72 SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION 



Pleurodonte acuta and Plcurodonte jamaicensis, and broken pottery 

 were deposited in both, though in small quantities as compared with 

 the marine shells in the middens on Long Mountain and at Montego 

 Bay. A noteworthy feature of both deposits was the presence of 

 bones of the domestic pig, an animal of which I found no trace at 

 the other sites. Possibly this occurrence of pig remains indicates that 

 the natives were able to hold their own longer in the excessively rough 

 Cockpit country than was possible for them along the coast, where 

 their extermination by the Spaniards must have been easy and rapid. 



As the Cockpit country is of great botanical interest I spent much 

 time, while at Windsor, in collecting plants. I also visited the cave at 

 Pantrepant, the estate adjoining Windsor on the west, and there 

 successfully photographed the curiously carved stalactite, a rough 

 diagram of which was published by Duerden (p. 49). 



Here, as at all the other localities that he described and I visited, I 

 found that Duerden has given a very full and accurate account of 

 the existing conditions. Except for obtaining more complete details 

 about the mammalian remains and discovering some rude shell utensils 

 that he apparently failed to recognize as artifacts I found little that 

 the earlier investigator had not seen or that was not fully represented 

 in the Museum at Kingston. Characteristic specimens of these shell 

 utensils have been given by the United States National Museum to 

 the Institute of Jamaica.
