2nd. The knobs are abundant in number, their forms exceedingly various, 

 their sizes unusually large. The leading designs of the knobs are the opening of 

 several holes in various styles, as shown in the figures. 



3rd. Bottoms are rather numerous. Most of them are smooth though a 

 few are ornamented with matting impressions. 



4th. Some vessels are enormous in size, in one case measuring 320 mm. 

 in diameter. 



5th. All the pottery is rough and never painted with any sort of pigment. 



STONE IMPLEMENTS. 



The stone implements collected in the deposite were very few in number, 

 and many were more or less broken, and showed evidences of wear in various 

 ways. Those which are nearly perfect are four adzes and three others. The 

 four entire adzes (Fig. 9, 12, 13, 14, PI. X) have their edges worn showing that 

 they had been much used. Another implement (Fig. 10, PI. X) worked out of 

 chlorite schist has both ends broken off, and shows an oval form in section. 

 A specimen (Fig. 11, PI. X) which is made of a sandstone is somewhat pointed 

 at one end and round at the other. At the rounded end, two little notches are 

 evidently chipped out for the purpose of fastening the stone tightly to a handle 

 by means of a string. 



Besides these implements, we have found two worked stones: — the one 

 which is made of pumice nearly oblong in shape, well smoothed at. their edges, 

 is morderately flattened, and at a portion near the centre a single round hole 

 occurs which was probably used to pass a string through in order to suspend it. 

 (Fig. 15, PI. X). 



A single drilled stone which is exactly similar in character with that found 

 in the Omori deposit was also found, and thirteen holes are counted on its surface. 

 (Fig. 7, PI. X). 



No hammers, rollers, or mortars were met with such as Prof. Morse 

 discovered lately in the Omori deposits. 



It will be observed that as in the Omori and other mounds near Tokio the 

 implements of stone are very rude and few in number. 



WORKED HORN AND BONE. 



The antlers of deer are abundantly found in the deposits. Most of them 

 (Fig. 2, 3, 4) are roughly cut off, so that their points might be more conveniently 

 used for implements. Another worked antler of deer (Fig. 1, PI. XI). is well 

 smoothed, the one end is somewhat pointed, and has, at its side three parallel 

 incisions and a single projection below evidently worked out; and the other is 

 much broader, and slightly curved. From this shape, we are inclined to suppose 

 that it miirht have been used as a hook.
