in Warren County,Ohio, and appears to represent a wolf orbear. As in the case of the other three, itis small and appears to be an individualpipe, instead of one used in councils. Thebowl holds a little more than a thimblefulof tobacco, and during the smoking, the nose of the effigy is turned down. It iscut from hard, black granite. Figure 5 is of the platform type, and wasfound in one of the mounds of the Hope-well group in Ross County, Ohio. Its pe-culiarity lies in the fact that the bowl is nearthe end instead of in the middle of the plat-form. This specimen is about two inchesin height and three and a half inches is at present in the Field Columbia
