A shell fish Indian mound has been dis
covered back of Woodwards Garden, San
spear-heads and curious shells have been

with shells, were unearthed. They are thus
described: One popularity about the skele-
ton is~the vertebra, which, instead of termi-
mating in the usual manner, projects about
four and half inches as if it had been a
tail. This skeleton is in the possession of a
Mr.. Allan, residing at "a Julian avenue. He
kinks that if Darwin could have seen
the remains he would have found the miss
ing link. The next strange object found is a
most curious skull. 1t is shaped like that
of ordinary Indians, very thick, eyidencing
a small facial angle, but on the frontal
part there projects large bone, after the
manner of the unicorn. 1t is about two
inches long. The digger, in unearthing the
skull, accidentally mutilated it on one side.
Both the skull and the skeleton will be pre-
sented to the Academy of Sciences for in
vestigation.
