68 CERTAIN ABORIGINAL MOUNDS OF THE GEORGIA COAST. 



Of the skeletons : 20, were of males ; 12, of females ; 6, of uncertain sex ; 3, of 

 adolescents ; 1, of a child. 



Of these 42 skeletons all but one were flexed 1 on the right side and all but the 

 same one headed in a southerly direction, 17 being due south. The one exception 

 lay flexed on the left side with the head pointing E. N. E. 



We append all burials of interest and all associated with any artifacts. 



Burial No. 2, 23 feet S. E. by S. from the center, at the bottom of a pit, 3 feet 

 6 inches from the surface, extending 1 foot 3 inches into undisturbed sand, was a 

 skeleton of uncertain sex flexed on the right side, head S. 



Burial No. 5, 21 feet S. E. by S., 2 feet 4 inches down, was a skeleton of a 

 male, flexed on the right side, head S. With it was a tobacco pipe with portions 

 of the rim missing, representing a human face and differing somewhat from the one 

 from Bourbon, where the teeth are shown continuously, while in this specimen, 

 which recalls the one from Darien, they are represented on either side only (Fig. 46).
