These burials were : one at full length on the back ; one on the back, extended to 

 the knees, the legs being Hexed back ; one flexed on the left side with the legs at 

 right angles ; one cut off at the knees by the aborigines in making another grave ;

three too decayed for determination ; scattered bones in shell above a burial ; a 

 single skull lying on the base of the mound, without the usual covering of shell. 



While no skulls were in a condition to preserve, those in a partial state of pre- 

 servation showed no flattening. 



But one burial, the lone skull, lay in the eastern part of the mound, the others 

 being mainly in the western. 



A few sherds lay at the beginning of the eastern slope and farther in, here 

 and there, the last near the center, were seven or eight vessels of inferior ware, all 

 in fragments but two. The majority were undecorated, the check stamp and incised 

 decoration not being found by us in this mound. Several bore complicated stamps, 

 one of which resembles that on a sherd shown by us in Part I of this report as 

 coming from the great mound at Walton's Camp. Two sherds with complicated 

 stamp decoration are shown in Figs. 119, 120.

 St. Andrew's sound, so-called, is a long arm of water between the mainland and a 

 narrow strip of land bordering the sea, known as Crooked Island. As these are the 

 names made use of on the chart, we have adopted them, though the filling of a pass 

 at the eastern end of the strip of water made it a sound no longer and joined Crooked 

 island to the mainland.
