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.
