CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS OF THE NW. FLORIDA COAST. 



In the western slope was a burial consisting of a skull and, at a short distance, 

 the lower part of a skeleton with the feet, however, turned toward the skull. As 

 the skull was small and the other bones were small and delicate, it is likely all 

 belonged to the same individual. 



About 1 mile fiirther up the river and 50 yards in, from the left bank going up, 

 approximately, on the edge of hammock land was a mound 2 I'eet high and 32 

 feet across the base. Thorough trenching yielded nothing beyond a few masses of 

 lime rock in the center of the mound. 



Mounds near the Warkiok Rivek, Taylok County. Mound A. 



These mounds, on property belonging to the East Coast Lumber Co., Water- 

 town, Fla., John Paul, Esq., President, were in dense undergroAvth near a tract 

 formerly under cultivation, known as the Pope Field. This field is about 2.5 miles 

 in an easterly direction from the mouth of the Warrior river and 300 yards distant, 

 approximatel}', from the south side of the stream.

Mound A, the more northerly, with a circular basal outline, had a diameter of 

 65 feet. Its height above the general level was 9.5 feet, though deep excavations 

 along the margin, gave an appearance of considerably greater altitude. 



On the surface of the mound, especially on the eastern and southern parts, 

 beneath which most of the earthenware and burials lay, were slabs and thick masses 

 of lime rock, water-worn, doubtless brought from the neighboring stream. Subse- 

 quently, when the mound was completely demolished, similar masses were found
