and St. John Islands," offered as a unit of the total report on behalf
of the National Park Service. Coupled with previous studies by
Hatt, Rouse, and others, Bullen's statements on ceramics, artifacts
in general, and chronology will prove another step forward in the
archaeology of this region.
 Robert Steinbach, at the time of our survey a graduate student
in archaeology, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida, ac-
cepted the post of Archaeologist and proved invaluable to me in
all facets of the field work. He covered with me every possible area
of the island in reconnaissance, proved a seasoned field man under
trying and difficult conditions presented by the island environment
-especially along the south coast-through tangles of thornbush, up
rocky headlands and slopes, and on the seas around the island.
Steinbach joined in the Francis Bay testing, helped complete the
Cinnamon Bay test, conducted the Test No. 2 at Coral Bay, and
aided me in the field preparation of sherds and artifacts for over-
seas shipment.
 I wish also to credit Fritz Henle and the Jackson Hole Pre-
serve, Inc., for the use of the aerial photograph of St. John. Rader
and Associates of Miami were responsible for the photo-maps il-
lustrating prime site locations. All other photographs were pre-
pared by the authors.
