rior decoration consists of tworowsof irregular triangles running hori- 
zontally around the bowl. One row of triangles is suspended from a 
continuous line near the top and the other row is superimposed upon 
a similar line around the bottom. The tips of the triangles join in 
an irregular fashion and make a design which is frequently seen on 
the modern pottery of Santo Domingo, New Mexico. (Fig. 5, A.) 
In the interior is a cross composed of a series of. crosses one within 
the other. The four arms extend from a square in the bottom, reach- 
ing to the rim of the bowl. As each series of lines reaches the high- 
est point, near the rim, they are joined by horizontal lines, thus mak- 
ing crosses within crosses. (Fig. 5, B.) This bowl has a decided 
pinkish yellow undertone and very little of the gray overtone. The 
black coloring matter of the decoration is 
inferior to that of most of the other pieces. 
All of the small pieces in this group are 
thick and clumsy, and while the paste is 
somewhat better, and the decoration more 
extensive than that of the first group, they 
are not to be compared with the finer pieces 
of the final group.

In this group are placed the finest of all

material is all very good for biscuit type, 
being in some cases quite hard. Most of

are drawn with a bold, free sweep that is 
remarkable and displays originality. Most of the large tubs show 
much wear and the polish has somewhat disappeared on some of them, 
but this does not detract from the workmanship and beauty of the 
pieces. 
Small bowls.—Plate 37, EF, is a small-mouthed jar that was proba- 
bly used ceremonially. It is 43 mm. in height by 98 mm. in diame- 
ter at the largest part. The form is a miniature reproduction of the 
larger water jar. There are three figures of centipedes running 
around the jar. Above and below these figures there are two un- 
broken lines encircling it. Below the lower lines and running per- 
pendicularly from them are three groups of three straight lines each. 
Plate 41, F, is a small bowl, well polished and slightly crazed. It 
is 8 mm. in height and 102 mm. in diameter. It has four lips at 
the cardinal points. The interior decoration is a cross, the four 
arms of which rise from the bottom and extend nearly to the rim of 
the bowl. In the center where the arms are joined the space has
