(1) This dull white canon bead is 5 mm. in diameter and 14 mm. in length ; 

 it has a dull porcelain appearance (No. 320) (pi. 64, o). 



(2) These pearl-white beads are 3 mm, in diameter and 4 mm. in length. 

 They have a glossy pearllike lustre about them (No. 320) (pi. 64, q). 



(3) These green specimens appear to have been made from the same "stick" 

 of glass. They are from 3 to 4 mm. in diameter and 8 to 10 mm. in length 

 (No. 320) (pi. 64, p). 



Seed heads. — These are generally oblate spheroidal or subcylindrical 

 in form. Gradations in size are present, but these beads seem to be 

 grouped around three modes. Colors present were blue, white, black, 

 and green. 



Blue seed beads are by far the most common. These range in diam- 

 eter from 2 to 3 mm. Many are discolored, but a dull light blue pre- 

 dominates. Wlien dry, they are opaque, but when moistened, all of 

 them turn a pale blue green and become translucent. Approximately 

 880 of them were found in F-3, the log-cabin area of the post (No. 

 321) (pi. 65, h). About 5,000 of them were found with F-52, an in- 

 fant burial. 



"Wliite seed beads were the next most common. All of them have a 

 dull pearllike luster. These graded in size from 2 to 4 mm. in diame- 

 ter. Approximately 60 of the smallest size were present (No. 322) 

 (pi. 64, & ) . The middle-size beads, which were 3 mm. in diameter, num- 

 bered approximately 480 (No. 323) (pi. 65, &) . The largest size were 

 4 mm. in diameter; about 150 of them were present (No. 324) (pi. 

 65, h). 



Miscellaneous colors were represented by two black seed beads, one 

 dark-green, and one light-green specimens. All of these were 3 mm. 

 in diameter. They were found in F-3 (No. 325). 



Metal beads. — Two cast copper beads with attached wire hooks have 

 a hole through them at right angles to the wire hook. They are 6 mm. 

 in diameter. One was found in F-3 (No. 326) (pi. 64, u) . The other 

 was recovered by Fred La Rocque in F-66. Color frequencies are 

 shown in the following tabulation :
