A very old weathered mask (No. 5»»497 [2;3.5] from ITtkiavwIn), 7-S 

 inches long, and made of soft wood, apparently pine, is similar to 

 the preceding, but has no tongue, and the teeth in both jaws are rep- 

 resented as a continuous ridge. It has an "imperial" as well as a 

 moustache, marked with blacklead like the eyebrows. Tlie cheeks 

 are colored with red ocher. The edge is much gapped and broken, 

 but shows the remains of a deep narrow groove running round on the 

 outside about ^ inch from the edge, and pierced with small holes for 

 fastening on a hood. 



Figure .'5(;7 (No. S!),S17 [S")!;] also from Utkiavwin) is a mask muih. 

 like the jireceding, 7-5 inclies long, and made of sjiruce. II is ])cculiar
