534 THE NORTHWESTERN FLORIDA COAST REVISITED. 
MOUND NEAR Basın Bayou, WALTON COUNTY. 
The mound near this bayou described in a previous report’ was on the western 
side of the bayou, while the one in question lay to the eastern side in pine woods, 
the property of ће R. E. L. McCaskill 
Co. of DeFuniak Springs, Fla. 
This mound, 47 feet by 38 feet in 
diameter, had centrally an excavation 
11 feet by 13 feet made previous to our 
visit. The height of the mound, 2 feet 
10 inches, no doubt had been affected 
to some extent by the excavation. 
On the surface was a fragment of 
bone, apparently human, and other 
fragments, seemingly thrown out from 
the central hole, were found in our 
digging, which practically included the 
entire mound. No undisturbed burials 
were encountered. 
Fourteen feet in from the margin, 
on the base of the eastern part of the 
mound, were seven vessels, two in frag-
