_PITCHERS._
These are of the usual form, of such vessels, except that they are
generally without the lip. It is possible that to a certain extent they
have been patterned after those observed in use among the Europeans or
white races with whom these Indians have come in contact. But we shall
presently find specimens similar in form among the ancient pottery found
in the ruins of the cliff houses. We are inclined to believe that the
form is original and not borrowed. The figures introduced will suffice
to illustrate the form and usual decorations. The specimens obtained are
generally small, varying in capacity from a pint to half a gallon. These
are known in Zuñi by the name _Ē´-mūsch-tōn-ne_.
290. (39918). Shown in Fig. 403.
291. (40668). With scalloped margin and decorations similar to those on
Fig. 403.
292. (40669). Without handle and should be classed with the cups.
Figures of plants.
293. (40671). Triangles on the upper portion; simple meander on the
bowl.
294. (40672). Similar to the following.
295. (40673). With scalloped margin and zigzag lines on white ground;
small right-angle handle.
296. (40674). With scalloped marginal and middle bands. The following
are brown ware with but slight decorations:
297-310. 297, (40838); 298, (40839); 299, (40841); 300, (40843), outline
figures similar to those on No. 293; 301, (40844); 302, (40887); 303,
(40888); 304, (40889); 305, (40890), is really black but not polished;
306, (40891); 307, (40893); 308, (40894); 309, (40897); 310, (40898).

(40839).
312. (40845). Small, white, with decorations and of unusual form, in
fact in the original field list is classed among the canteens. The
mouth is prolonged obliquely in the form of a large tube. It should
perhaps be classed with the water jugs.

314. (40895). Scalloped margin; decorated with scrolls.
315. (40896). Scalloped margin. Figures of the little water animal so
