CERTAIN ABORIGINAL MOUNDS OF THE APALACHICOLA RIVER. 



By Clarence B. Moore. 



The Apalachicola river, formed by the union of the Chattahoochee and the 

 Flint, at the boundary between Georgia and Florida, keeps a southward course 

 through the Florida mainland and empties into Apalachicola bay, a part of the Gulf 

 of Mexico. The length of the river is about 70 miles in a strai2;ht line, and about 

 105 miles, following the course of the stream. 



What we have said as to the reproduction of vessels and as to the preparation 

 of the report, at the beginning of the paper on the mounds of the Florida west-coast, 

 applies equally to this report.
