344 CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS OF THE NW. FLORIDA COAST. 



Vessel No. 31. — An imitation of a gourd, which is made complete by the yellow 

 color of the ware and a rusty appearance imparted by age, seen in places on the 

 vessel and often met with on the natural gourd. The capacity is about 2 quarts 

 (Fig. 337). 



Vessel No. 38. — An imperforate, undecorated vessel of about 2 quarts capacity, 

 scaphoid in shape. There are traces of crimson pigment exteriorly. 



Fig-. 337.— Vessel No. 31. Mound B, Warrior river. (Four-fifths size.) 



A point of interest impressing itself on us in connection with Mounds A and B, 

 near the Warrior river, is that here, at Alligator Harbor and near Spring creek, two 

 mounds of considerable size are at each of these places in close proximity one to the 

 other. In each of these pairs of mounds one was symmetrical, while the other was 

 in the form of a ridge. From the symmetrical mound, in each case, came ware 

 much superior to that found in the asymmetrical ridge. 



Mound near Steinhatchee River, Lafayette County. 



The mound, in thick scrub, is about one-quarter of a mile in a SE. direction 

 from Rock Landing, which is about 4 miles above the mouth of the river. The 

 height is 4.5 feet; the diameter of base, 62 feet. 



Extensive digging was first done around the margin, showing the sand to be 

 bright yellow with no trace of discoloration. One sherd only was met with.
