jection. These lines are also represented in the second Berlin speci- 

 men (pi. 110, A), in which the base has a central groove with a well- 

 marked rounded edge on each side. The object shown in plate 111, f\ 

 represents the passage from this type of three- 

 I^ointed stone to the first type. 



Other specimens of the three-pointed stones of 

 the fourth type were collected by Mr. de Booy 

 in Santo Domingo. They do not differ essen- 

 tially from those already figured ; certain of them 

 have rough surfaces and show indications of hav- 

 ing been used for purposes different from that for 

 which they were originally made. 



The fourth type of three-pointed stones is a 

 large and comprehensive one containing several 

 different forms, as may be seen by an examination of the objects fig- 

 ured in my Aborigines of Porto Rico. It will probably be necessary 

 later to divide this type into several subgroups, and it is possible that 

 specimens now referred to the type have different uses. 



Figure 51 presents features of a three-pointed stone of the fourth 

 type so far as general form is concerned, but with a face cut 

 on the anterior end, consisting of a circle with dots for eyes. There 



is a similar face with like 

 representations of eyes and 

 mouth on the posterior end 

 in plate 111, C. This fea- 

 ture calls to mind one of 

 the three-pointed stones of 

 the first group, already de- 

 scribed (fig. 50). 



The specimen shown in 

 figure 52 belongs to the 

 fourth type, but has cer- 

 tain peculiarities different 

 from it, one of which is 

 four parallel incised lines 

 near the point of the cone, 

 the meaning of which is 

 not known. 



The third type of three-pointed stones, one of which is shown from 

 front and side in jilate HI, Z>, grades into stone heads. A well-made 

 specimen (pi. Ill, E) in the Heye collection presents all the essen- 

 tial features of the same group as described and figured in the author's 

 article on the Aborigines of Porto'^lico. A similar specimen belong- 

 ing to the same group is also figured by Dr. Haeberlin."
