. Bulletin. Ethnology. 238 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [Bdll. 174 thick subcircular cross section. Six of these are midsections; the others are riveted into a sherd, or else have a thinned or tapering end obviously intended for insertion into a hole in the vessel wall. Tliis union was further strengthened by the application of a clay collar pressed firmly about the handle base at each end. Occasionally there is a pronounced boss on the vessel interior where the end of the handle has been flattened out, but other specimens lack this feature and show no superficial evidence whatever of the inserted member. The smallest example is 7 mm. in diameter, and has a 5 by 7 mm. opening for the carrying cord; the largest is about 20 mm. in diameter and has an opening nearly 25 mm. across. Usually these loops are undecorated, but one bears 4 crudely incised diagonal lines, and a second has 16 circular grass-stem punctates unevenly arranged in 3 irregular vertical rows (fig. 40, c)..
