FEWKES] AECHEOLOGICAL OBJECTS 115 



The three-pointed stones figured in plate xxxvii belong to those 

 specimens of the tirst type that have human faces. Specimen a has two 

 pits on each side of the conical projection and a broad, slightly raised 

 frontal ridge. In neither specimen a nor specimen h is there a groove 

 between the head and the conoid projection, as is true of most speci- 

 mens of the first type already considered. The nose of the stone fig- 

 ured as a is flattened, of that figured as h more pointed. The feet and 

 legs of both specimens are obscurely indicated. Their surface is fairly 

 smooth. 



On the same plate are shown also three views (c, (;', e") of an instruct- 

 ive specimen, the laosterior point of which has been broken and the 

 object thus adapted for a pestle; the broken end exhibits evidences 

 of wear, which are likewise visible on the portion of the stone anterior 

 to the conical projection, as is apparent in a view of the base {r"). 

 The head of this three-pointed stone (t) is well carved; the nose is not 

 projecting, nor the forehead retreating. The frontal ridge is broad 

 and flat and decorated with incised lines, the ear pendants being indi- 

 cated by circular depressions. The most remarliable feature of this 

 object is the circular depression in the middle of the base surrounded 

 by an incised ring (c"). Other three-pointed stones have like basal 

 depressions, but the surrounding ring occurs only in this one specimen. 



Professor Mason describes the o))ject figured as a on plate xxxvii, 

 as follows: 



A dark volcanic specimen. Tlie headband alnits on tlie niannna, leaving a very 

 slight furrow in front, but the posterior furrow i^' deeper. On the sides of the 

 mamma are cup cuttings. The bottom is elevated and hollow. Length 6.15, width 

 3.2, height 2.7 inches. 



Professor Mason's description of h on the same plate is as follows: 



A light-blue volcanic stone. The furrows are almost wanting, and, as in a speci- 

 men previously mentioned, the feet are reversed. The bottom is very roughly hol- 

 lowed out. Length .5.6, width 2.4, height 3.6 inches. 



Specimen c on this plate is thus described by Professor Mason : 



A fine specimen, made of white marble. The face is well executed, the headband 

 being wide and ornamented with cup cuttings and frets. The feet are brolien off. 

 Instead of a cymbiform cavity in the bottom, there is a deep cup cutting, around the 

 VKirder of which is a perfectly circular furrow. This object has been battered by 

 secondary use as a pestle. The dimensions are estimated. Length 12.8, width 4.4, 

 height 3.7.5 inches. 



Plate XXXVIII, a, a', and i, h' , represents two fragments of finely 

 cut three-pointed stones, which once may have been parts of a single 

 object; «and h show a front and a .side view of the head; h' represents 

 the side view of the pcsterior point, or legs, while a! shows the same 

 from the rear. The frontal ridge is decorated with curved and straight 

 lines, triangles, and pits, and there is a well-marked circular depres-
