(fig. 26, c), one is a jaguar (fig. 26, d),^ two are grotesque humanoid 

 faces (fig. 26, a, b), and three are too conventional for determination 

 (fig. 27, d). 



The third type of kig is simply the "applique rider " (fig. 22, b) 

 previously mentioned when the Polychrome I ware was discussed. Of 

 the II lugs of this type, 2 have traces of sHp and design and i is 

 incised (pi. 23, a), incising being characteristic of the monochrome 

 ware. The remainder may have belonged to either pottery type, de- 

 pending on whether their present unpainted condition is original or 

 due to erosion. Since certain of these applique rider lugs clearly 

 belong to one or other of the two types of pottery, while the others 

 are uncertain, it can be seen that here is another strong link between 

 the two ceramic wares. It has already been suggested that the unique. 

 Polychrome I lug, type (a), developed from this applique rider type 

 (b), and it is undoubtedly significant in this regard that type (a) is 

 limited to Polychrome I ware, whereas type (b) not only occurs in 

 both wares but, to judge from the preseut collection, is most charac- 

 teristic of the monochrome ware. 



It is often impossible to distinguish feet from lugs in the latter 

 ware (fig. 27, h, i). Certain fragments described as lugs may actually 

 have been feet, and vice versa. Where rims or definite basal portions 

 are present, or where wear indicates usage, the distinction is clear, 

 but these criteria are often lacking. However, since the native artisans 

 seem to have regarded both feet and lugs more as adornments than as 

 utilitarian features, and as similar motifs occur on both, a strict dis- 

 tinction is not vital. The annular foot is particularly characteristic of 

 the finer, incised vessels of the monochrome (red to buiT) ware and 

 of the models of this type of vessel (pi. 24, b; pi. 8, fig. i). There 

 are no indications that it occurs often on Polychrome I vessels. Other 

 characteristic types of feet are shown in the illustrations (fig. 27, b, 

 g, h, i; fig. 25, d; fig. 28). The very large foot with elaborate incising 

 (fig. 28, a) is apparently from a large and ornate vessel. Two of 

 these feet from different vessels were saved, and a number of others 

 were left at this site (pi. 20, fig. 2) . The excellent modeling of negroid- 

 like human features on another cylindrical foot is striking (fig. 28, c). 

 A shorter, cylindrical foot with characteristic punctate decoration is 

 also noteworthy (fig. 28, d). All three of these latter types are very 

 common on the adjacent mainland. The simpler feet are either mere 

 knobs (fig. 28, (?) or hollow ovoid projections with slits and applique 



^This is remarkably similar to those on the Uloa River marble jar figured 

 by Gordon, 1898a, pi. i, fig. 12.
