The handle is hollow and is truncated squarely at the end. (Cat. Nos. 109813, 109814, U. S. N. M. , Oaxaca, Mexico. Collected by L. H. Ayme. ) (PI. 10 c. 3 ) Kingsborough 4 figures a specimen in the fourth volume of his work. The presumption is that these are censers for domestic use. Through the courtesy of Dr. Walter Lehmann, a photograph of a handle censer from Guanacaste, Peninsula of Nicoya, Costa Rica, has been secured. The specimen is from the Velasco collection, National Museum, San Jos...e de Costa Rica. (PI. 12 c, d. ) Its resemblance to the Nahuatl censer ladle is apparent, and Lehmann cites its locality as "the Mexican enclave of the Peninsula Nicoya. " In point of specialization it is hardly so far advanced as the Nahuatl variety, its decoration is southern, and in some respects it approxi- mates the Zapotec modified tripod. (See pi. 10 b. ) Prof. Marshall II. Saville, while carrying on the work of the Heye Expedition to Ecuador, discovered at Manabi a dipperlike vessel, the end of the handle terminating in a clenched fist, resembling in this respect some of the censers found in southern Mexico.
