According to the ethnologists who
have made close studies of the mode of
manufacture, the clay was first made
into a dough and tempered with crush
ed seashells. After this was done the
mass was worked into a fillet and, be-
ginning with a button or ball of clay,
the string was wound round and round
and the bowl built up. In order to
make the clay fillets stay in place they

with the lines painted on nearly all the

line are clearly defined. Like all races
in comparatively low state of civili-

should be inclosed that might retain
evil spirits. So the figures were left
open.
Most of the relies were found imbed-
ded many feet in the sand. However,
many of the smaller household curiosi

small recesses where falling walls had
not reached them and were found just
