OBJECTS OF JADE FROM MExIco. 
The specimens here reproduced for comparison are from the state of Oaxaca. 
They were obtained from Dr. Carl Lumholtz and other collectors and were loaned 
me for reproduction by Mr. George G. Heye of New York City. Of these specimens 
the figurines represented in the three top rows of Pl. XLVI, show the structural 
shape of the mineral. The natives have simply taken advantage of the natural jade 
parellelograms and used two sides as a face for the carving of the human figures. 
Only asmall number of specimens have the back rounded or flattened. All have 
suspension holes bored sideways. The following objects are illustrated.
