  of 
  Mrs 
  H. 
  M. 
  Converse, 
  whose 
  opportunities 
  have 
  been 
  exception- 
  

   ally 
  good, 
  and 
  whose

  six 
  others 
  

   illustrated

  State 
  Museum, 
  and 
  were 
  carefully 
  drawn 
  there- 
  

   from

   these.

  and 
  tracery 
  elsewhere 
  adorn 
  the 
  surface.

  and 
  has 
  embossed 
  points

  There 
  is 
  a 
  

   central 
  row 
  of 
  narrow

   each 
  other. 
  Fluting 
  and 
  tracery 
  also 
  appear. 
  This 
  is 
  about 
  i|. 
  

   inches 
  deep. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  402 
  is 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  depth, 
  and 
  has 
  broad 
  crenulated 
  lobes 
  

   above 
  with 
  tracery 
  following 
  the 
  outline. 
  In 
  the 
  center 
  of 
  the 
  wide 
  

   lobes 
  are 
  kidney-shaped 
  or 
  broad 
  cordate 
  perforations, 
  pointing 
  up- 
  

   ward. 
  Below 
  each 
  of 
  these 
  is 
  an 
  open 
  diamond, 
  cut 
  horizontally 
  

   and 
  with 
  a 
  boss

   The 
  state 
  collection 
  of 
  these 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  good 
  representative 
  one, 
  but 
  

   among 
  those 
  formerly 
  used 
  there 
  must 
  have 
  been 
  a 
  great 
  variety 
  

   of 
  detail.
