THE ST. JOHN'S RIVER, FLORIDA. 145 



We believe the occurrence of this type in earthenware to be hitherto unreported. 



Fragments of another tube of earthenware, differing somewhat from the pre- 

 ceding, were discovered elsewhere in the mound. The restoration is figured, Plate 

 XVIII, Fig 4. 



A curious curved tube of earthenware, having a nearly square section, was 

 discovered in caved sand (Fig. 16). 



Figure 17 represents an unidentified wedge-shaped object of earthenware. 



Five feet from the surface was a dish, with perforation made subsequent to 

 baking. Length, 6 inches; maximum breadth, 4 inches (Plate XIX, Fig. 1). 



Figure 2, Plate XIX, represents a round imperforate bowl with the ordinary 

 stamped decoration. The material is of fairly good quality differing from the 

 flimsy structure of the mortuary pottery, to which class this vessel evidently does 

 not belong. Diameter, about 6 inches ; height, about 2 6 inches. It came from a 

 depth of 14 feet. 



Not far from the base was an imperforate vessel having a length of about 3 - 5 

 inches, and 2-25 inches in breadth. Its depth was 1 5 inches (Plate XIX, Fig. 3). 



As shown in Plate XX, Fig. 1, we have a specimen of mortuary pottery, with 

 base perforation made previous to baking, having a height of 325 inches, and a 

 diameter across projecting rim of 3 5 inches. Its diameter at base is 2 - 2 inches. 



Plate XX, Fig. 2, is a rudely made pear-shaped vessel, with a height of about 4 

 inches, and a maximum diameter of 25 inches. Its base contains a perforation 

 contemporary with its manufacture. 



The largest vessel found during our second investigation was an almost cylin- 

 drical jar. It is of dark material upon which considerable polish has been con- 

 ferred. At opposite sides below the rim are perforations for suspension. The 

 bottom is entirely wanting. Height, 7*5 inches; diameter at mouth, 4 inches; 

 diameter at base, 4 - 5 inches. It lay near the centre of the mound, 10 feet from the 

 surface (Plate XX, Fig. 3) . 



Plate XX, Fig. 4, represents a small mortuary vessel with base perforation made 

 previous to baking. Height, about 3 inches; maximum diameter, about 2 inches. 



Fifteen feet from the surface was a bowl with small handle projecting laterally. 

 The base perforation had resulted from a blow subsequent to manufacture. Height, 

 about 2 - 75 inches; diameter, 3 inches (Plate XXI, Fig. 1). 



Plate XXI, Fig. 2, represents a bowl with projecting handle, having base perfo- 

 ration made after completion. The dimensions of this vessel, which was found 12 

 feet from the surface, are 375 inches by 3 25 inches, with a depth of about l - 5 inches. 



A number of additional vessels, presenting no points of especial interest, found 

 during our second investigation, will not be particularly described. 



CONCLUSIONS. 



In Part I of this report, after a fairly thorough investigation of Mt. Royal, we 

 still hesitated to give our conclusions as to the period of its construction, though at 

 the time we were in a position to speak with tolerable certainty.
