connection with which the adornos are found. These faces are much 

 larger and thinner than those of the regular Toltec heads. Figure 2, 

 a, 5, shows two of these faces. The latter has the eyes colored white, 

 the face red except at the sides and under the mouth, where it is 

 yellow. Figure 2, c, is probably another of this type of head. It has 

 red paint under the eyes. 



Whistles and flageolets. — From the Aztec levels of the site 27 

 mouthpieces of clay whistles were found. Several human heads 

 (fig. 2, d) occur which seem to have been parts of flageolets.
