378 General Notes. [ May, 
For about two years Mr. J. Francis Le Baron, Chief Engineer 
of the St. John’s and Indian Rivers railroad at Titusville, Florida, 
has been engaged in making a reconnoissance of the archzologi- 
cal remains in Eastern Florida for the museum. During this 
period he has located on a copy of a government map of Florida, 
published by the War Department, no less than 173 stations, com- 
prising shell-heaps, burial-mounds and fortifications, in a region 
extending about 300 miles south of the mouth of the St. John’s, 
and inland along that river and over-land to Lake Okeechobee. 
The majority of the stations are, however, on the St. John’s and 
Indian rivers. Taken in connection with Prof. Wyman’s account 
of the shell-heaps of the St. John’s river, the map and accompany- 
ing report by Mr. Le Baron forms a valuable addition to our 
knowledge of the position and number of the prehistoric sites in 
Florida. Mr. Le Baron has also in his report called attention to 
several groups of tumuli of special interest which should be ex- 
plored in detail if funds can be obtained for the purpose, for they 
a different character from the ordinary shell-heaps and 
burial-mounds along the St. John’s and the coast. The report 
and map by Mr. Le Haran will prove of considerable interest and 
importance in connection with the arrangement of the large 
amount of material which we have from the shell-heaps of Florida, 
consisting principally of the collections made by the late Prof. 
Wyman, and the proper time for its publication will be when the 
collections in that department of the museum shall be placed on 
exhibition.
