390 COLLECTIONS OF 1879 WOLPL 



1932. (42125). A flue, large, and quite perfect specimen of the jug or 

 water basket, with ears of borse-liair and string attached for use. 

 Quite a number of the ancient water-jars are of this form, and 

 both bear evidence of antiquity. 



1933. (42149). Fig. 538 is a good illustration of this form. 

 1934-1937. 1934, (42146); 1935, (42147); 1936,(42148); 1937,(42150), 



are of the same class of cemented basket- ware. The small fruit- 

 baskets, made of round willows and with mucli less care, are also 

 of many forms. Some are square, others round, and some with a 

 peculiar flattened body ; of the latter there are but few in the 

 collection. They belong to the older class of basketry. 

 The followiug specimens belong to that class : 

 1938-1941. 1938, (42126) ; 1939, (42127) ; 1940, (42128) ; 1941, (42129).

 low twigs around four upright posts or large sticks. It has a
