LOWER CHATTAHOOCHEE AND LOWER FLINT RIVERS. 435 
Vessel No. 10.—A graceful, mortuary vessel (Fig. 10) of the ceremonial class, 
with open-work decoration showing the feather-symbol, and having remnants of 
crimson paint on the outside. On one side of the opening the neck and head of a 
bird, from which the bill is missing, project upward. 
The four ceremonial vessels from this mound, all of which were found in frag- 
ments, have in each case a hole knocked in the base and not made there previous 
to the firing of the clay, as is often the case with ceremonial vessels of this class. 
Кіс. 9.—Vessel No. 9. Mound below Hare’s Landing. (Height 7 inches.) 
Vessel No. 15.—Oblate-spheroidal in shape, found in fragments since joined 
together, having a low, upright rim. The decoration consists of a coating of red 
paint, inside and out. 
Vessel No. 18.—This perforate vessel, shown in Fig. 11, of excellent yellow 
ware, has for decoration below the rim a band of punctate markings. 
Vessel Хо. 27.—An imperforate vessel (Fig. 12) of good ware, found in frag- 
ments but since repaired. A deep depression around a central boss on each of the 
two longer sides is the only decoration. There are two perforations on one side 
slightly below the rim.
