HARTMAN : ARCHEOLOGICAL RESEARCHES ON THE PACIFIC COAST OF COSTA RICA 95 
neighborhood of Las Guacas as well as in other localities in Nicoya and on the 
_ islands of the Gulf I procured at several burial-grounds valuable material represent- 
ing the same culture and these finds include a considerable number of earthen 
vessels of various forms and decorative features besides the above mentioned small 
globular vessels. 
In a second memoir it is my hope to make use of these discoveries and to sup- 
plement them with illustrations and descriptions of a selection of the most interest- 
ing and remarkable specimens of pottery in the Velasco collection from various 
localities on the same peninsula. The comparatively few archeological objects of 
gold, copper, bone, shell, and other material preserved from these parts will also 
receive due attention.
