Relics for Peabody Museum.

An interesting collection of relics and skeletons from the mounds of southern Mississippi has recently been unpacked in the Peabody Museum. The collection was made by Dr. Charles Peabody and Mr. W. C. Farrabee, who spent last May and June excavating mounds in Coahoma County, Mississippi, with the help of a company of ten men. The collection includes a number of well-preserved skeletons of mound-builders, some good fragmentary pottery, including many colored and decorated specimens, and an excellent collection of arrow and lance heads, knives, and other stone implements. The classification of this collection, which filled twelve large boxes, will occupy several months.
