fuller than the right. The mamma is slightly winged, or angular, on the sides, 

 front, and rear. The bottom is nearly flat, and very rough. Length 8, width 3.55, 

 height 3.8 inches. 



Specimen c of this plate has a flattened face as seen in profile, and a 

 low conical projection. Profes.'ior Mason gives the following descrip- 

 tion, with figure, of this specimen: 



A dark-colored specimen, of volcanic material. The head is grotesque and high- 

 ridged, making the front furrow deep. Across the thighs is a chevroned band. The 

 right side is fuller than the left. The bottom is warped up and hollowed out. There 

 are four shallow cylindrical depressions on the mamma on a level with the furrows, 

 one on either side of the anterior and posterior portions. Length 11.65, width 4.6, 

 height 4.05 inches. 



Plate XL represents the side and top views of a three-pointed stone 

 with a human face in which the chin is protuberant. The frontal band 

 is ornamented with incised lines, and there is a median pit surrounded 

 by a ring. The specimen is made of white stone. 



Professor Mason thus describes a similar object: 



A dark, mottled, volcanic stone. The face has been very much battered by time. 

 There is an elevated band across the forehead, making the furrows narrow and deep. 

 The right side is fuller than the left, and the bottom elevated and hollowed out. 

 Length 7.95, width 3.5, height 4 inches. 



In plate XLI, a and a' represent a broken three-pointed stone with 

 face, shown in profile view, resembling that of a monkey. The well- 

 marked frontal ridge which ends at either end is obscurely indicated, 

 the ears having the form of knobs. 



Specimen 7>, h' in this plate has a reptilian head with backward extend- 

 ing mouth, semicircular eyes, and lateralh' placed protuberances with 

 nostrils, but no frontal band or ridge. This .specimen has shallow 

 pits in its surface, one on each side of the Ijase of the conical projection. 

 The posterior point has the appearance of another head, with deep 

 depressions for eyes, which are probablj^ only highly conventionalized 

 leg and thigh depressions. The height of this specimen as compared 

 with its length is less than in any other that has been .studied. 



In the same plate (xli, c and c') there is shown a fine specimen of a 

 three-pointed stone of reptilian appearance, one of three found together 

 in a cane field near Salinas, Porto Rico, and presented to the Smithson- 

 ian Institution by Mr ZoUer. In it the main features of the reptilian 

 group are well marked. The head is long, with semicircular eyes, 

 prominent nostrils, and mouth extending backward. There is no 

 frontal ridge and the posterior point has two eye-like depressions 

 obscurel}' representing the legs. The surface is finely polished and 

 the rock of which it is made is very hard. 



The three-pointed stones in plate xlii (^/, I) have lizard-shaped heads 

 and are good examples of the second group of the first type, specimen a 

 being one of the best of these stones in the collection. Its head has a
