literated by the plow. There is a spring at the foot of the hill in front 

 of the gateway. 



T!fos. 12 and 13 are .stone mounds about 2 feet in height and 100 feet 

 in circumference. From No. 12 were taken a great many human remains, 

 and from No. 13 a skeleton, a stone ax, and a slate-stone plate per- 

 forated with one hole. 



No. 14 was another mound, which is now entirely obliterated. 



No. 15 is a circular earthwork, with a ditch on the inside. The em- 

 bankment, which is about 3 feet in height and 5 feet wide, is situated on 

 a high bluff off the Miami River, and can be distinctly traced. 



No, 16 was another circular earthwork, and there are at present no 

 traces of it, for the Dayton and Michigan Eailroad runs over the spot 

 where it was. It was about 300 feet in circumference, with a ditch on 

 the inside. There is a spring on the west of the work, about half way 

 down the bluff, which never fails. 



No. 17 is another stone mound 150 feet in circumference and is now 

 2 feet high, but formerly was much higher. The former owner has 

 removed a great deal of the material of this mound for the purpose of 

 burning lime. There are a great many human remains beneath this 

 mound. 



No. 18 is a large mound, covering nearly an acre of ground, and 

 at present is 21 feet. high. There is a house built on this mound, the 

 owner of which informed the writer, that in digging the cellar he en- 

 countered ashes, charcoal, and remains of burnt bones. This mound 

 cannot be thoroughly examined, on account of the house, which stands 

 in the center of the mound. The map is marked with crosses where 

 human remains are found ; also the village sites. 



There are remains of works in other townshi^js. 



In Concord there is a mound 155 feet in circumference and 5 feet 

 high, truncated. In Newton Township there is a one half circular 

 work, 700 feet in circumference, 240 feet in length, and 6 feet high. 

 There is a ditch on the inside and outside, sloping towards the 

 ravines, where the embankment ends. The wall of earth faces the 

 west. Also one circular work 300 feet in circumference. These two 

 works are located on the west bank of the Stillwater Eiver, on Sec- 

 tion 19, Newton Township, Miami County, Ohio, and are covered with 

 timber. They are situated on a bluff 60 feet above the river. There is 

 a ravine running from the southwest and another from the northwest, 

 and in the fork between these ravines the largest of the works is located.
