Nos. I and 2, Case A 54, are modern shell hatchets, from 
Melanesia. The natural form of the shell determined the shape 
of No. I, as with the Barbados implements. Nos. 2 and 9, Case E 
2, are mounted shell adzes, from Melanesia. No. 21, Case C 40, 
is a mounted shell adze, from the Society Islands. 
These specimens show that the use of shell for implements 
was not limited to the ancient Caribs of Barbados. 
Nos. 13, 15, and 19 are specimens of the pottery found in 
Barbados, associated with the shell implements. No. 1 3 was found 
in the Chapelry of St. Luke, and No. 1 5 at Conset Point. Nos. 
13 and 15 are portions of the rims of rather large vessels; they 
have an indented ornament upon them, produced by removing a 
portion of the clay, whilst still in a plastic state, with the point 
of the thumb ; the mark of the thumb-nail is very distinct. A 
similar kind of ornament may be seen upon the pottery No. 5, 
D 12, from the Highfield pit-dwellings, near Salisbury. No. 16 
is a polished hatchet of greenstone, found in the parish of 
St. James (Barbados).

14. No. 3 was found at Richmond Hill, in the parish of
