Vessel No. 20. — A bowl of about 2 quarts capacity, found broken into many 

 pieces, some of which were not present with the rest. The decoration, which is on 

 the upper part, consists of a zigzag and a meander, in places, running through a

In Fig. 93 is shown a bird-head handle which, when found, contained nine Hat

 sort are rare along the northwest Florida coast, one having been found by us last 

 year and three during the present season. 



In Fig. 94 is shown a sherd of most excellent ware with bird-head handle and 

 incised representation of a wing.
