cotta ware. The vertical reinforcing bands occurring in parallel are appar- 

 ently deteriorated conventionalized life forms. 



No. 3 is a globose red-ware bowl, plain as to surface and like No. 2 of Plate 

 45, is characterized by a narrow oral orifice, U.S.N.M. No. 341020. Dimen- 

 sions : 4iTy inches in diameter ; 3% inches in depth. 



No. 4 is a proportionately lai-ger vessel and does not appear in its proper 

 relative size on this plate. It was found in Cueva del Templo on the south 

 shore of Samana Bay. The bottom of the bowl near the outer surfaces is 

 thickly incrusted with soot. 



Plate 48 



The vessel shown at the top was recovered from the Indian cemetery at Andres. 

 The margin, which is broken off, has not been restored, U.S.N.M. No. 349374. 

 Dimensions: 7% inches in diameter and 5 inches in depth. 



The vessel below belongs to the slipped chocolate-colored group and was 

 recovered while excavating at the K 2 site in the Province of Monte Cristi. 

 The encircling band of tear-shaped punctations distinguishes this vessel from 

 other punctated groups of the north coast. So far as is known, no punctated 

 ware appears on the south coast, but is limited in its distribution to the 

 mountainous interior and northern portions of the island. 



Plate 49 



The vessels shown are not proportionately true to scale, as those in the upper 

 row are much larger than those figured below. In fact, the vessel in the 

 upper right-hand corner is the largest vessel recovered by the Museum expe- 

 dition. It is 14^^ inches in diameter at the shoulder and o^/t inches in depth. 

 The usual encircling decorative panel appears above the shoulder and con- 

 sists of incised and relieved figures, and the conventionalized animal figurines 

 appear as a bilaterally placed pair of ornamental lugs. Arawak Cemetery, 

 Andres 



The vessel at the center of the top row is plain surfaced except for small 

 indented nodal handles. Dimensions: 8 inches in diameter at shoulder, 5 

 inches in depth. U.S.N.M. No. 349375. Cemetery at Andres, Province of Santo 

 Domhigo. 



The spherical vessel at upper left is oval and boat-shaped, plain surfaced, 

 and belongs to the terra-cotta unslipped group. Dimensions : 5^/^ inches in 

 diameter, Sy^ inches in depth. U.S.N.M. No. 349371. Andres, Province of 

 Santo Domingo. 



The vessel in the lower right-hand corner is plain, crudely finished, and 

 unsymmetrical. The few unsymmetrical bowls recovered at Andres offer 

 no criteria of value in a stratigraphical study as the finds are of a imiform 

 depth and apparently of like age. Dimensions : 4^4 inches in diameter, 2% 

 inches in depth. U.S.N.M. No. 349370. 



The shallow food bowl in lower left-hand corner is 4l^ inches in diameter and 

 2 inches in depth. It is heavy walled and plain surfaced. It belongs to the 

 black ware group. U.S.N.M. No. 349369. 



The globose vessel at the center of the lower row is introduced for purposes 

 of comparison. It was figured by Fewkes in the Twenty-fifth Ann. Rept. Bur. 

 Amer. Ethn., in Plate 77, and was recovered at Utuado, Porto Rico. It is 4 

 inches in diameter and 2% inches in depth. There is little to distinguish this 

 type of decorated bowl from the terra-cotta group of Santo Domingo. All 

 the vessels shown in this plate are from Andres, Province of Santo Domingo, 

 except the last mentioned, which is from Utuado, Porto Rico.
