CERTAIN SAND MOUNDS OF THE OCKLAWAHA RIVER, FLORIDA. 537 



ornaments, two of syenitic and two of sedimentary rock, ranging in length between 

 3.4 inches and 2.9 inches, each perforated at one end, three transversely, one from 

 front to back, and more or less rounded at the other end (Figs. 83, 84, 85, 86). 

 In one instance, one side has an incised longitudinal line. In the case of three others 

 the line is represented by a deep groove. One is highly polished. This type is 

 new to us, though we have figured x something similar in Part I as coming from the 

 low mound in the pine woods back of Duval's, Lake County, a duplicate of which, 

 as to type but larger, is shown in " The Archaeological Collection of the United 

 States National Museum," Charles Rau, figure 322, page 90.

An interesting discovery, since the type, we believe, is hitherto unreported 

 from Florida, was an effigy of igneous rock, probably Diorite, representing a bird 

 at rest. The length is 2.1 inches; maximum width, 1.2 inches. The wings are 

 clearly defined, while the tail spreads out to afford a means for suspension. The 

 head, unfortunately, is missing. This type, the bird amulet, is well known to
