LOWER CHATTAHOOCHEE AND LOWER FLINT RIVERS. 431 
Vessel No. 3.— This beautiful vase of eccentric form, graceful outline, and 
excellent ware, bears a coating of red paint (Fig. 3). In addition, there is a well- 
executed incised decoration shown diagrammatically in Fig. 4. This vessel has а 
double base—the body proper having one, and the extension below it having 
another. Both have the 
usual mortuary perforation. 
Vessel No. 4.—An 
effigy vessel about 12 inches 
in height, showing the 
human form, found іп 
many fragments, but since 
joined together. Unfortu- 
nately the nose is missing. 
The figure is carelessly 
made and is distinctly in- 
ferior to similar vessels 
from the northwestern 
Florida coast. 
Vessel No. 6.—A ves- 
sel of yellow ware, with 
ovoid body (Fig. 5), bearing 
a rather carelessly made 
punctate and incised deco- 
ration shown in diagram, 
Fig. 6. 
Vessel No. 7.—This 
interesting vessel (Fig. 7), 
belonging to the ceremonial 
mortuary class, with exci- 
sions in the body (a variety 
first made known by us in 
our reports of the mounds 
of the northwestern Florida 
coast and of the Apalachi- 
cola river), was found in 
fragments which have since 
been cemented together, 
with slight restoration in- 
volving no important part. 
The base is missing. The 
Ғіс. 3.—Vessel No. 3. Mound below Hare’s Landing. (Height 7.5 inches. 
м 
ware, porous and generally inferior, as is usually the 
case with vessels made expressly for interment with the dead, is decorated with 
red paint. On one side is a handle or decoration consisting of the head of a long- 
billed water-bird.
