tery, and iin excavation made any where within or near those boundaries 

 will reveal human remains. The inhumation was usually at length, 

 with head to east. 



A short distance east of the Linwood Station, on the south side of 

 the railroad, can yet be seen a portion of a mound remaining. This 

 mound was removed to make way for the L.M.R.E. (Site marked by 

 an asterisk.) Many relics were found in grading down these mounds, 

 and leveling the ground over the cemetery, and are in the collections 

 of Dr. H. H. Hill, and J. J. Hooker, of Cincinnati, and of the writer 

 and others. 



The hill northwest of Red Bank station, and distant about two hun- 

 dred 3^ards from it, has an elevation of about 150 feet. This hill is 

 terraced on its eastern and southern slope; the terraces are five in 

 number, and are undoubtedly the work of human hands. On the top 

 of this hill is a mound (Group B, No. 5); its present elevation is about 

 four feet, and has not been explored. 



Southwest of this mound, and at about the same elevation known 

 as " Linwood Hill," distant about 400 yards, is the site of a mound 

 (marked by an asterisk, Group B); it has been graded down. I could 

 learn nothing positive as to its dimensions; the Anderson house occu- 

 pies its site. Still farther westward, a quarter of a mile distant, and 

 at the same elevation on the Land Company's propert}", is a mound 

 (Group B, No. 6) four feet high, and a circumference of 150 feet. It 

 has not been explored. 



One half mile north of Red Bank station, on the second bottom or 

 plateau of Duck Creek, immediately southwest of the western end of 

 the Cincinnati & Eastern Railroad trestle, is a mound eig'ht feet high? 

 and 200 feet in circumference at base (Group B, No. 7). It lias not been 

 explored, but is cultivated annually. Half mile to the northwest of 

 this mound is another, with an elevation of five feet, and circumference 

 of about 175 feet. It is on the same level as the foregoing one, and on 

 the lands of the Dr. Duncan estate (Group B, No. 8). 



Group C. 



Is located altogether in Anderson township, and principally along 

 the Batavia turnpike, commencing at Dry Run, and at a point where the 

 turnpike crosses it. Coming west on the first bottom of the creek, and 

 but a few yards distant from it, on the north side of the turnpike, is a 

 mound. Its present height is eight feet; circumference at base, 250 

 feet. It is of very regular shape (Group C, No 1), and well preserved. 



Ascending to the second plain or bottom of the river valle}', which 

 here has an elevation of thirty to forty feet above the first bottom, 

 and is formed of drift gravel extending along towards the south- 

 west for three quarters of a mile, and running back to the base of the
