Among the gold ornaments found in ancient graves all the way from Peru to the Isthmus, the serpent is often found. On a large number of the ancient burial jars of Nicaragua, now in the Peabody Museum at Cambridge, it is represented either in a realistic or conven tional manner, and in this connection has, presumably, a mythological or symbolical meaning. In Yucatan it appears carved in stone on the front of one of the large ruined o buildings. Farther north in Mexico it is common among the Terr...a-cotta figures and pictographs. On the pottery from the mounds in Missouri it is known as an ornament on at least two specimens which are figured in the Transac tions of the St. Louis Academy of Science. In Tennessee, particularly in the mounds in the eastern portion, it appears on the carved shells, as shown by the numerous specimens in the Cambridge Museum, and in that Museum there is also a carving on a piece of antler, recently found by Dr. Metz in a mound in the Little Miami Valley, which represents the rattlesnake in a conventionalized manner.
