The most interesting point in connection with this site is that it 

 demonstrates that habitation sites apparently existed occasionally 

 on the tops of steep ridges. 



COCOS ISLAND 



We visited Cocos Island, one of the larger islands in the bay, 

 where we heard the familiar story that the natives knew of no ancient 

 habitation sites. One man, however, had found an interesting basalt 

 figure of Costa Rican type, which we photographed (pi. 41, a-b). 



The figure represents a standing woman, holding her breasts in 

 her hands, with a human head hanging on her back. The finder 

 of the figure led us to the spot where the find had been made, but 

 we saw no evidence of a habitation there.
