river, is usually, though not invariably, hollowed as to the base, and grooved or 
perforated. Wisconsin specimens, however, show some with flat bases, and one 
having a flat base with neither groove nor perforation.’ 
It would be untenable, we think, to suppose the superb boat-stone of rock 
crystal, with its beautifully beveled upper edge (Figs. 71, 72), which was found by 
us with a burial near the base of the larger mound, to be an unfinished object. 
Probably, as has been suggested, boat-stones without means of attachment were 
carried in the bags of shamans.

In the field in which were the mounds were several sites which, by the color 
of the soil, led us to believe they might prove to be cemeteries, though on them 
were no debris indicating aboriginal occupancy.  Trial-holes in these places proved 
unavailing. 
MOUNDS NEAR NEGRO Нил, WHITE COUNTY. 
On property belonging to the Stoneman & Zearing Lumber Company, of Devall 
Bluff, Ark., in woods subject to overflow, on the western side of, and some in sight 
from, a trestle that forms the western approach of a railroad bridge crossing the 
river below the settlement of Negro Hill, are two low ridges and two low, flat- 
topped mounds, of sandy soil. Careful investigation of the two mounds and one of 
the ridges yielded neither bone nor artifact. 
On the eastern side of the trestle and in sight from it is another low, flat- 
topped mound. Nine trial-holes in this mound produced in only one instance, near 
the surface, a few scattered human bones and fragments of an earthenware bowl. 
CEMETERY AT LINDSAY S PoINT, WHITE COUNTY. 
Lindsay's Point, the property of Mr. W. A. Haley, who lives on the place, 
may be reached from White river but is more eonveniently approached by running 
up Little Red river about 2 miles. 
The point is high ground surrounded by woods. Near the river is a strip of 
soil black from admixture of organic matter and having on the surface many small 
fragments of pottery, pebble-hammers, and other debris. It is said that human 
bones have been ploughed up at this place. 
Careful investigation yielded scattered human bones and four burials, two of
