MOETAES MADE OF STONE. 73 



This example measures as follows: Greatest diameter, 18.6 inches; 

 height, exteriorly, 12 inches; depth of vessel inside, 10.1 inches; breadth 

 of the rim, 1.5 inches. 



In the following example we have almost a duplication of the preceding; 

 also of sandstone, with the bottom somewhat flattened, and with the edge 

 extending inwards. The interesting feature is, in this case, the fact of a 

 small piece of the mineral having become detached and replaced and 

 then fastened by means of asphaltum. This method of repairing injuries 

 will be better described in noticing other specimens. 



The measurements are as follows: Greatest diameter, 17.3 inches; 

 heigdit, exteriorly, 11.3 inches; depth of vessel inside, 9.3 inches; breadth 

 of rim, 1.5 inches. 



A mortar quite similar to the preceding, but in every measurement 

 except the breadth of the rim, about one inch less, has the rim sloping 

 outward, and in this are six short grooves ; but now without asphaltum, 

 which still adheres to many specimens from the same and neighboring 

 localities. 



The measurements are as follows: Greatest diameter, 1 7 inches; height, 

 exteriorly, 10.2 inches; depth of vessel inside, 8.8 inches; breadth of rim, 

 1.3 inches. 



Another, considerably larger, of the same material, with the rim pro- 

 jecting inwards, has but two depressions on opposite sides, one of which 

 is partly broken away. 



The measurements in this example are : Greatest diameter, 21.5 inches; 

 height, exteriorly, 12.6 inches; depth of vessel inside, 10.1 inches; breadth 

 of rim, 2 inches. 



Still another, showing the character of an overlapping rim, has the same 

 projecting rim both outwardly and inwardly, and wants the depressions 

 referred to in the other specimens. This is made of a softer sandstone. 



The measurements are as follows : Greatest diameter, 1 7.5 inches ; 

 height, exteriorly, 10.1 inches; depth of vessel inside, 7.1 inches; breadth 

 of rim, 1.5 to 1.75 inches. 



Another example from Dos Pueblos, of very regidar shape, has neither 

 the projecting rim nor the depressions. It is noticeable, in this connection,
