Vessel No. 12. — .A vessel of about 1 quart capacity, in form an ovoid truncated 

 at either end, with a flaring five-pointed rim, is shown in Fig. 11. 



Vessel No. 13. — A jar of about 3 pints 

 capacity, badly crushed when found. The 

 frasrments have been cemented together with 

 partial restoration. The ware is inferior and 

 the incised decoration is rude. A handle or 

 lip projects obliquely from the rim (Fig. 12). 

 Vessel No. 14. — A vessel of about 3 

 quarts capacity, found in fragments a num- 

 ber of which were not recovered. The parts 

 have been cemented together and certain 

 restoration has been attempted. The body 

 of the vessel has an oval transverse section ; 

 the opening is oval. From one end of the 

 vessel projects a large head, perhaps intended 

 to represent that of a panther. It certainly bears no resemblance to the head of a 

 bear, of a wolf, or of an aboriginal dog. There is interesting incised and punctate 

 decoration, in part representing conventionalized fore-legs and hind-legs (Fig. 13).
