top. near which is a small knob, is intended to rep- 
resent a gourd. Ап almost exactly similar vessel 
from Arkansas is figured by Professor Holmes.’ 
Vessel No. 208, a vase of gray, porous ware, 
light in weight, with base resembling a much trun- 
cated cone reversed (Fig. 19), has an interesting 
incised decoration around the body (Fig. 20), sug 
gestive of the bird-head motive. 
Vessel No. 200 is a vase of gray, porous ware, 
of somewhat unusual form, without decoration 
(Fig. 21). 
Vessel No. 55. We have here a bowl of yel- 
low ware (Fig. 22), with an interior coating of red 
paint and a band of red pigment below the margin 
on the outside, such as is usually found on vessels 
of this character along the lower Arkansas river. 
On one side is a rudely modeled human head with 
high crest, looking outward; on the other side, the 
conventional tail—both head and tail having а 
coating of red pigment. 
Vessel No. 114 (Fig. 23) differs from the one 
just described in minor details only. 
Vessel No. 174 is a bowl of coarse, yellow 
Етс. 14.— Vessel No. 31. Near Menard Mound. (Diameter 7.4 inches.)
