the location of an important village. I soon recognized at a distance 

 shell-heaps and bones, the former of which become scarcer as we leave 

 the shore. Approaching these, on a spnr of Point Sal, upon which a 

 pass opens through the coast-hills, and on both sides of which are 

 springs of fresh water, though I did not succeed, after a careful exami- 

 nation, in distinguishing the remains of a single house, I think I found 

 the traces of a large settlement on a kind of saddle on the low ridge, 

 where flint-chips, bones, and shells lie in great numbers. At length 

 search revealed to me in the thick chaparral a few scattered sandstone 

 slabs, such as in that region were used for lining graves. Digging near 

 these spots, I at last found the graves of this settlement, called by the 

 old Spanish residents call Kes-ma-li. (Fig. 4.)
