Burial No. 34, the bones of a child, 20 inches down, which had been some- 
what disturbed. At the neck were a number of shell beads, rudely discoidal 
as a rule, some small, but many nearly .75 inch in diameter. With the beads

Burial No. 39, a child. At the head were two shell ear-plugs, and two small

were on the neck, and on the thorax was a gorget of shell 5 by 6.5 inches, bearing 
an incised, well-known design of a conventional rattlesnake (Fig. 91).
