MOUND NEAR ARCOLA, HALE COUNTY. 
In a cultivated field bordering the water, on property of Mr. B. G. Gibbs, of 
Demopolis, Alabama, is a mound about one-quarter mile in a southerly direction 
from the landing. Тһе mound, which apparently had long been under cultivation, 
was a trifle more than 7 feet in height. Its basal diameter, N. and S., was 200 
feet; E. and W., 160 feet. In corresponding directions the diameters of the summit 
plateau were 130 feet апа 90 feet. An excavation previously made in the central 
part of the mound showed 1% to be of clay at that point. 
We shall say here, reverting to the subject more fully later in the report, that 
southern mounds of the class of which this опе is, have been found to be domi- 
ciliary and not to contain burials as a rule. Sometimes, however, the flat plateaus 
of such mounds were used as cemeteries, which may be detected by comparatively 
superficial digging. This mound, dug into in many places by us, yielded no indica- 
tion of burials. 
MOUNDS NEAR CANDY’s LANDING, HALE COUNTY. 
These two small mounds are 1.5 miles SSE. from the landing, near the northern 
side of Big Prairie creek. They were located by our agent, but as we were unable 
to obtain permission to investigate them, they were not visited by us. 
MOUNDS NEAR McALriN'S WoopYARD, GREENE COUNTY. 
These mounds, all in the swamp, required the services of a guide to locate 
them. All evidently were domiciliary and all were dug into superficially by us, 
without material result. They are composed of sand and clay, in varying pro- 
portions. 
One of these mounds, about one-half mile in an easterly direction from the 
landing, is approximately 6 feet in height. The basal diameters are 55 feet E. and 
W., and 44 feet N. and S. The diameters of the summit plateau in the corres- 
ponding directions are 33 feet and 23 feet. 
About one-quarter mile in a SSW. direction from the other is a mound 4 feet 
9 inches high. "The basal diameters are 62 feet and 50 feet; those of the summit 
plateau, 25 feet and 17 feet. "This mound is of irregular outline through wash of 
floods. 
About one-quarter mile NE. from the landing is the third mound, very sym- 
metrical and almost exactly square. Its height is 6 feet; its basal diameter, 80 
feet; the diameter of its summit plateau, 45 feet. Its sides almost correspond with 
the cardinal points of the compass. То the east is a great excavation with steep 
sides, whence came the material for its making.
