within being tramped down, would be lower than that outside, and, 

 when it rained, the water would run within the wigwam and make a 

 wet and disagreeable floor. Their conceptions were acute to all the 

 comforts of life, for we see in all their work comfort and protection so 

 far as it was in their power to secure and apply that which surrounded 

 them. 



i^umber 12 is in Sec. 33, T. 10 N., R. 2 W., on the east side of the 

 river, midway between the west and east quarter-section lines of the 

 southeast quarter, and near the north line of the same quarter. This 

 is the noted Glidewell mound,* which is not only a fortified mound, but 

 was also used for burial purposes. No doubt it has also been used as 

 an observatory or signal mound, from the fact that from the top there 

 is a grand view of the valley and uplands of Wolf Creek. Looking 

 south and southwest, west, and north, can be distinguished mounds 2, 

 3, 4, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 25, 20, 27, 28, 29, 49, 50, 41, 42 ; workshops 

 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 63; cemeteries 64, 65; camping grounds 70, 73, 75; 

 stone graves 54, 55. A fire burning upon this mound could plainly be 

 seen at all these points, and i)erhaps at others were it not for the inter- 

 vention of a heavy forest that has grown up since these mounds were 

 constructed. They are all in a line with this mound, and a few of them 

 can be located from the Templeton Fortified Mound No. 2 ; j)erhaps all 

 €ould be were it not for the same intervention. 



Number 13 is in Sec. 33, T. 10 N., R. 2 W., midway between the east 

 and west quarter-section lines of the northwest quarter and 40 rods from 

 the north line, on the west side of the river. It occupies a very promi- 

 nent ridge that projects out to a small creek on the north side that 

 empties into the river on Mr. Alex. Johnston's farm and second terrace 

 formation. This mound is 8 feet high with a base diameter of 40 feet. 

 On top of this structure is a very large maple tree. From this summit, 

 and only thence, are to be seen mounds 51, 52. 



Number 14 is in Sec. 32, T. 10 N., R. 2 W., in the northeast corner of 

 the northeast quarter of the section, on the highest terrace formation, also 

 on Mr. Johnston's farm, better known as the Hall farm. This mound is 

 5^ feet high, with a base diameter of 46 feet. The composition is com- 

 pact clay. 



Number 15 is in Sec. 5, T. 9 N., R. 2 W., midway between the north 

 and south quarter-section lines of the northwest quarter of the section, 

 and 6 rods from the west line, on the highest terrace formation, on the 

 west side of Berris's Creek, on Mr. Chas- Conrad's farm, and in plain 

 view of the Glidwell mound No. 12. This mound is 4 feet high, with 

 a base diameter of 35 feet and composed of compact clay. 



Number 16 is in Sec. 32, T. 10 N., R. 2 W., near the corner of the south- 

 west quarter, in the highest terrace formation, north of Wolf Greek and 



*Thi8 mound is fully described in the preceding article, with drawings, giving 

 vertical and horizontal sections, and showing position of skeletons exhumed, &c.
