AND BLACK RIVERS, ARKANSAS. 297 
the right eye has been an incised figure which evidently resembled the one on the 
smaller head vessel from the Rose Mound (shown in the next plate), but, unfortu- 
nately, only the two extremities of the figure appear on the original part of the 
larger head. The reader will note that a number of holes are represented in the 
cartilage of the ear, instead of the great hole often shown in the lobe, in which some 
ornament usually is represented as inserted. These holes, as shown in this head. 
are generally present in the head vessels, however. 
In conclusion, we would explain that the representation of the vessel in Plate 
XIV is slightly larger than the vessel itself, and this arose through the need to tilt 
the vessel slightly for the camera in order to obtain a more satisfactory photograph 
for the making of the plate. 
Vessel No. 539. This bowl, having the head and legs of a frog modeled in 
relief on the outside, is of special interest only because the head of the frog, which 
is hollow, has been filled with objects which rattle when the vessel is shaken. 
Diameter of bowl, 5.7 inches. 
Vessel No. 298, a bowl 12.2 inches in diameter, is of yellow ware and has for 
decoration on the inside, in red pigment, a swastika, or symbol of the four winds 
or directions. On the outside, also in red pigment, are three concentric circles, 
doubtless sun symbols. 
Vessel Хо. 378. А bottle of yellow ware (Fig. 26), with a well-made, incised 
decoration, the design based on a swastika. This bottle is by far the best example 
of incised work found by us on St. Francis river. 
Vessel No. 474. This vessel, shown in Plate XV, is another example of the 
class of head vessels, one of which already has been described and figured in this 
report. Тһе vessel under description differs from the one previously described in 
that it is considerably smaller and has a coating of yellow pigment on the upper 
part of the face and red pigment on the lower part. The curious incised marking, 
parts of which remain at the right eye of the larger vessel, is present around part 
of the left eye of this one. Presumably a short neck has at one time been present 
on this vessel, but this we have not attempted to restore. Тһе tip of the nose, 
missing when the vessel was found, has been replaced, however. The back of the 
head has a uniform coating of red pigment. 
Vessel No. 458. А bottle representing a human figure. Тһе nose has been 
slightly chipped on the upper part by a blow of a spade. On the back is the 
curious marking sometimes seen on human efligy-vessels of the Middle Mississippi 
region, which probably represents the spine. The legs, which are shown with con- 
siderable detail, extend beneath the base of the bottle. This bottle is somewhat 
outside the usual style in that the opening is not at the back of the head, but is in 
the body of the vessel in front of the face (Fig. 27). 
Vessel No. 325. This bowl (Fig. 28), found with another exactly similar in 
shape but somewhat larger, has four holes for suspension, and horizontal extensions 
on two sides of the rim, probably conventionalized fins. 
Vessel No. 40. This vessel, of coarse, yellow ware, of a fairly well-known
