OJf A POLTCHROME BEAD FROM FLORIDA. By Prof. S. S. Haldeman. This bead (Fig. 1), now in the United States National Museum, is of a kind known to archseology as the star pattern, because the white be- tween the exterior blue and inner red forms a terminal star or zigzag band when the original cylinder is ground into an oval so as to expose the interior colors. Examples occur of various sizes from about two inches in length and one and a half in diameter to about one-fourth of an inch in size, the latter being spheric or oblate and as distinctly Fisc. L. 29080, colored as the large ones. There is a specimen about an inch and a half long in the ancient Egyptian department of the Louvre (hor- izontal case Q), and, according to my recollection, a specimen from Dakkeh (Nubia) in the British Museum (horizontal case E, No. 6294: d) is larger. The Slade collection in the British Museum contains two of the same character.* A large one found in England with Samian cups and Eoman buckles is figured in the Proceed. Brit. Arch- seol. Assoc. 1848, vol. 3, p. 328; Eaussettt figures an example from Gilton, England; and another is described in the Archseologia (1851, vol. 35, pi. 5, fig. 10), the locality unknown, but Mr. B. Nightingale says examples occur along the Ehine and are to be seen in the museums of Mannheim and Baden. Mr. Morlot, of Lausanne, gives colored figures of two examples in the museum at Copenhagen
