CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS ОХ MOBILE BAY AND ON 
MISSISSIPPI SOUND. 
By CLARENCE B. Moore. 
Mobile bay, about forty miles in length and twenty-three miles across at its 
broadest part, is almost surrounded by Baldwin and Mobile counties, in the State of 
Alabama. Ап opening at the south connects the bay with the Gulf of Mexico. 
As shown on the accompanying map, Mississippi sound extends to the west- 
ward of Mobile bay, bordering part of Alabama and Mississippi. Its length is 
about eighty miles; its width, from five to twelve miles. 
Mr. J. S. Raybon, captain of our steamer, who is very familiar with mounds 
and persistent in locating them, with a companion searched the shores of Mobile 
bay, with the exception of the western side, and carefully traversed the territory 
bordering Mississippi sound, in advance of our visit. After our arrival, the western 
coast of Mobile bay was examined by us in the endeavor to locate mounds.
