I have ennnierated these in the order of then- distance fi'ora the Southern 

 point of the strip of land between the Ashley and Cooper Elvers, on which the 

 City of CTharleston lies. With regard to the 3d, 1th, 5th, and 6th, which lie 

 nearly in an E. and W. line, I have enumerated them in order of distance 

 from the E. side of the City. 



I have not examined the cemetery of St. Paul's, nor that of the Second Pres- 

 byterian Church, nor the cemeteries adjacent to Magnolia Cemetery. Addition- 

 al infoimation might have been obtained, if some one could have aided me by 

 examining those cemeteries which I was unable to ^isit.

 observed, now to be recorded, beginning with those in the cemetery of 



Tlie First Pre-sbi/terian Cliurcli.
