HUMAN REMAINS IN THE SHELL HEAPS OF THE 
T. JOHN’S RIVER, EAST FLORI 
CANNIBALISM.* 
BY PROF. J. WYMAN. 
AFTER repeated-examinations of the more important shell heaps 
on the St. John’s, we have failed to find any evidence that they 
were used for the burial of the dead, or for any other purpose 
than dwelling places. Human bones have, however, been dis- 
covered in them, from time to time, under peculiar circumstances, 
and as their presence opens a question of much interest, it will be 
desirable to describe in detail each of the instances in which they 
have been detected, especially where the bones have been found 
in considerable numbers. 
1. The first which came under the notice of the writer, was at Old 
Enterprise, on Lake Monroe, in 1861, a few rods above the high 
bluff and near the shore of the lake. The deposit of shells where 
bones were found is about four feet thick, and has been 
much washed away by the waves during the great storms. While 
making an excavation near the roots of a large palmetto tree 
a 
permitted to print this paper in advance from the “Sixth Annual Report 
of the Peata Museum of Anthropology,” now in press.—EDs.
