ANTHROPOLOGY. 



MOUNDS IN MOREHOUSE PARISH, LOUISIANA. 



By Benjamin H. Brodnax, of Plantersville, La. 



In reply to your circular relative to an exhaustive work on the "Archae- 

 ology of America," containing a request for "information concerning any 

 mound or other ancient remains in our parish," I annex the following : 

 I have carefully gone over all the mounds, camping places, &c, that I 

 can find in our parish, having traveled over 100 miles in so doing. There 



are only two clusters of mounds, one of them on the plantation of Dr. 

 William P. Harrison, one mile west of Oak Kidge, and the other on the 

 plantation of Mr. G. H. Johnson, in section 18, township 22 north, range 

 7 east, formerly the "Kaleigh Lassiter Place." (Diagrams I, II.)
