A number of shells[165] were found under the head of each skeleton, of the kind known to conchologists as the _Nerita littoralis_.

The urn which we have figured is the largest and most perfect, and manifestly the earliest of the set.

It is six inches high, rudely carved, yet not without some attempt at ornament.

The bone pin was probably used for the hair, and the shells are obviously strung for a necklace.

We give above a specimen of the highest class of cinerary urns.
