280 CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS, MOBILE BAY. 
In this report is given the result of our work in 1905 on Mobile bay, which is 
meager, and the outcome of our search along Mississippi sound as far as Biloxi, 
Miss. which is purely negative. At Biloxi, somewhat more than half the length 
of the sound having been covered, our work was abandoned, as our agent reported 
no mounds of importance beyond, and because our work on the sound had been so 
discouraging. 
The warm thanks of the Academy are tendered to owners of mounds and of 
sites around Mobile bay and along Mississippi sound for courteous permission to con- 
duct investigations on their properties.
