jjunctate markings (Fig. 323). This vessel, whose capacity is about 1 quart, is a

 gourd-shaped vessel of }ellow ware, with 

 a small perforation in the side in addition 

 to the usual one in the base. This ves-

 recovered by us from the mound with- 

 out injury. Maximum diameter, 14.8 

 inches; height, 14.3 inches. 



Vessel No. 12. — A large pot bearing 

 the complicated stamp, found in frag- 

 ments. 



Vessel No. 13. — A bowl of about 1 

 quart capacity, with a rim turned inward 

 and upward, bearing incised animal sym- 

 bols, including the fore-legs and hind-legs, as shown diagrammatically in Fig. 324, 

 where the distance between the two designs on the vessel is ignored.

 Vessel No. 18. — A much flattened sphere with high neck, slightly flaring, 

 around which is complicated stamp decoration.

 325). 



Vessel No. 22. — A handsome ves.sel of excellent ware, highly polished, of some- 

 what less than 1 quart capacity. The decoration, raised and incised, may be 

 highly conventionalized fore-legs and hind-legs (Fig. 326).

 327). 



Fig. 328 shows an animal head which has served as a handle for a vessel.

Mounds nkar the Wakrior River, Taylor County. Mound B. 



This mound, in thick hammock, about 200 yards in a southerly direction from 

 Mound A, was of irregular outline, with major and minor diameters of 76 feet and 

 54 feet, respectively. Its height was about 7 feet. There were great excavations in 

 places around the margin, whence sand for the erection of the mound had come. 



There had been no previous digging. 



Owing to the marginal excavations to which we have referred, it was impossible 

 to determine, from its appearance, just where the mound began, therefore twenty 

 men were placed around it in a circle whose diameter exceeded that of the mound.
