Excerpt from Certain Antiquities of the Florida West-Coast During the past eight years we have made certain investigations of aboriginal remains in the southern United States with the aid of a large fiat-bottomed steamer containing a corps of assistants and numbers of trained men to dig. The results of these investigations have been embodied in reports appearing in the Journal 1 of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, where the collections made by us during our work are deposited.
