784 PAPEES RELATING TO ANTHROPOLOGY. 



though the broken river face presented a fine opportunity for viewing 

 the interior. I am informed that near this to the north are two burial 

 sand mounds in the scrub, although I was able, after a close and long- 

 continued search with two assistants, to find but one, and this had been 

 opened. What aj)pears indistinctly like a wide level road or way leads 

 due east from the shell heap, between two ponds, which possibly were 

 once one. 



Less than a mile south of this mound is a small kjokkenmodding on 

 the immediate east bank of the river, on land of J. M. Hopkins, whose 

 house and garden are situated on it. There are somewhat indistinct re- 

 mains at the mouth of Crane Creek, at Melbourne, on the north side, on 

 land of Thdinas Fish, deceased, and on the south side on land of Peter 

 Wright. On the opposite side of the river in Sec. 6, T. 28 S., E. 37 E, is 

 an Indian mound. South of this not quite 2 miles is another, both on 

 the east side of the river, and the last opposite the mouth of Turtle 

 or Turkey Creek. I am told that shell fields exist on the banks of this 

 creek but have not examined them. 



Cape Malabar is an insignificant point of land on the west bank of 

 Indian Eiver. South of the cape, on the same side, about four-fifths of 

 a mile, is a shell mound on land of E. Arnold, and adjoining this, to the 

 south, is a shell bank. About a mile and a half south of the Arnold 

 mound there is a sand mound, on land of Mr. Damon, in Sec. 8, T. 29 S., 

 E. 38 B. 



The next mound is of shell, situated on the beach ridge due east from 

 the island called Grant's farm, and near the northeast corner to T. 30 

 S., E. 38 E. It is called " Wild Boar Mound," and is situated in a deep 

 bay of the river at a very narrow place in the peninsula. The waters 

 of the river come to the foot of this mound, which is about 20 feet high 

 and 200 feet long on the river, with steep sides, and composed of broken 

 pottery, shells, and ashes. 



In T. 31 S., E. 39 E. is a high long bluff of shells on the west side of 

 Indian Eiver. I have not examined this except from the river, but it 

 is probably an extended kjokkenmodding. 



Opposite Jupiter Inlet on the west bank at Stone's Point are several 

 large oyster-shell heaps, as I am informed by numerous observers, one 

 of which is said to be very large. In the southern end of Lake Worth, 

 in T. 45 S., I am told there is a large mound on the west side of the lake, 

 about 100 yards from the beach, and across the lake on the sea beach 

 there are two large shell heaps comijosed of oyster shells. ^N^o oysters 

 exist now within 10 miles of these heaps. There is also a mound in 

 the hummock opposite the old inlet to the lake. 



On the D elesfine grant, on the east boundary of Sec. 32, in T. 22 S., 

 E. 35 E., is a very small and insignificant kjokkenmodding. It is A^ery 

 probable that this place is of much more recent age than the remains 

 previously described herein, it having the appearance of a camping 

 place of some of the Seminole tribe of Indians.
