As this portion of Florida has been long under cultivation, it is impossible to say what artifacts may have been removed by the plow in previous years. LOW MOUNDS NEAR POINT LA VISTA, DUVAL COUNTY Partly on the property of Mr. Shad, resident near by, and of Mrs. J. R. Hunter, of Albany, N. Y., about one mile in a southerly direction from Point La Vista, were three low intersecting mounds (Fig. 2) all showing signs of former cultivation. By arrangement with Mr. Shad, and with kind consent of George M. Wyeth, M. D., of Jacksonville, in charge of the Hunter property, these mounds were totally dug through at a depth of three to four feet below the level of the surrounding territory. They contained the usual charcoal and many fireplaces and were composed of yellowish-brown sand unstratified. _Mound A._ Diameter of base, 29 feet; height, 2 feet 5 inches. No skeletal remains were encountered until the central portion of the mound was reached when small fragments of mouldering human bones were met with at four different points, from one foot to three feet nine inches from the surface. No artifacts were in association save in one instance when a small stone “celt” lay near bones. [Illustration: FIG. 2.—Plan of mounds south of Point La Vista.] With the exception of a nest of many fragments of earthenware, in the southern margin, sherds were infrequent. Certain fragments of earthenware were undecorated, while others bore a complicated stamped decoration, several of these being additionally decorated with crimson pigment—the first occurrence in our experience of the combined ornamentation. Four small arrowheads, too rude for aught save mortuary deposits, were found separately. A bit of chert came from a depth of 5 feet. Singly were: one pebble-hammer; one rude piercing implement of chipped chert and one pebble about 2 by 2.5 inches by one inch in thickness, worked into an oblong shape with rounded corners. _Mound B._ Diameter of base, 52 feet; height, 2 feet 1 inch. In this mound interments, consisting, as in the other, of mouldering fragments, were met with at six different points. Three and one-half feet from the surface, with human remains, were: one bit of chipped chert; a few marine mussel shells; a piece of sandstone; part of a columella of a marine univalve; and a small _Fulgur carica_ with a hole knocked through one side. These all lay in a pocket of sand dyed scarlet with red oxide of iron. Also in the scarlet sand, 4.5 feet from the surface, with a few bits of human bone, were: a small sheet of mica; a smoothing stone of chert; a perforated _Fulgur_ and several molars and incisors and one canine of some carnivore.
