 party of archaeologists from the Acad- emy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia have been engaged all winter long in ex- ploring the ancient funeral mounds along the Savannah river. They travelled and lived In a stern-wheel house-boat, which is de- scrbed as marvel of convenience and comfort. Their chief trouble consisted in distinguishing between funeral mounds and mere domiciliary or hfgh-water mounds. In the latter nothing of value was buried-no ur1is or bones. The early Indians left many valuable mounds along the Savannah; and the house-boat party will return to Philadelphia in the spring, where the finds will be classified. the artists put at work, the narrative and description pre- pared, and the proofs read. When the work is published in book form, 1t Is time to start again for another winters work
