FEWKES] ARCHEOLOGICAL OBJECTS 121 



the legs, suo-gesting wear, as if the object once had been lashed to 

 some foreign body. An exceptional feature in this specimen is that 

 it has only one posterior appendage represented, as shown in <j" . 

 This leg is apparently so twisted that the thigh, indicated by the pit 

 on the side, is brought to the right side of the specimen, the toes and 

 leg being turned to the left. The surface is rough, the base flat, and 

 the apex of the conical projection slightly curved and apparently 

 broken. Professor Mason thus describes this zemi: 



A dark specimen of volcanic material. The head resembles that of an nwl or 

 parrot. The furrows are deep, the right side full, and the bottom flat. T^ensith A.\)h, 

 width 2.9, heiaht 2.95 inches. 



TTPE WITH FACE BETWEEN ANTEKIUR AND CONOID PK0.7ECTI0N.S 



There are only a few known specimens of this type, which dill'er 

 little from one another. In some of these objects there is a pro- 

 nounced ridge extending on each side from the apex of the cone to 

 the margin of the ba.se. The anterior tilting of the apex of the conoid 

 projection is pronounced in mo.st of the specimens. 



Five specimens of this type occur in the Smith.sonian Institution, of 

 which two were obtained from the Latimer collection and three were 

 collected by the author in 1903. The author likewise has one in his 

 possession (figure 21) which came from Santo Domingo and was 

 described in a previous article on zcmiii of that island." 



The essential feature of this type is the restriction of the face to 

 the interval between the conical projection and the anterior point, so 

 that the head is not clearly diflerentiated from the bod}' of the stone, 

 as in the first type. Two of the specimens have two pairs of legs, and 

 in the remaining three appendages are not represented. 



Plate XLV, rt, is a highly polished specimen of dark green stone, well 

 made, with conical projection and other points slender and tapering. 

 The base is rough and slightly curved, the eyes look forward, the ears 

 are oval- areas .slightly enlarged at the lower end, but without pits. 

 Nose and frontal ridge are absent. From a front view the specimen 

 appears to have an angular appearance, the conical projection narrow- 

 ing above the eyes to a point. Professor Mason gives the following 

 description of this object: 



A highly polished specimen, made of a dark green stone, similar to the material 

 of the most beautiful celts. The ends and top taper out finger-like. The human 

 face is carved on the front of the mamma. The bottom is elevated and roughened, 

 but not hollowed. This is a highly finished and unique specimen, departing quite 

 widely from the tyjiical form, and resembling no other in the collection. 



The three-pointed stone represented in plate XLV, Z> and }>\ and in 

 figure 21, also a fine example of the second type, was presented to the 

 author in 1877 by Mr Edward Hall, of Cambridge, Mass., by whom 



a American ATtthropolotfist, iv, 167, April, 1891.
