and entirely from the present accepted arrangement. He main- 

 tains that the location of Tiguex, rather than Cibola, is the key 

 to the correct solution of this problem, and from strong evidence 

 derived from Benavides, Espejo, Castaneda and others, he 

 locates Tiguex near San Antonio station. The site at Ber- 

 nalillo, for this central town, so long advocated by Bandelier 

 and his followers, he declares is impossible. With Tiguex at 

 San Antonio station, the famous " Seven Cities of Cibola," which 

 Bandelier placed on the site of modern Zufii, are thrown instead 

 into southwestern New Mexico, either on the Gila near Old 

 Camp Vincent, or Old Fort West, or between these and the 

 Florida Mountains, with the balance in favor of a site on the 

 Gila. Cicuye, instead of being at Pecos, was apparently a 

 Tompiras town, either what has been erroneously called Gran 

 Qiiivira or some village of that locality. The Braba of Coro- 

 nado would fall in the vicinity of the present Cochiti, instead of 

 at Taos, and Tusayan instead of being at the Moki towns, 

 would fall in its position 20 leagues (50 or 60 miles) northwest 

 of the position of Cibola. 



Mr. Harlan I. Smith presented a paper on the " Hauptman 

 Earthwork," in Ogemaw County, Michigan. The discovery of 

 this earthwork was first announced by him in Science, June 21, 

 1 90 1 (p. 991). Personal observation in July enabled him to 

 correct its location somewhat. It is on Section 33 or 34, or 

 both, T. 22, N. (instead of 21), R. i, E. It was found to lie 

 in a lumbered pine area, and, unlike most such earthworks, far 

 from any watercourse. It is covered by dense undergrowth 

 and fallen timber. It is composed of a rounded embankment 

 of earth, about two feet high and twelve feet wide, encircling an 

 area about 197 by 177 feet; outside this is a ditch, two feet 

 deep, six feet wide at the top, but narrowing towards the bottom. 

 Signs of another embankment were seen outside the ditch, and 

 within the enclosed area were several hummocks which may 

 prove to be mounds or similar works. There are three open- 

 ings in the embankment. The antiquity of the work is indicated 

 by the presence of large pine stumps on the embankment and 

 in the ditch ; the largest stump measured thirteen feet four inches 

 in circumference.
