314 ANTIQUITIES OF THE ST. FRANCIS, WHITE, 
sort; others had numerous vessels, eight being found with the skeleton of a child. 
As is usually the case in aboriginal cemeteries, vessels lay near the skulls, but were 
found exceptionally at all parts of the skeleton, as for instance, in the case of the 
skeleton of an adult extended on the back (Burial No. 18), where single vessels lay 
over the left hand, the upper part of the left thigh, the left knee, the left ankle, 
and over the feet. | 
The more interesting vessels from this place will now be described in detail. 
Vessel No. 61. Ап effigy bottle (Fig. 38) representing a human figure having 
the legs extending back across the base of the vessel. 
Vessel No. 115. А bottle with short and comparatively wide neck (Fig. 39), 
being, in our opinion, a highly conventionalized fish-form. The tail and the dorsal 
and ventral fins are indicated, while the details of the head are dispensed with. 
This omission of the head from conventionalized animal forms is occasionally found 
along the St. Francis.
