horn of a young animal; the other has been split from a large horn 
steamed and straightened out. 
Wrenches (?).—In the possession of Mr. John Wetherill, at Kay- 
enta, there is a piece of mountain-sheep horn pierced by a series of 
four round holes about three-eighths inch in diameter; their edges 
are smoothed and beveled as if by much use. In our collection are 
fragments of two similar objects (A—1270, Ruin 8; A-1643, Ruin 9). 
From Sunflower Cave there was collected the unbroken specimen 
illustrated (pl. 46 A,e). Its length is 93 inches, and the workmanship 
is of a very high order. A guess at the purpose of:these specimens is 
that they served as wrenches to straighten and true up thin, round 
sticks. Dr. Sterns informs us that tools of similar nature, made 
from sections of the ribs of large animals, are found in the earth- 
lodge sites of Nebraska. They may also be compared with the so- 
called “batons de commandement ” of the French caves.* 
OpssECTS OF SHELL 
Our finds of shell were limited to an abalone bead (A—1649) and a 
broken bracelet (88347), both from Ruin 9; and a similar bit of 
bracelet (A-1397) from Ruin 5. The latter two specimens are of 
the same type as the bracelets which have been taken in such great 
quantities from the ruins of the Lower Gila.? Examples are also 
to be seen in the American Museum collection from Pueblo Bonito. 
The type is recorded by Fewkes from the Little Colorado* and by 
Hough from the Upper Gila.t| We have not heard of its occurrence 
in the Rio Grande. 
Olivella shell beads were taken from several skeletons in the 
Marsh Pass cemeteries; the only working which these have under- 
gone is the removal by rubbing of the tips of the spires to permit 
stringing. 
PotTrery 
In the discussion of all the other phases of the material culture we 
have grouped the objects from all the sites together, because we 
could not make out any differences of classificational value between 
the specimens from one ruin and those from another. In the case 
of pottery, however, we are able to see that there are two styles, or 
perhaps more properly, two substyles of a single main type. As our 
data are limited, we will, however, describe all the wares together, 
pointing out in the conclusion the differences which seem to us to 
justify our belief that two styles are represented in the collection.
