CERTAIN MOUNDS OF ARKANSAS AND OF MISSISSIPPI. 559 
MOUNDS АТ SPANISH Fort LANDING, SHARKEY COUNTY. 
Visible from Spanish Fort Landing are three mounds, upon one of which is a 
house; upon another, a cotton-gin. 
A few yards from the gin, in a cultivated field, on property of Mrs. L. A. 
Kettleman, living nearby, is a circular rise of the ground, evidently a dwelling-site 
as its surface is thickly strewn with bits of pottery and fragments of musselshells. 
Considerable digging in this place was without return. 
The field in which this dwelling-site is, having an area of forty-five acres, it is 
said, is enclosed, except that part which faces the river, by a semi-circular embank- 
ment resembling a levee. It is from this embankment, which we believe to be 
aboriginal, like similar enclosures in this region, that the landing takes its name. 
MOUNDS ат FAIRVIEW LANDING, Yazoo COUNTY. 
In sight from Fairview Landing, on property of Mr. William G. Childers, of 
Satartia, Miss., in a cultivated field, are three mounds in line, but short distances 
apart. 
The largest, much spread, had been considerably dug into previous to our visit, 
and the smallest mound is in use as a cemetery. Neither of these mounds was 
dug into by us. 
The third mound, lying between the other two, is conical and fairly symmet- 
rical. Its height is 11 feet 6 inches; its basal diameter, 75 feet. A moderate | 
amount of digging in this mound showed that it, too, had been used as a cemetery 
in recent times. 
Near Fairview Landing is a mound belonging to Mr. S. S. Hearn, of Wrong- 
end-up Landing, which we did not investigate owing to the presence of a house 
upon it. 
MOUND ох FAIRVIEW PLANTATION, YAZOO COUNTY. 
In sight from an arm of the river that here encircles a small island, at the 
upper end of Fairview plantation, partly cut away by the road, is a small mound 
also belonging to Mr. S. S. Hearn. The height of this mound is 3 feet; its 
diameter, 35 feet. Our investigation was unrewarded. 
MOUNDS NEAR MaxBoN LANDING, Yazoo COUNTY. 
Two mounds reported by our agent as near Maybon Landing were not visited 
by us, permission to dig not being forthcoming. 
MOUNDS АТ SrALONIA LANDING, SHARKEY COUNTY. 
On property of Mrs. N. J. Guess, living nearby, at Stalonia Landing, are three 
mounds, one of which, much cut away by a railroad, shows no bones or artifacts 
along the section. | 
The other two mounds аге in a cultivated field just beyond the landing.
