THE ABORIGINES OF PORTO RICO 



McCormick, curator of the Museum of Natural History at Glen 

 island, New Rochelle, N. Y. , has sent the Smithsonian Institution a 

 few kodak photographs, from which the following are copied. Thej^ 

 contain no new type, but come from new localities. 



Plate LXi, (7, represents the head and body of some totem, the former 

 with eyes, mouth, and prominent ears. This pictograph has an object 

 of some kind represented above the head. The square body bears a 

 cross, the itrms of whicli extend to the four corners. Specimen/'

is different from most pictographs in having the eves in relief in 

 sunken cavities. A number of parallel or radiating lines arise from 

 the chin and lower side of the head. Similar lines occur in other pic- 

 tographs and are found likewise on certain pillar stones. Specimen <- is 

 not a distinctive form of pictograph, but is worthy of note on account 

 of the singular form of the body and the median groove down the front. 

 Copies of pictographs from St Kitts are tigured on the accompany- 

 ing cut (figure 24:).
