142 CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS OF THE NW. FLORIDA COAST. 



Vessel No. 18 is rather an irnao-e of earthenware, ahnost solid and of consider- 

 able weight. This image, representing a male wearing a breech clout, ends at the 

 knees, apparently. The arms are folded across the chest. There are traces of crim- 

 son paint on various parts of the body. The upper part of the head, which had 

 begun to crumble owing to the dampness of the mound, received, in addition, a blow 

 from a spade (Fig. 22). 



Fig. 91. — Vessel No. 16. Larger mouml ueiir Bunil .Mill Creek. (About two-thirds size.) 



Vessel No. 27. — Of about 1 quart capacity with a body heart-shaped in outline 

 and a neck flaring slightly. The decoration consists of four encircling rows of 

 punctate impressions above an incised line. 



Vessel No. 81. — Seemingly, when found, a solid full-length image of the human 

 form which, on removal, fell into an infinite number of small bits of the consistency 

 of paste. These, on drying, became extremel}' friable and past all hope of restora- 

 tion. 



Vessel No. 32. — This most interesting vessel of the readymade mortuary type, 

 Avas found in fragments which have since been cemented together with great care and 

 a few missing portions restored, including the upright rim, as to the original shape
