THE ARTS AND THEIR DISTRIBUTION.
Districts.
As space would be needlessly occupied by attempting to name each county, the area from which specimens have been obtained is, for convenience, divided into districts. These divisions are for use in this article only, and are not intended as archeologic districts.
In the tables given under each heading, the names of counties or districts show where the types described are obtained; the columns following show the number of specimens of each material mentioned in the collection of the Bureau.
Where a limited area only has been examined in any division, the name of the county is usually given; but where specimens of any kind have been obtained from different counties near one another, they are assigned to the district including those counties. The districts are as follows:
Arkansas.
Northeastern: Between White and Mississippi rivers.
Southeastern: Between White and Washita rivers from Clarendon to Arkadelphia.
Southwestern: West of Washita river and south of Arkadelphia, including Bowie and Red River counties, Texas.
Central: From Dardanelles southward and eastward to the above limits.
Alabama.
Northeastern: Bordering Tennessee river east of Decatur.
Northwestern: Bordering Tennessee river west of Decatur. Coosa: Bordering Coosa river southward to and including Dallas county.
Tuscaloosa: Bordering the Tuscaloosa and Little Tombigbee, and extending a short distance below their confluence.
