the slope, where they placed ready for re-
moval to the different platforms These statues,
moreover represent various stages OF formation
some of them finished others nearly completed,
and still others barely commenced. In size they
range from or feet to nearly so feet in length.
The largest image found in an unfinished state,
measures 70 feet in length; the smallest is little

range In size from the colossus OF 20 feet down
to the pgmy of feet, they clearly all of the

and heavy, but imperfectly formed. the ears are

the shoulders at the waist very little work

statues has been brought TO the National Museum
at Washington. y. c.. while another is on exhibit

The striking feature about these figures is the

miles distant from the cone where the statues
themselves were formed Subsequent discoveries
on the island have brought to light headdresses OF
real feathers, made up crowns coronets. and
other shapes The finding OF these feather deco
lions which were used for ceremonial purposes
has given strength to the belief that the immense
stone crowns which superimposed on the
heads Of the statues were intended to represent
these feathered ornaments.
How these immense statues were cut out OF
their position inside the crater OF the volcano and
transported several miles to their respective
platforms is one OF the mysteries left for us to
puzzle over. As for tools, a rude form OF stone
chsel is the only kind OF ancient implement thus
far found
