and lower, near the pelvis, were respectively, two bones of a dog. 
Burial No. 273, infant, having at the neck some discoidal shell beads, others 
made of Anculosa prerosa, one bead of claystone .5 inch in diameter, five small 
fragments of marine shell, each with a perforation for suspension, a small fossil 
having a natural perforation, perhaps used as a bead, and two canine teeth of a 
bob-cat (Lynx rufus), each having a perforation in the proximal end. 
Burial No. 280, closely flexed on the right. Shell beads were at the neck. 
Fragments of a large marine univalve, which possibly had been a cup, were at 
the lower part of the thorax. 
Burial No. 281, closely flexed to the right. Shell beads made from an un- 
known species of Anculosa, and a large bead of jet were at the lower part of the 
right humerus. A quantity of red hematite pigment extended along the right 
upper arm. In the angle between the knees and the body was a rattle made 
from the shell of a box-tortoise, in fragments, as were nearly all found here. 
Under the left knee was a lancehead 4 inches in length. 
Burial No. 283, a child. On the thorax, as though it had been suspended 
from the neck, was a molar of a wolf, perforated for suspension through each of 
the two roots and having, in addition, auxiliary grooves running longitudinally 
along the sides of each root. 
Burial No. 287, partly flexed to the right. Transversely under the pelvis

long, without a point, lay under the trunk. Another about one inch shorter 
was against vertebrz of the thorax. Near the skull was a netting needle in 
fragments, which has since been restored (Fig. 10, A), probably a ceremonial 
breaking which may have included the sizer, though none was found with the 
burial, which was carefully removed with a trowel. 
On that side of the Knoll toward the river, where there had been some wash, 
we were informed Mr. W. F. Cundiff, son-in-law of Mr. Brown, the owner of 
the Knoll, had picked up an object which proved to be a beautiful, winged stone 
of flint, of exquisite shades and symmetry. This we obtained from Mr. Cundiff 
and illustrate on Plate XII. 
We purchased from a resident of Paradise, which is opposite the Knoll as 
we have stated, an object apparently of claystone, having a deep, rounded
