COLLECTIONS FROM LAGUNA.
ARTICLES OF CLAY.
_WATER VASES._
These are mostly of the usual form, though some should, probably on
account of their shape, be designated as jars. A few have the margin
undulate, and some are without any distinct neck.
They are generally well made and very symmetrical, of white ware, with
decorations in black, brown, or red colors.
2290. (41295). Small, with opposite handles or ears, resembling rats
peeping into the vessel; body decorated with broad oblique stripes and
figures resembling corn blades. Shown in Fig. 585.

band below neck, and oblique bars extending from rim downward. See
Fig. 610.
2295. (42381a). Fig. 587. The leaves in the decorations of this piece
are probably designed to represent corn blades. There is something
about the figures here used which leads one to believe they are, in
part, at least, symbolical.
2296. (42386). Fig. 588. Large. Large flower ornaments surrounding large
birds with crests and ruffled feathers, one in each space. The
large-billed bird may be intended for a raven; the other the
California quail.

wings on it; figures of two birds, with a few small flowers covering
the body. See Fig. 611.

vessel.
2309. (42399). Small, with crude images of animals on the margin; birds
alone on the body.
2310. (42400). Small; no neck, square mouth; image of a rabbit at each
corner on the rim; birds and checkered square on the body.
2311. (42401). Small and similar to preceding, except that there are
only corn leaves and a little square on the body.
2312. (41402). Similar in form to the preceding; image of an animal at
one corner only; zigzag line around the neck; double undulate line
around the body, with dots above and below.

ornamented with a scalloped band; immediately below this is a broad
band consisting of two plain, narrow stripes, between which is a row
of oblong figures arranged in a zigzag pattern; around the middle of
the vessel there is a sparsely serrate band, interrupted at intervals
by small circles, in each of which there is the form of a cross.
2325. (42409). Fig. 596. The ornamentation on this piece is rather
peculiar and worthy of attention, especially the bands around the
columns.
2326. (42411). Double pepper and salt box, square form, with two handles
side by side; birds mounted on the handles; figures of elk on the
sides and ends in procession.
2327. (42475). Moccasin; rude.

white population. All similar in form, with handles. White ware with
decorations; of medium size.
2328. (41298). Shown in Fig. 592.
2329. (42405). Diamond scroll in the upper zone; a band of triangles

birds it is occasionally at the tail, and in the quadruped forms
sometimes in the breast.
Birds.
These are frequently without feet, &c.; one or two double ones are on
pedestals.
2334-2347. 2334, (41301); 2335, (41302), Fig. 597; 2336, (41303), Fig.
598; 2337, (41304); 2338, (41305); 2339, (42414), Fig. 608; 2340,
(42415), Fig. 599; 2341, (42418), Fig. 609; 2342, (42419); 2343,
(42423); 2344, (42426); 2345, (42427); 2346, (42428); 2347, (42429),
are all similar to that represented in the Figures; some of them are
intended to represent other birds than ducks.
2348. (42417). Fig. 600. With two heads on a pedestal.
2349. (42420). Two heads, but not on a pedestal; a handle on the back in

shown in Fig. 598, but the decorations are scrolls and triangular
figures. The first has a flower or rosette on the breast.
2353. (42425). Two-headed; not on pedestal; lines, triangles, &c.
2354. (42435). With a crest and long tail; apparently a rooster.
Quadrupeds.
2355. (41306). Fig. 601. This represents a sheep. The orifice is in
front of the head.
2356-2357. 2356, (41307), Fig. 609, and 2357, (41309). These are
probably intended for sheep, but they are so rude that it is not
possible to determine with any certainty. Bark colored.
2358. (41308). A cow; although rude, the characteristics are well given,
even to the hoofs and udder; spotted on the back and breast. Coloring
on the sides intended to represent hair.

2360. (42431). Fig. 602. This and the preceding figure are evidently
intended to represent rabbits.
2361-2362. 2361, (42432), and 2362, (42433). Similar to the last;
apparently intended for a figure of the ass (_Burro_), though the
spots on the former are inappropriate. The latter is decorated on the
side with the figure of another quadruped.

(42441); 2370, (42442); 2371, (42443). Antelope and elk. The first is
evidently an antelope, and possibly the third and fifth. The rest are
certainly elk. Decorations simple.
2372. (42444). Probably a dog or coyote, with scrolls and diamond
figures. See Fig. 604.
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.

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

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

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.

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.
2424. (39505). With figures of birds on the neck; and a tolerably well
executed true meander or Greek fret around the body. Evident imitation
of European pattern.
2425. (39506). Straight and undulate lines on the neck, triangle
pointing downwards, leaves and insects on the body.
2426. (39509). Depressed; with rosettes and geometrical figures on the
upper half of the body.
2427. (39634). Globular in form, without neck; scalloped marginal band;
figures of chickens on the body.
2428. (39731). Fig. 624. Small size.
2429. (39733). Small size, similar in form to the preceding, with
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,
and fruit.
2432. (39559). With figures of triangles and leaves on the body.
2433. (39560). With head of a bird projecting from one side; marked with
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.
2437. (39564). Form of a bird without tail; decorations simple.
2438. (39565). Shown in Fig. 626.
2439. (39568). Bird without tail; figure of an Indian with a gun in his
hand, leading a calf followed by a cow.
2440. (39569). Bird with rude tail; figures of fishes and bird and a
