A large specimen, of the same general character of ornamentation, hut with 

 two perforations, is figured in the Smithsonian Annual Report for 1875 

 without any history being given of its origin other than that 

 it was found in New Jersey.* A beautiful specimen, ap- 

 proaching Fig-. 80 in size, but much more carefully finished, 

 is figured and described by Dr. Rau,f from Connecticut. 

 Squier and Davis have also described a similar specimen from 

 Ohio,t and the writer one from New Jersey. § 



Fig-. 81 represents a small pendant made of serpentine 

 without any incised lines upon its surface. It is carefully 

 made and well finished, and its size suggests that it was per-

 grave on the island of San Clemente (P. M. 13504). 



Figs. 82, 83, and 84 represent, of natural size, three other forms of

 Santa Catalina during the explorations of Mr. Schumacher. Like most of 

 these small ornaments of stone, they are made of serpentine and "of talcose 

 slate. 



Of the same general character as these pendants are certain thin 

 pieces of stone which are perforated, and may be considered ornamental 

 stones. The two specimens from the graves at Dos Pueblos, here figured,
