Mullets. Flattish stones employed by 

 the native tribes for crushing and pulver- 

 izing food substances on a metate (q. v. ) or 

 other flat surface; sometimes called mano, 

 theS|>anishfor 'hand.' They were in very 

 general use, especially among the agri- 

 cultural tribes, and in both form and use 

 grade imperceptibly into the pestle. They 

 may be merely natural bowlders of shape 

 suited to the purpose, or they may have 

 been modified by use into artificial form 

 or designedly shaped by pecking and 

 grinding according to the fancy of the 

 owner. In the Pueblo country mullers 

 are usually oblong slabs of lava or other 

 suitable stone, flat on the undersurface 

 and slightly convex in outline and supe- 

 rior surface, and of a size to be conven- 

 iently held in the hand. In some sections, 

 as in the Pacific states and in the Missis- 

 sippi valley, they are frequently flattish 

 or cheese-shaped cylinders or disks, 

 smooth on the underside and somewhat 

 roughened above. They are sometimes 

 pitted on one or both surfaces, indicating 

 a secondary use, perhaps for cracking nuts. 

 Others show battering, as if subjected to 

 rough usage as hammers. The term 

 nuiller is properly applied only to grind- 

 ers having a flat undersurface and shaped 

 to be held under the hand; the pestle 

 has a flat or rounded undersurface and 

 is shaped to be held in the hand in an 

 upright position. See Metates, Mortars, 

 Pestles, and consult the authorities there-
