Abstract
THE greater part of this volume is occupied by Mr. Moore's account of his systematic exploration of the mounds on the Georgia coast, the Marquis de Nadaillac's short paper being added to draw attention to the parallelism between burial customs on both sides of the Atlantic. Mr. Moore's contribution is a worthy continuation of his previous work, and the classified results of his numerous excavations, accompanied by excellent diagrams and illustrative plates, form a welcome addition to the material already existing for purposes of comparative study. Americans have every reason to be satisfied with the manner in which the archæological investigation of their country is being carried out: such researches as these of Mr. Moore in Georgia, and those of Mr. Cushing among the Keys of Florida, reflect the greatest credit upon all who have contributed to bring them to a successful issue.
