286 ANTIQUITIES OF THE ST. FRANCIS, WHITE, 
Johns river, Fla., somewhat above Palatka, and lay with superficial burial deposits 
of glass, iron, and the like, which distinctly denote a post-Columbian period. 
Burial No. 173, a child: seven vessels; a chisel wrought from a pebble, at 
skull. 
Burial No. 176, a child, extended on the back: a mass of red oxide of iron at 
the outer side of the right tibia. We find in our field notes thirteen vessels cred- 
ited to this burial, but as by their numbering it is apparent the vessels were not 
taken out consecutively, there may be an error in regard to the number, and we 
feel it would not be wise to cite this burial as a record. In one of the vessels were 
two rude, discoidal stones. 
Burial No. 179, a young child: two vessels; two ear-plugs of shell, lying 
together, a little apart from the skull. 
Burial No. 180, a child, partly flexed on the right: three vessels; at the neck 
thirty tubular beads of bone from 1 to 1.5 inch in length. 
Burial No. 191, an adult, full length on the back, had two vessels; a mass of 
Ега. 15.—Comb of aboriginal make but of post-Columbian period. Mound on Murphy Island, Florida. (Full size.) 
red oxide of iron, such as is used for pigment, but wrought into the form of a cone 
about 5.5 inches in height. 
Burial No. 192, an adult, extended on the back: six vessels; seven leaf- 
shaped points of flint at the right knee and one at the right hand; knife of flint 
at the right elbow. 
Burial No, 203, an adult, closely flexed and semirecumbent on the back, head 
somewhat higher than the pelvis: one vessel; a shell ornament in small fragments. 
Burial No. 205, a child, full length on the back: three vessels; three shell 
beads at the neck; a shell gorget on the chest (Fig. 16). This gorget, shaped from 
the body-whorl of a marine shell (Fz/gz7), belongs to a well-known type repre- 
senting the human face. This type of ornament has been found with aboriginal 
burials, in the Southern States usually, but has been met with as far north as 
Manitoba. А series of these gorgets is figured and described in the Second Annual 
Report of the Bureau of Ethnology.’
