simple form. Nos. 4 and 9 are stone hatchets ornamented with 
a ridge near the butt-end of the implement ; this may have had 
reference to the mode of hafting. No. 7 is a stone hatchet with 
wing-like projections at the butt end ; these may have assisted 
in securing the implement to its handle. No. 6 is a stone axe 
having indentations at the sides, but without a continuous 
groove carried round the implement. No. 10 is a stone club 
of dagger-like form, ornamented at the end with the sculptured 
representation of a squatting human figure. This weapon is 
sixteen inches in length. Nos. 11 and 12 are stone hatchets 
with an incised ornament upon one side, representing the upper 
portion of the human figure. It will be observed that the 
carving in No. 11 has been efi'ected by pecking;" in No. 12 
the tool marks have been removed by subsequent polishing. 
C 28. 
All the objects in this Case were found in St. Domingo. Nos. 
I to 10 are stone pestles, used for pounding maize. Many of 
these specimens are ornamented with carving ; such as No. 6, 
No. 8, and No. lo. 
No. 1 1 is a mealing stone. No. 12 is a stone bowl with 
sculptured ornament upon the outside ; it is five inches and a 
half in diameter, -and may have been used as a mortar in which 
to bruise grain. No. 13 is a rude representation of the human 
face ; it probably formed part of a stone mortar, or of a meal- 
ing stone. 
H u. 
Nos. 5 to 1 1 were found in St. Domingo. Nos. 5 to 7 are 
varieties of stone tables, standing on four legs, and used in 
bruising grain. No. 5 is of the most simple form ; it is eight 
inches and a half long, six inches and a quarter broad, and 
stands four inches and a quarter high. 
No. II is a sculptured human head ; it probably formed part of 
a stone table similar in form to No. 7. No. 8 and No. 9 are 
stone pestles similar to those in Case C 28. No. 12 is a modern 
stone pestle used for bruising grain by the natives of Marquesas ; 
No. 14 is a similar specimen. 
Ancient stone pestles of simple form are shown in Case H 13, 
Nos. I to 10 from Ohio, No. 11 from Virginia, Nos. 12 and 13 
from New Jersey, and No. 14 from Florida.
