The “Steatite” Bowls now show decidedly European influence, altho the most striking feature is the under disc which is probably added to give strength as the Steatite itself is very friable, its form reminds one of the inverted comb on the skull of a Gorilla which is very African. These specimens like many others are from that Great Store House of information The British Museum which happily secured many of the interesting examples collected by the late Mr.Bragg F.S.A. We can but regret that so complete a collection should ever have been dispersed—Sic transit.
