CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS OF THE NW. FLORIDA COAST. 297 



partment missing. This vessel, we believe, has been a life-form, a semi-circular 

 compartment at either side of the main one standing for wings, while a moi-e pointed 

 one behind indicates the tail. Unfortunately, the compartment representing the 



head is the missing one. 



Vessel No. 35. — A cylindrical vessel of 

 yellow ware of about 2 quarts capacity, the 

 decoration consistina; of an arrangement of 

 zigzag bands and diamond-shaped figures 

 (Fig. 270). Certain bands and the larger 

 diamonds are the yellow color of the ware, 

 while other bands and the smaller diamonds 

 are colored crimson. This vessel somewhat 

 recalls many others of the same shape re- 

 cently found in southwestern United States. 



Vessel No. 39. — A hemispherical body 

 and constricted neck ai'ound which runs a 

 band of complicated stamp decoration (Fig. 

 271).

 capacity, having a complicated stamp deco-

Vessel No. 50. — Quadrilateral with square, imperforate base and constricted 

 neck. Around the upper part of the body is a band of complicated stamp decora- 

 tion about 1.5 inches broad. This vessel fell from near the surface in caving sand. 



Vessel No. 53. — A vessel of solid yellow ware with flat imperforate base, with 

 decoration consisting of designs each composed of three concentric triangles, the 

 inner one in each case being deeply cut. There are two holes on opposite sides for 

 suspension (Fig. 273). 



Vessel No. 57. — A vessel of about 3 pints capacitj-, undecorated save for a 

 graceful scallop around the rim. 



Vessel No. 63. — Has three compartments as shown in Fig. 274. The ware is 

 unusually heavy. This vessel, which is imperforate, came from caving sand in the 

 causeway. Length, 8.5 inches; height, 1.7 inches. 



Vessel No. 64. — An effigy of the human figure from the waist doAvn, parts of 

 which were missing when found, the remainder having been restored. This may 

 have been an entire figure which, broken later, has had the irregular margin of the 

 fracture smoothed down to allow the remainder of the vessel still to be of use 

 (Fig. 275). 



Vessel No. 65. — This bowl, of inferior ware, found badly broken in the cause- 

 way, is of interest in that it presents a combination consisting of a decoration in 

 relief beneath the rim and a faint complicated stamp extending 2 inches farther 

 below (Fig. 276).
