Text Appearing Before Image:
purpose of completing idols of which he supposed the two objectsformed the component parts. The theory that collars and tripointed stones stand in the rela-tionship of female and male symbols, and were used in ceremonies toinsure germination or fructification, is not improbable, but like othertheories it lacks decisive facts for its support. In closing this article I find, like those who have previouslystudied the subject, that what is needed to solve this problem of thestone collars and tripointed idols, are more facts regarding their dif-ferences in form. Especially do we need observations on the associa-tion of these objects with other aboriginal specimens. Are theyfound with remnants of human skeletons or with other mortuaryremains, and, if so, is their association of such a nature that theysuggest idols or religious paraphernalia? It is not too late to answerthese questions satisfactorily if investigations are continued in partsof Porto Rico hitherto unknown to the archeologist.
