FEWKEsJ CULTURE AREAS IN THE WEST INDIES 217 



There is one additional specimen of the same type in the collection 

 here considered [pi. 108, Z?], and Seilor Grullon has sent the author 

 a photograph of still another [pi. 109, .1, B], now in the Santiago 

 Museum. These seven known specimens fall logically into two 

 groups — three having limbs carved in relief on the sides, and four 

 without any sign of appendage. One of the three-pointed stones 

 here described belongs to the latter, the other to the former group. 



" The s]>ecimen of the second type, sent by Miss Gould, came from 

 Aguas Buenas, Porto Rico, and according to its label was found in a 

 cave.'" It is instructive in several particulars, not the least being its 

 geographical locality, indicating that the type is Porto Rican as 

 well as Dominican. This s^jecimen has legs cut in low relief on the 

 sides of the conoid projection. These appendages rise from the back 

 and extend to the anterior projection, where tliey terminate in feet 

 which are brought together below the mouth. Round depressions, 

 or pits, are found near the position of the joints, and just below the 

 apex of the conoid projection is a small lateral depression. Grooves 

 worn in the base of the conoid projection seem. to indicate tliat the 

 object was lashed to some foreign body. The face of this idol is 

 without nose, while Ups and ears, which ordinarily are pi-ominent in 

 the type, are inconspicuous. The tip of the jJosterior projection is 

 considerably battered, but stria3 in the stone at tliis point would 

 ajDpear to have been intended for feet. The specimen measures 6 

 inches in length by 4 inches in height. 



" The author's attention has been called by Senor Grullon to an- 

 other fine and instructive specimen of this type from Santo Do- 

 mingo [pi. 109]. It resembles that figured in plate xlv, figures 

 6, y, of the author's memoir on the Aborigines of Porto Rico, but 

 unlike that specimen has incised scrolls around a circle on the back 

 like the object represented in plate xlvii of the same paper. 



" Unlike the one last mentioned, this zemi has no indication of 



legs or other appendage on the side of the conoid projections; but 



the ears are elaborately cut in relief, the mouth is large, the lips are 



rather narrow, the eyebrows flattened, and the nose is prominent. 



The ferrule back of the head, which possibly indicates a neckband, is 



pronounced. 



" Fourth Type of Theee-Pointed Zemis 



• 

 " The fourth type of three-pointed zemis includes all those which 



are destitute of head on either the anterior projection or the conoid 



prominence, and have no indication of a face on any part of the 



object. The specimens of this type vary considerably in general 



"> Miss Gould has kindly furnished a photograph of the exact point in the cave where 

 she was informed this specimen was found.
