River gave distinct evidence of 
contact with Europeans, and as 
we have found vessels with feet 
in many other mounds, the con- 
tents of which gave no proof of 
the influence of white men, we 
believe that aboriginal vessels 
with feet were not of neces- 
sity inspired by contact with 
Europeans. 
We shall now describe in 
detail the vessels of earthenware 
found by us during our second 
visit, continuing the enumeration 
from the last number in 
former report.

RIVER REVISITED. 
On the second sherd is probably 
part of another wing which, how- 
ever, by no means corresponds 
with the first one (Fig. 4). 
A small fragment of a vessel, 
found in this investigation (Fig. 5 
and diagram, Fig. 6) seems, judg- 
ing from form and decoration, to 
have been the tail on a vessel rep- 
resenting a bird. If such is the 
case, the vessel was a marked 
exception, as the life-form, so 
abundant in the pottery of the 
northwestern coast of Florida, is 
conspicuously absent from the 
earthenware of the central western 
coast. 
А fragment of а monitor-pipe 
of earthenware was found apart 
from human remains. 
Among fragments of earthen- 
ware met with at this visit, as 
before, were a number of parts of 
vessels which had possessed four 
feet, and several entire vessels each 
having four feet also. Ав nothing
