910 PAPERS RELATING TO ANTHROPOLOGY. 



so, and that my calls were plainly heard, but not answered for the rea- 

 son given. 



The Indians are good-natured and indolent, as a rule, and rarely 

 quarrelsome or dangerous, except when under the influence of liquor. 



I found it much easier to lead than to drive them. Their good-will is 

 readily gained, and more can be accomplished through that than through 

 either fear or money. 



The antiquities secured by me may be divided into two general 

 classes: (1) Sculptures in stone; (2) Vessels of clay and their contents, 

 including all objects found in the burial places. 



Among the stone sculptures I saw a number of human figures about 

 life size, besides smaller articles comprising images of men and animals, 

 and also utensils such as grinding stones and vessels for various pur- 

 poses. I saw and examined seven human figures carved in stone and 

 of nearly life size. 



No. 1. A large human figure, sitting, about 5 feet high. The head, 

 upper arm, and knee are wanting. Found lying, half embedded in the 

 gravel on the lake shore, about 3 miles north of Moyogalpa. This is 

 probably the figure referred to by Dr. Bransford as "an image without 

 a head lying in the edge of the lake." 



No. 2. Companion to the last, about the same length, but of slighter 

 build, from which I judge that it was intended for a female. This fig- 

 ure also differs from No. 1 in having the arms bent at the elbows with 

 the hands resting on the knees, while in No. 1 the hands hung down 

 straight at the sides. Both Nos. 1 aud 2 are headless, and the latter 

 is probably the one referred to by Dr. Bransford as follows: "Another 

 was said to be uncovered at low water during the dry season." At the 

 time of my visit the figure was lying in the water, by which it was 

 nearly covered. 



Nos. 3 and 4 are Dr. Brausford's Nos. 1 and 2. They have been taken 

 from their original position in the forest and set up as gate posts at 

 the Catholic church at Los Angeles. They are now the property of 

 Dr. Earl Flint, of Eivas, who bought them from the church and intends 

 shipping them to this country. 



No. 5 is a very much worn figure of " a man in a standing position." 

 The basalt rock is worn almost smooth, but it bears evidence of work- 

 manship. I must confess that I could not make out the figure of the 

 man, and give it as such on the authority of the native who guided me 

 to it. 



No. 6 was a seated female figure fouud in the dense forest south of 

 Los Angeles. This figure also was headless, and I failed to find the 

 missing part. 



No. 7 was the companion to the last, and in better condition than any 

 of the others I examined. The head was off, but I found it lying near, 

 and found that it fitted well, having been broken off at a comparatively 

 recent date. This figure I determined to secure for the National Mu-
