382 THE LATIMER COLLECTION OF ANTIQUITIES. 



looking lor the evolution of higher from lower forms, this stone would 

 typify the lowest grade, or possibly the starting-point in the departure 

 from a conical implement. Length 7.9, width 3.4, and height 4.2 inches. 



1699.2. A light-bluish specimen. The head and feet are quite close to 

 the mamma, making the furrows narrow and shallow. The right side is 

 fuller than the left, and the bottom smooth. Length 8.2, width 4, 

 height 4.43 inches. 



10994. A dark, mottled, volcanic stone. The face has been very much 

 battered by time. There is an elevated band across the forehead, mak- 

 ing the furrows narrow and deep. The right side is fuller than the left, 

 and the bottom elevated and hollowed out. Length 7.95, width 3.5, 

 height 4 inches. 



1GG95. A light-blue volcanic stone. The furrows are almost wanting, 

 and, as in a specimen previously mentioned, the feet are reversed. The 

 bottom is very roughly hollowed out. Length 5.6, width 2.4, height 

 3.6 inches. 



16996. This specimen is made of yellowish white marble. The fur- 

 rows are broad and shallow. The right side is fuller than the left, and 

 the bottom hollow. The plane of the bottom is also twisted or warped, 

 due probably to the origiual form of the stone. Length 10 8, width 

 4.6, height 4.55 inches. 



1699S. A dark volcanic specimen. The head-band abuts on the mam- 

 ma, leaving a very slight furrow in front, but the posterior furrow is 

 deeper. Ou the sides of the mamma are cup cuttings. The bottom is 

 elevated and hollow. Length, 6.15, width 3.2, height 2.7 iuches. 



17000. Of mottled marble. The head resembles that of a hog or pec- 

 cary, but is grotesque. The feet are human ; the furrows are broad and 

 deep ; the left side is fuller than the right, and the bottom is deeply 

 hollowed. Length 12.55, width 5.5. and height 5.3 inches. (Fig. 40.) 



17001. A smooth specimen, made of volcanic material. The furrows 

 are broad and deep, the right side swelled out, and the bottom elevated 

 and hollow. Length S 55, width 4.15, height 4.4 inches. 



17002. A rough specimen, made of marble. The furrows are narrow 

 and shallow, the left side full, the bottom elevated and slightly hollowed. 

 This specimen is much weather worn. Length 8.5, width 4, height 4.6 

 inches. 



17003. A fine specimen, made of white marble. The face is well exe- 

 cuted, the head-band being wide and ornamented with cup-cuttings and 

 frets. The feet are broken off. Instead of a cymbiform cavity in the 

 bottom, there is a deep cup-cutting, around the border of which is a 

 perfectly circular furrow. This object has been battered by secondary 

 use as a pestle. The dimensions are estimated. Length 12.8,width 4.4, 

 height 3.75 inches. 



17004. Of a rough volcanic material. The head resembles that of a 

 hog or peccary. The furrows are deep. There are two deep cup cuttings 

 at the feet. The left side is full and the bottom elevated. Length 9.65, 

 width 4.4, height 3.5 iuches.
