588 CERTAIN MOUNDS OF ARKANSAS AND OF MISSISSIPPI. 
MOUND AT PECAN GROVE, SHARKEY COUNTY. 
This mound, which was kindly placed at our disposal by Mr. T. H. Campbell, 
Jr., of Yazoo City, was not dug into by us owing to the presence of a building 
on it. 
MOUND NEAR BACHELOR RETREAT LANDING, SHARKEY COUNTY. 
By the roadside, in sight from Bachelor Retreat Landing, on property of Mr. 
John Ross, who lives at the landing, is a mound much worn by cattle and washed 
by rain and by the river in times of overflow. The present diameter of the circular 
base of the mound is 60 feet; its height is 3 feet 7 inches. 
Fourteen trial-holes resulted in the discovery of decaying human bones just 
below the surface, and of what appeared to indicate a bunched burial, 2 feet 8 
inches down.

MOUNDS NEAR WRoNG-END-Up LANDING, Yazoo COUNTY. 
In woods about three-quarters of a mile in an easterly direction from Wrong- 
end-up Landing, on property of Mrs. J. E. Edwards, whose address we were unable 
to learn, is a mound with circular base and summit plateau, whose diameters are, 
respectively, 72 feet and 28 feet. Its height is 7 feet 9 inches. 
Nine holes were dug into the summit plateau and into the sides of the mound, 
four being ordinary trial-holes, and five considerably larger. 
Nearly 4 feet down were remains of a badly decayed skeleton. 
In another hole, 3 feet from the surface, were a number of bones crushed 
together, greatly decayed, including three skulls indicated by remains of teeth. 
Two other mounds about one-quarter mile in a northwesterly direction from 
the one just described, served as foundations for pens for domestic animals in flood- 
time and were not dug into by us.
