U.S.N.M. No. 349382, also figured in Plate 10, appears on upper portion of 

 plate in end view and in profile. The applied figurine is that of a frog.

 tional Museum. The vessel at the left surmounted with the modeled figurine 

 of a frog may be seen in profile in Plate 7. It is from the provincial collection 

 formerly housed at Santiago.

 beart-shaped bottle at lower right was excavated by Doctor Alberti at Boca

Plate 12 



Neck fragments of earthenware water bottles 



The fragment figured at left illustrates conventional neck design of water 

 bottles from the northern provinces of the Dominican Republic. The modeled, 

 efiigy figurine, at center, from the neck of a water bottle, is realistic, although 

 in structural details it resembles figurines modeled generally on necks of water 

 bottles from Santo Domingan aboriginal village sites. The example figured at 

 right is differentiated by four punctations about the ear, and by upturned nose. 

 It is a remarkable example of unsymmetrical design. From Constanza, Province 

 of La Vega.
