THE NORTHWESTERN FLORIDA COAST REVISITED. 573 
comes evident that the few objeets found, though showing that the burials in 
the embankment were not absolutely without mortuary deposits, nevertheless 
emphasize the diserepaney between the burials in the embankment and those 
found in the rise and in the mound as to abundance and quality of such deposits, 
and indicate that the embankment, or that part of it containing burials (the 
increased portion of the southern part), was made at a different time from that 
of the interments within the enclosure when a much greater liberality as to gifts 
to the dead prevailed. 
About one mile in a northerly direction from the Spanish mound, on hammock 
land, is a mound of very irregular shape, having a large circumference and a 
maximum height of 6.5 feet. Extensive digging showed this mound to be of 
white sand without discoloration and indicated it to have belonged to the domi- 
ciliary class. 
MOUND ON THE GREENLEAF PLACE, CITRUS COUNTY. 
About 3.5 miles in a southerly direction from the town of Crystal River, on 
hammock land on the Greenleaf Place, now belonging to Mr. J. K. Eubanks, of 
Crystal River, is a mound that had been greatly dug into before our investigation 
of it. Human bones lay in many places on its surface. Its diameters were 70 
feet and 50 feet. Its original height probably had been about 4 feet, though 
burials were found at a greater depth than that. Whether these burials lay in 
graves, however, it was impossible to determine, as there was no definite base- 
line, and the sand underlying the mound seemed the same as that of which the 
mound itself was composed. 
Trial-holes put down in such parts as seemed to have escaped earlier digging 
reached eight burials, all of the bunched variety, some representing but a small 
part of a single skeleton. With one burial, however, were two skulls, while 
three were found with another. 
Burial No. 5, consisting of fragments of two femora, one tibia, and one hu- 
merus, parts of a skull lying two feet from the rest of the burial, had with it one 
sheet of mica and a small quantity of sand tinted a pale pink with admixture of 
powdered hematite. 
Two arrowpoints of flint were found separately apart from burials, and two 
charmstones, which probably had been together, lay in sand thrown out from 
one of our trial-holes. These objects are now in the Museum of the American 
Indian, Heye Foundation, and through the courtesy of Mr. George G. Heye 
they were submitted to Prof. Charles P. Berkey, of Columbia University, who 
kindly has determined their material as follows: Museum No. Xu Igneous, 
of basie composition, about that of basalt. Probably occurs as a dyke or sill 
and would be classified as a “ітар” or diabase.
