Fra. 10.—Sherds. Shell deposit, Dauphin island. 
material result, no human remains and almost no pottery being found. These 
mounds, all of which had been considerably dug into previous to our visit, pre- 
sumably belong to the domiciliary class. 
MOUNDS NEAR Bayou Batre, MOBILE COUNTY. 
About one mile north of the bayou, оп the western side, is a property known 
as the Tate place, belonging to Messrs. William E. Gordon and William Vizard, of 
Mobile. On this property, which is in sight from the water, are two mounds, one 
of which, of clay, 6 feet in height and 80 feet across its circular base, had under- 
gone much digging previous to our visit. А careful examination of this mound 
yielded no human remains and but one small fragment of earthenware. 
Nearby is the other, a somewhat smaller mound, also domiciliary. 
MOUND NEAR Mary WALKER Bayou, Jackson County, MISSISSIPPI. 
Mary Walker bayou enters West Pascagoula river not far from the sound. On 
the south side of the bayou, near its mouth, is the residence of Mr. David Saucier. 
About 100 yards in a northwesterly direction from the house is a mound of sand, 
of circular outline, 3.5 feet in height and 56 feet in diameter of base. A thorough 
investigation showed this mound to have been domiciliary in character.
