128 CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS, BLACK WARRIOR RIVER. 
MOUNDS AND CEMETERIES, IN TUSCALOOSA AND HALE COUNTIES, NEAR 
MOUNDVILLE, HALE COUNTY. 
This famous group of mounds, near Moundville,' lies between the town and 
the Black Warrior river which is about one mile distant from the town. Тһе 
larger, better preserved, and more important mounds belonging to this group are in 
Tuscaloosa county, on property of Mr. Hardy Clements, of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. 
Other interesting mounds completing the group, belonging to Mr. С. S. Prince, of 
Moundville, are in Hale county, the county line dividing the Clements and Prince 
estates. The cordial thanks of the Academy are tendered Messrs. Clements and 
Prince for full permission to dig, both in the mounds and in the level country sur- 
rounding them, a permission which, coming as it did in the planting season when 
our presence was an inconvenience, is especially appreciated. 
So far as we can learn, no report of investigation at Moundville has been pub- 
lished, though an occasional reference, not always entirely correct, has appeared in 
archeological publications.

Moundville by Dr. M. G. Miller, who, in addition, as in all our former archeological
