instance there was a group of five vessels, mostly small, with no human remains 
visibly in association. Presumably the skeleton of an infant had disappeared 
through decay. 
Vessel No. 82 is another of the “ teapots,” 5.8 inches in height, with a coating 
of red pigment, somewhat worn in places. Іп relief оп two opposite sides аге mod- 
eled the legs of a frog. The head, which has been on that part of the vessel oppo- 
site the spout, is missing through breakage in aboriginal times. We shall figure in 
its proper place a more complete frog-* teapot ” from another site. (See Plate XVI.) 
Fie. 7.— Vessel No. 91. Near Menard Mound. (Diameter of bowl 7.5 inches.) 
Vessel No. 91, of dark ware, is a life-form representing a quadruped, the legs 
being used as supports for the vessel. On one side is a small head which does not 
aid us in determining the animal represented, while on the opposite side is a tail 
turned downward. Тһе decoration, made with a broad, trailing point, is of the 
scroll variety (Fig. 7). 
Vessel No. 50 is a graceful bottle of yellow ware, with a neck first contracting, 
then flaring. Тһе decoration consists of a coating of red pigment on the neck and, 
on the body, partly interlocked serolls in red and white, as shown in Plate XIV.
