Plate XXXI. 



Little more need be said of tlie Plan and Section of the " Court of the 

 Pile Dwellers" at Key Marco, shown on Plate XXXI, than has already 

 been remarked in the text (on pp. 350, 356, and succeeding pages, and 

 again in the explanations of figui'es, that follow). 



The section below this plan corresponds to an east and west line 

 througli the court from above section 1, to above section 70 ; and the 

 heavy black border-line around the margins of the court, represents accu 

 rately the area cleanly excavated by us. The locations of preliminary 

 excavations by Collier, Wilkins, Durnfordand myself, in sections 14, 23, 

 83, 33, 34 and 44 ; those of the shell house-piers and -benches, and those 

 of structural finds and of the inlet- and outlet-canals, are significantly 

 indicated by the dotted enclosures, legends, and graphic figures.
