2373. (42445). Probably a horse.

Human figures--dolls.

Females; simple.

2378. (42446). Is a pretty fair representation of a chair.

_EATING BOWLS._

The Laguna bowls are mostly of two sizes, either large or small. The former are eating bowls and are of the general form, or perhaps more hemispherical than usual. The small ones vary in shape from the preceding form to that of a flat-bottomed basin. The decorations present but little similarity to those we have previously described from other tribes; white ware with colored decorations.

Small bowls. Decorations all external:

2379. (41296). Square mouth, with two sides somewhat flattened. Scrolls
and leaf-like figures on the outside.

2380. (41297). Fig. 616. Shown in the figure.

2381. (42451). Basin-shaped, with a handle on one side and a lip on the
other; simple marginal and basal band with oblique lines.

2382. (42452). Fig. 617. Same form, with handle on which is seated some
animal, apparently a dog, no lip. Band of diamond figures with central
spaces. These two are the only specimens which have handles.

The following are quite small, basin-shaped, decorated with leaflike figures:

2383-2388. 2383, (42453); 2384, (42454); 2385, (42457); 2386, (42458);
2387, (42459); 2388, (42460).

The two following are small, of regular form:

2389. (42455). With two zigzag lines around the body.

2390. (42456). With geometrical figures.

Large bowls.

2391. (41265). No external decorations; radiating lines and large spaces
inside.

2392. (42474). Inner zigzag marginal line as on Zuni bowls; outer
decorations also somewhat like the usual triangular figures on the
Zuni bowls.

The following are without inner decorations:

2393-2395. 2393, (42466); 2394, (42468); 2395, (42472). With broad band
of geometrical figures; the first with a narrow scalloped band
bordering the large band below.

2396-2397. 2396, (42461), and 2397, (42473), Fig. 613. With irregular
geometrical figures; no band.

2398. (42469). With diamond marginal band; irregular figures below. Fig.
614.

2399. (42470). The large circular scroll with irregular figures; no
band.

2400. (42471). Scalloped circle with a square in it, and leaf-like
figures. Fig. 615.

COLLECTIONS FROM ACOMA.

ARTICLES OF CLAY.

_WATER VASES._

There are but few pieces of this pottery, yet a careful examination of these since my return increases my desire to procure more. The Acoma bears a strong resemblance, especially in the ornamentation, to that from Laguna. All that was obtained was of white ware with decorations in color. In this pottery, in most cases where animals are figured, they have a base or ground on which to stand.

2401. (39578). Medium size, figures of birds, ant-hills, and cactus. No
band on the neck.

2402. (39581). Fig. 618.

2403. (39582). Very pretty specimen, quite symmetrical, broad
jar-shaped, a scalloped band on the neck with little tassels suspended
from it, possibly intended to imitate fringe. Large triangles on the
body pointing to the right, each tipped with a flower.

2404. (39730). Small scalloped band around the neck similar to Fig. 624.

2405. (41310). Large double band of triangles on the neck; body with a
band of large diamonds, or squares placed as diamonds, with checkered
centers and crescents.

2406. (41313). No band on the neck; birds and ant hills.

2407. (41314). No band on neck; large elk and some irregular figures.

2408. (41315). No band on neck; bird on the ground amid leaves and
flowers.

2409. (41316). Fig. 619. The ornamentation on this is more than usually
spirited.

2410. (41318). Scalloped margin, no neck-band; belt of large open
diamonds around the body, each upper corner capped with three leaves.
See Fig. 621.

2411. (41317). Large size; a double band of crescents around the neck;
then on the shoulder an arched band with a central stripe of diamonds;
below this a double line of inverted crescents, and below this a large
three-leafed plant. See Fig. 620.

2412. (42378). Plain.

2413. (42383). Small, with lines of outline crescents around the body.

2414. (42377). See Fig. 622.

_PITCHERS._

White decorated ware with handles:

2415. (41311). Regular form, of medium size, with a broad zigzag band
around the neck and another around the body. The latter has in each
large fold something like an arrow-head with point broken off.

2416. (41312). Olla-shaped neck with snort oblique bands; body with
large and small triangles.

_EATING BOWLS._

The following specimens are small:

2417. (42461). Shaped exactly like the small soup bowl in use at the
present day among the whites; with foot encircled by a vine with
well-formed leaves. A pretty piece.

2418. (42462). Regular form, with an outline zigzag band.

2419. (42463) and (42464). Very small, conical in shape, the former
marked with slender lines running around it, the latter with dots.

COLLECTION FROM COCHITI.

ARTICLES OF CLAY.

_WATER VESSELS._

Size: height 6 to 9 inches, diameter 6 to 15 inches.

These are of the same form as those of Zuni, but the curves and outlines are much more graceful, and there is a delicacy in the finish which places them above the Zuni pottery and indicates a greater freedom and confidence in the ceramic artist. The rim is often slightly flared, the neck more distinct and regularly formed.

The only figure given of this interesting group is not one of the regularly formed specimens. They are all white ware with decorations in black.

2420. (39501). Scalloped band around the neck; body divided into three
compartments by upright double lines with rosette in one and twigs in
the others.

2421. (39502), Pueblo or terraced figures around the body bordered by an
undulate line below. This is of special interest.

2422. (39503). Decorated with sunflower, the stem and leaves on the
body; straight and undulate lines around the neck.

2423. (39504). Decorated with straight and undulate bands.

pointing downwards, leaves and insects on the body.

2426. (39509). Depressed; with rosettes and geometrical figures on the

scalloped band around the neck, and scalloped arches on the body.
Shown in Fig. 623.

