484 SOME ABORIGINAL SITES. 
It appeared to us that, in pursuance of the desire for symmetry to which 
we have referred, the aborigines had built this addition in order to bring out the 
end of the grave, which tapered somewhat, to the diameter of the remainder of 
the grave.

Ес. 23.—Burials Nos. 3 and 4. The Martin Place. 
At the northeastern corner of this small compartment a few stones were 
missing, evidently through a recent disturbance. In our diagram these stones 
are represented as in place. 
Burial No. 5. This burial was contained in a grave 9 feet in length, nearly 
4 feet in width, and 2 feet in height, outside measurement. The sides, some 
of whose slabs were very large, slanted inward as to their upper parts, giving à 
very uneven appearance to the covering slabs which remained, a few having 
been removed from one part of the grave by a previous digger. Тһе upper 
part of the grave, from which these slabs had been removed, nearly approached 
the surface. 
The grave had been floored with slabs, but the upright stone which pre- 
sumably had been at one end (that at the other end being present) probably 
had been removed by previous digging, and the flooring at this point also was 
missing.
