468 SOME ABORIGINAL SITES ON MISSISSIPPI RIVER. 
Vessel No. 272. A bottle 5.8 inches in height, of a rather common type, rep- 
resenting a fish with head, tail, and fins, in relief. Тһе only feature of particular 
interest of this vessel is that its short, wide neck has two loop handles on opposite 
sides. 
Vessel No. 283. A life-form representing a shell drinking-cup wrought from 
the conch (Fulgur), the beak and the spire being clearly indicated. Height, 2.5 
inches. 
` Vessel No. 531. This bottle of compound form, having three encircling lines 
of punctate markings around the lower part of the neck, above which are four con- 
ventional handles without openings, and an annular base, belongs to a class of 
which a number of examples were found by us at Pecan Point. A similar vessel 
is figured by Holmes.’ 
Vessel No. 68. А bottle 6.7 inches in height, also similar to one figured by 
Professor Holmes, having an animal head projecting from the neck, the opening 
being at the back of the head. 
Vessel No. 464. А bottle 3.6 inches in height, whose body 18 а life-form rep- 
resenting a fish seen in profile. The head, tail, and dorsal and ventral fins are rep- 
resented, but with no high degree of excellence. An interesting and unusual feat- 
ure is the vent in place, clearly modeled in relief. 
Vessel No. 55. A bottle very rudely made, 4.2 inches in height, the body 
having the form of a fish on which, in relief, are the usual head, tail, and fins. А 
noteworthy variant, however, is the head of some animal indistinctly modeled on 
the neck of the bottle. 
Vessel No. 88. This pot, rather coarsely made, has on one side, in relief, a 
modeled head representing that of a raccoon. On the opposite side 1s a conven- 
tional tail. The body of the bowl has very roughly executed incised decoration. 
А vessel in many respects similar to this one is figured by Holmes? as coming from 
Arkansas, and a vessel also recalling this one, with a modeled raccoon head on each 
of two opposite sides, was found by us at the Rose Mound,‘ St. Francis river, Ark. 
Vessel No. 246. А bowl 6 inches in maximum diameter, having a rim pro- 
jecting horizontally. Оп one side, extending upward, is a modeled representation 
of a human head, from which the features have partly disintegrated. -On the oppo- 
site side, extending horizontally, is the modeled figure of a quadruped, from which 
the tail is missing. This figure has projections along the back such as are seen on 
many human effigy bottles, and which, as we know, are introduced to indicate the 
vertebrae. 
Vessel No. 230. А pot having in relief the head and legs of a frog. The tail 
is represented by a disk in relief. 
Vessel No. 431. А bottle 7.3 inches in height, with wide neck about 3 inches