Globular vessels with handles, used for holding water. These are of two forms: those which are almost or quite spherical, with wide month at the top; and those which resemble tea-pots, and open through a spout in the form of the head of a bird or other animal. These are sometimes globular, with opening at the top. Size shown in the illustrations.

2430. (39557). Undulate band around the margin; figures of fish on the
body.

2431. (39558). Undulate line round the margin; figures of deer, bird,

outline triangular and lunar figures on the body.

2434. (39561). Head of an animal projecting from one side.

Canteen-shaped vessels, with openings through a spout in the form of the head of some animal. In some instances, where these are in the form of a bird with the head for a spout, at the opposite end or side is the representation of a tail, but often the latter is wanting. Handle single, and usually on the top, unless otherwise specially mentioned.

2435-2436. 2435, (39563), and 2436, (39567). These are bird-shaped, with
simple meander bands round the neck, and procession or herd of sheep
or goats on the body. Head and tail shown. The former is seen in Fig.
625.

cut, which was drawn for another purpose, the pestle is represented
with a small cup-shaped cavity on one side of it, in which the fluid
pigment from the mortar was poured and used with the brush of the
artist for decorative purposes. This is the only specimen of the kind
in the collection, and the only one found where the pestle combines
the cup with it.

ARTICLES OF CLAY.

COLLECTION FROM JEMEZ.

ARTICLES OF CLAY.

2734. (39926). Fig. 676. A very singular and pretty water vessel,
obtained at the Jemez pueblo. White ware decorated in black and brown.
It is probable that the peculiar form is given from mere fancy, and
not for the purpose of adapting it to any particular use, as it
appears to be simply a water vessel.

COLLECTION FROM THE JICARILLA APACHES.

ARTICLES OF CLAY.

This is a light brown micaceous ware, and the pieces are all small, or comparatively so. They consist of pots, pitchers, and cups.

This small collection, though not obtained directly from the Jicarilla Apaches, is attributed to them, for the reason that wherever found among other tribes it is by them accredited to the Apaches. It is manufactured, however, by some of the Pueblos along the Rio Grande, and occasionally by the more western Pueblos. The party did not visit the Apaches mentioned, and are not positively certain that they manufacture pottery. These facts are mentioned in this connection to show that there is some question as to the origin of this small collection.

Vase-shaped pots:

2735-2741. 2735, (39535); 2736, (39536); 2737, (39537); 2738, (39538);

2749, (39599); 2750, (39600); 2751, (39851).

COLLECTIONS FROM THE CANON DE CHELLY.

ARTICLES OF CLAY.

_WATER VESSELS._

2786-2789. 2786, (40813), Fig. 678; 2787, (40814), Fig. 677; 2788,
(40815), Fig. 679; 2789, (40816), Fig. 680. These pieces are white
ware, decorated with black. The colors in great part still remain,
showing that they are comparatively modern. The lines represent colors
and not indentations.

2790. (40796). Fig. 681. Upper part broken; supposed to have been a
pitcher, as part of the handle remains. From Cliff House ruins, Canon
de Chelly. Red ware. Comparatively modern.

The following articles are ancient ware, from the same place as the preceding:

2791. (40600). Small vase of white ware, probably comparatively modern.
The design, though simple, is somewhat peculiar and different from
what is usually found on pottery of the present day. See Fig. 683.

2792. (42202). Fig. 682. Similar in form, size, and color to the
preceding; the design, as will be seen by reference to the figure, is
a common one.

2793. (40812). Pitcher. White ware, with black decorations. See Fig.
690.

2794-2795. 2794, (40819), Fig. 691, and 2795, (40820), Fig. 688.
Pitchers, white; ware figured.

2796. (40824). Very small pitcher with handle; of uncolored ware.

2797. (42203). A very pretty pitcher of white ware, with decorations in
black, much faded, showing age, although so well and truly formed it
is evidently not modern. Fig. 692.

2798. (40601). A round-bottomed pitcher-shaped vessel, white ware with
black lines; the colors are much faded, showing age. Fig. 689. The
design is evidently of a previous age, and we will be justified,
perhaps, in saying that it belongs to the period of transition from
the rigid lines and angles to the curves.

2799. (40811). Fig. 687, Small pitcher, _e-musch-ton-ts[-a]n-n[-a]_,
originally of white ware; bowl uncolored.

(40821), Fig. 695; 2806, (40822), Fig. 694. These are the old
corrugated ware, but with the exception of the third they do not show
the action of fire, but were probably used for cooking vessels.

COLLECTIONS FROM PICTOGRAPH ROCKS.

ARTICLES OF CLAY.

2807. (39873). Fig. 697. A corrugated pot 11 inches high and 10 inches
in diameter at the widest point. Evidently coil-made; the different
coils slightly overlap each other tile-fashion. On the inside it is
smooth and does not show the coils. It has been blackened by the fire,
the original color having been a dark slate, the natural color of
the clay. It was evidently but slightly burned at first; very ancient.

the corrugated, ribbed, indented, and decorated ware, from the Zuni
Mesa.

Missouri, opposite St. Louis.

2835. (42368). Handle of pottery ladle from Wolpi.

_STATUETTES._

The following numbers are specimens of statuettes, of micaceous clay, representing human beings in various attitudes, both male and female. They are attributed to the Cochiti Pueblos, but as they were obtained in Santa Fe from traders, the correctness of their origin may be doubted. They were made, however, by some of the Rio Grande Pueblos not very remote from Santa Fe:

2837-2858. 2837, (42001); 2838, (42002); 2839, (42003); 2840, (42004);
