274 CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS, LOWER TOMBIGBEE RIVER. 
panther (Fels concolor). Тһе last five identifications kindly were made for us by 
Prof. F. A. Lucas. 
Centrally, on the base of the mound, was a bunched burial, including certain 
bones of a child. At the eastern end of the deposit were two adult skulls and one 
belonging to a child. With these were a few cylindrical, shell beads, each about an 
inch in length. 
Mound Number 4.—This was situated in a cleared field, and had been ploughed 
over to some extent. Its height was 4.5 feet; its major and minor diameters 46 
feet and 36 feet, respectively. This mound, which was almost surrounded by a 
shallow trench, was completely leveled by us. About 3 feet down, considerably to 
one side of the center, was a burial similar to one we have described before as found 
at this place, where a space without bones lay between the skull and the pelvis. 
From the pelvis two femurs and two tibiæ extended in proper order. Probably the 
foot-bones were dug away by our men. Оп or near the center of the base, 45 
inches down, was a skeleton flexed on the right side. Back of the skeleton was а 
bunched burial having one skull. Over this burial, but not over the skeleton, was 
charcoal. 
Mound Number 5.—Height, 1 foot 10 inches; basal diameter, 19 feet; portion 
centrally dug out, 12 feet. Twenty-two inches down were a skull, then a space 
without bones, and then, on the same level, a pelvis with two femurs in place ex- 
tending from it. Near the skull, the earth was colored red. In a deposit along 
side were: one pebble; one arrowhead of quartzite; five small arrowpoints of 
jasper; part of an undecorated smoking-pipe of an ordinary type, and a mass of 
clay material. On top of the skull lay a badly-decayed bone of a lower animal, and 
a lancehead of quartzite, 4.5 inches in length. 
Mound Number 6.—Height, 1 foot; diameter, 16 feet; portion excavated, 11 
feet across. Теп inches down were a skull, a fragment of scapula, two humeri, part 
of an ulna, and a bit of bone on the other side of the skeleton where the forearm 
would have been. Next came a pelvis in position and at a proper distance from 
the skull. Extending from the pelvis were two femurs. Near the skull were а 
small, unbarbed fish-hook of bone, grooved for a line at one end; several small bits 
of pottery and a few chippings from pebbles. With this material were two human 
phalanges. 
Mound Number 7.—Height, 1 foot 6 inches; diameter, 19 feet; a core 12 feet 
across was dug out by us. In it were a lone skull and several fragments of pebbles. 
Mound Number 8.—Height, 1 foot 8 inches; diameter, 21 feet; 11 feet of the 
inside dug out by us. Just under the surface was a deposit consisting of a good- 
sized arrowhead of quartzite; one bit of pottery; 29 fragments of pebbles; two
