conoid process to the margins of the base. x\. corresponding ridge 

 likewise extends lengthwise of the three-pointed stone from the apex 

 of the conoid to the base. 



The three-pointed stone represented in plate 106, A, has a wide 

 open mouth unlike any other specimen of this type, but recalls in 

 other respects the first group of the first type. 



Plate 106, B, from the Heye collection, represents a zemi of the first 

 group of the first type, and plate 106, C, from the same collection be- 

 longs to the same type. This specimen is also distinguished by two 

 elevations in the frontal fillet, and the characteristic shape of the 

 ear, by which it can -be separated from the majority of three-pointed 

 stones with human heads and those where the mouth is distinctly 

 anthropoid. This specimen, unlike other representations of the 

 group to which it belongs, has toes at the ends of the legs. The ajDex 

 of the conoid projection is broken, but shows evidence that formerly 

 it inclined slightly forward. 



There is a good example of the second group of the first type in 

 tlie Heye collection. The head of this specimen (pi. 106, D) re- 

 sembles that of a lizard. 



There is a three-pointed stone in the Berlin Museum fiir Volker- 

 kunde that has features of the head like a reptile, but differs from 

 this animal in certain well-marked characteristics. Along the median 

 line of the head of this specimen (pi. 107, A ) there is an elevated ridge 

 on the side of which are parallel markings recalling heads of rep- 

 tiles. The nostrils, which are constant features of the three-pointed 

 stones of the first class representing reptiles, are indicated by two 

 pits situated slightly behind the tip of the snout. These are not, as 

 is usually the case, surrounded by a ridge or mounted on an elevation. 

 No ears, fillet, or nose were made out in the specimen. 



The Heye collection has a specimen of three-pointed stones (pi. 107, 

 B ) with characteristics of the first and second types and seems to be a 

 connecting form. This remarkable specimen is not only exceptional 

 in having a head carved on the anterior surface of the conical projec- 

 tion, but the conical projection is deeply incised, the position of the 

 ear being indicated by an incised triangle. The posterior extremity 

 is also quite exceptional and unlike three-pointed stones of the first 

 and second types. 



The three-pointed stone, plate 107, C, belongs to the Heye Museum 

 and has likenesses to a bird, but likewise resembles a turtle. Gen- 

 erally in other bird zemis wings are represented. 



The three-pointed stone shown in plate 108, A, was collected by 

 Mr. de Booy in Santo Domingo. It belongs to the first type and 

 shows relations, in the form of the head, to those placed in the rep- 

 tilian group. The object is made of a brown stone, said to be fossil 

 wood, which effervesces with acid.
