CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS OF THE NW. FLORIDA COAST. 329 



turkey or a turkey-buzzard. In it are ol)jects which rattle when shalcen. There are 

 two holes for suspension (Fig. 315). Diameter of body, 4.5 inches; height, 3.3 

 inches : length, S.2 inches. 



Vessel No. 5. — An undecorated bowl of yellow ware, of about 1 c|uart capacity. 

 The base is Hat. 



Vessel No. 7. — A compartment vessel of inferior ware, with a small circular 

 compartment near the center, surrounded b}- three others, two of which are oval in 

 outline, the other, crescentic (Fig. 316). This vessel may represent a face with e^es, 

 nose and mouth. 



Vessel No. 8. — This impressive looking bird-effigy vessel, with head dispropor- 

 tionately small, and extended wings (Fig. 317) has incised and punctate decoration 

 on the tail, showni diagrammatically in Fig. 318. Length, 11 inches; breadth, 12 

 inches ; height, 8 inches; 



Vessel No. 10. — This asymmetrical vessel of four compartments, has had three 



compartments in line, the central one 

 square and raised somewhat above the 

 other two, one of which has a curved 

 margin. The other has a large jiortion 

 missing (Fig. 319). The fourth com- 

 partment has the outline of a spread 

 wing and would lead us to suppose 

 that this was a compartment effigy- 

 vessel, were a similar wing on the 

 opposite side, but none is, or has been, 

 there. Nevertheless, the vessel may 

 be of the class we speak of. since the 

 aborigines were not always consistent. 

 In a low mound near Jacksonville. 

 Florida,' we found a vessel with five 

 compartments, which unquestionably 

 represents a bird. The head, body, tail

Vessel No. 11.— Somewhat over one-half of a vessel which had been made up 

 of two hemispherical cups of solid ware, each of nearly one pint capacity. The part 

 found by us was imperforate. 



Vessel No. 14.— A large pot with complicated stamp decoration, badly broken. 

 Immediately above it lay a mass of lime rock. We carefully examined the interior 

 of this vessel for human remains, but found none. As a similar mass of rock lay 

 beside the pot it is probable that the presence of the two masses was accidental.
