are absolutely identical in grotesque character and con- 
ception with the Carib potter's figures. The style, in 
fact, whether applied to clay or stone, is peculiarly and 
characteristically the Carib style. There can, therefore, 
be little doubt that the Enmore pottery is the work of the 
same old inhabitants of the West Indian islands, known 
as Caribs And, as if to set at rest any doubt that might 
remain on the point, one of the very few stones show- 
ing traces of treatment by human hands which have oc- 
curred in the Enmore deposit, is a piece of pure coral, 
which certainly was not found naturally in Guiana, and 
which was, almost as certainly, brought from the West 
Indian islands. 
And if the Enmore pottery is thus the work of some 
of those same Caribs whose best known home was in the 
West Indian Islands, it may be pointed out that the 
theory, on which I have already written at length* 
that the Caribs now with us reached the mainland from the 
islands, rather than, as some have maintained, that the Caribs 
reached the islands from Guiana, receives strong confir- 
mation. For, seeing that Carib pottery of this high type 
occurs so sparingly in Guiana that but one deposit of it 
has as yet, after all these years, been discovered, and 
seeing moreover that this pottery, as to a still greater 
degree do the higher types of Carib stone implements, 
occurs much more abundantly, even if still sparingly, in 
the islands, taking, I say these things into consideration, 
it is much easier to believe that one party or a few 
parties, of Caribs, after they had developed the high 
degree of civilization indicated by this pottery, reached 
Guiana and formed this deposit at Enmore, than that
