points toward the skull. The putting of an extra pair of ear-plugs with a burial 
by the aborigines is not new in our experience. Between the arms was a celt of 
quartzite, 3.3 inches in length, and a smaller one of fine-grained igneous rock 
rested between the elbows and pelvis. Nine arrowheads of flint, whose position 
was disturbed on removal, had been on the right knee. 
Burial No. 27, partly flexed to the left, the head SE., the right forearm 
across the trunk; depth, 17 inches. On the lower part of the thorax was a 
marine univalve, dropping to fragments through decay. At the outer side of 
the left shoulder were two bone implements. Each of these had the end formerly 
in use greatly rounded either intentionally or through service. One, 8.5 inches 
in length, made from a femur of a deer, has the articular portion removed; and

below, on one side, is a hole as for suspension. The other, about 8 inches long 
on which the articular part remains, is worked down from “the left ulna of a 
very large panther" (Felis concolor). We are indebted to Dr. F. A. Lucas for 
the identifications. 
At the right elbow was a small, undecorated vessel of earthenware—a pot 
or possibly a wide-mouthed water-bottle. At the feet were fragments of rattles 
which had been perforated for suspension. In place within the tortoise or 
turtle shells had been, instead of pebbles, the rounded throat-teeth of the fresh- 
water drum-fish (A plodinotus grunniens). 
Burial No. 30, partly flexed on the right, head NW.; depth, 32 inches. At 
the neck were a few shell beads, and in the soil nearby, perhaps an adventitious 
deposit, was a dise made from part of a pottery vessel. 
Burial No. 33, the remains of a badly decayed skeleton which had been partly 
flexed to the right, the head SE.; depth, 28 inches. Near the skull was a pipe 
of indurated clay, with a rim extending laterally, as shown in Fig. 88, after 
restoration. At the left shoulder were two chisels of shaly, sedimentary rock,
