skeletons which could be recovered were the crania, and they badly de- 

 cayed. In fact only one was removed in such a condition that it could 

 be put together, and that one is deposited in the museum of the Brook- 

 ville Natural Historical Societj*. The prominent features of that are an 

 exceedingly narrow forehead, receding, with an extremely broad occiput, 

 zygomatic arch large and j)rorainent, inferior maxillary large and massive. 



I find the chiiracteristics mentioned by Mr. Gilluian {Smiihsonian Re- 

 port^ 1875) in about four-fifths of the humeri and tibias removed from 

 this mound, but in the several parts of the sknll no perforation as spoken 

 of by the above-named gentleman. 



The dotted lines show that part of the mound that has been removed. 

 All that outside of these lines has been reserved for future investiga- 

 tions. 



REMAINS ON WHITE WATER RIVER, INDIANA. 

 By George W. Homsher, M. D., of Fairfield^ Ind. 



The mounds, workshops, cemeteries, block-houses and camping grounds 

 herein described are located on the East Fork of White Water River, 

 in a portion of Biookville, Springfield, Bath, and Blooming Grove Town- 

 ships, and in all parts of Fairfield Township, Franklin County, Indiana; 

 in all of Harmony, with a portion of Center and Liberty Townships, in 

 Union County ; and also, in portion of Jackson and Jennings TownshijiS, 

 of Fayette County. 



The East Fork of White Water River is a beautiful stream, whose head 

 •waters originate in the northeast i)art of Wayne County, Indiana, flow- 

 ing in a southern direction through Wayne, Union, and Franklin Coun- 

 ties, to a point near the center of Brookville Township, just south of 

 the town of Brookville, where it joins the West Fork. These united 

 form the White Water which runs in a south and east course across the 

 southern part of the township until it crosses the southern boundary 

 line near the southeast corner, thence south and west until it empties into 

 the Ohio River near Lawreuceburg. Both branches and their tribu- 

 taries are noted for the richness of the soil, as well as for the great num- 

 ber of mounds, workshops, cemeteries, »S:c., that are distributed upon 

 their upper and lower terraces from their sources to their mouths. In 

 touching upon the location of the sti uctures, «&;c., reference will be made 

 to the towusnips and sections. And in this report the range, as well as 

 the survey and description of each stiuctuie is given. Thus by the aid 

 of the map all the ancient structures myy be visited without any difli- 

 culty whatever. 



In a paper read before the Brookville Natural Historical Society, the 

 writer touched upon the mounds, workshops, cemeteries, &c., of a por- 

 tion of Brookville, Springfield, Bath, and Fairfield Townships, of Frank- 

 lin County. The society appointed a committee to prepare a complete 

 map of the county, locate each structure, and give a description thereof.
