GUESDE COLLECTION OF ANTIQUITIES IN WEST INDIES. 823 



Fig. 191. 



Fig. 192. A V shaped object of light brown color. It is possibly an 

 amulet worn suspended from the neck. This should be compared with 

 an ornament called by the Caribs, Caracoli, or Coulloucoli, and made 

 of a metal reseinbling gold, obtained from the Alloiiagues, of South 

 America. 



Width of limb, 4^ inches.

Fig. 193. The object sketched in this figure resembles some of the 

 plainest specimens of mammiform stones from Porto Eico, in the Lat- 

 imer collection. (Smithonian Eeport, 1876.) No head or legs are indi- 

 cated in the projections from the base. The lower face, not seen in the 

 drawing, is concave and there is a hole in the apex. On either face of 

 the mamma are distinct ridges. Mr. im Thurn figures one of these ob- 

 jects and calls attention to examples from San Domingo in Blackmore 

 Museum. His own specimen is described as having animal heads at 

 either end. This does not correspond with the one in the Latimer series, 

 in each of which there is a head at one end and feet at the other. Their 

 use as stools is very questionable, because that would bring the unsightly 

 portion upward and bury the ornamental portion out of sight. The 

 owner of the small island of Canouan, says Mr. Low, has a mammiform 

 resembling Fig. 42, Latimer collection, with carved lines like those on 

 Fig. 43. (See also Timehri, i, 268, 269.) 



Length, 11^ inches ; height, 7 inches.
