506 TWO SAND MOUNDS ON MURPHY ISLAND, FLORIDA. 



With it was a toy vessel also intact as to the base, having a height of 1.5 inches ; 

 a diameter at aperture of 1.4 inches, and .9 of one inch across the base (Fig. 54). 



A spool-shaped object of earthenware, with edges slightly broken, has a height 

 of 3 inches ; a diameter at each expanded end of 2 inches ; a diameter through the 

 body of 1.5 inches. These spool-shaped objects of earthenware probably belong to 

 the "freak" variety. We have figured one 1 from the mound at Davenport on the 

 Ocklawaha, and found a somewhat similar specimen in the mound in the pine woods 

 near Duval's, Lake County.

The remaining vessels from the mound at Murphy Island offered no feature 

 worthy of remark. 



But two tobacco pipes of earthenware were recovered from the mound. One 

 of the usual type found on the lower river, was in fragments, with several con- 

 siderable portions missing; the other (length, 3.5 inches; orifice of bowl, 1.6 inches 

 by 1.2 inches ; orifice of stem, .7 of an inch by 1 inch) is of especial interest, having 

 a rude projecting animal head below the distal margin of the bowl as shown in 

 Fig. 55. 



A curious pendant of earthenware, rude and of poor material, came from 

 11 [feet from the surface. Length, 1.8 inches; maximum diameter, .7 of one 

 inch (Fig. 56). 



An earthenware pendant or bead, with transverse perforation, found loose 

 in the sand, is shown in Fig. 57. Length, 1.5 inches; diameter, .6 of one inch.
