a fiue maple grove, on Mr. Asbury Henson's farm. Tbe height is 11 

 feet, and the base diameter 57 feet. This mound, like No. 30. has a pit 

 sunk in the center. Fifty yards to the northwest of the mound is a 

 large circular pit, from which, no doubt, the material used in the con- 

 struction was taken. On the mound are three large maple trees, and 

 on mound 31 are two maple and a beech tree. The material is compact 

 clay. 



Number 33 is in Sec. 25, T. 11 N., R. 2 W., in the southeast corner of 

 the northwest quarter section, in CJuion County, northwest of Eoseburgh 

 500 yards. It stands on the east side of Hannah's Creek, about 400 

 yards distant, and on second terrace formation, on Mr. Hayworth's farm. 

 This mound is 15 feet high, with a base diameter of C5 feet, and is con- 

 sidered the largest mound in Union County. Kiding over it with a 

 horse or pounding on the apex produces a hollow sound. The supposi- 

 tion among the villagers is that it is not solid. No doubt this is a sepul- 

 chral mound. 



Number 34 is in Sec. 3, T. 10 N., 11. 2 W., about midway, near the east 

 section line of the northeast quarter section, on the east side of Han- 

 nah's Creek, and on the highest terrace formation. It is located on Mr. 

 Andy Sutton's farm, northwest of Santaannahsburg a little over a 

 half mile, and on the west side of the road that runs from the burg 

 across to Hannah's Creek, and 300 yards a little northwest of Mr. Sut- 

 ton's residence. This mound is 14J feet in height, with base diameter 

 of 60 feet, unexplored. 



Number 35 is in Sec. 33, T. 11 N., E. 2 W., in the southeast corner of 

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

 river, 40 rods from the east section line, and 75 or 80 yards from the 

 south quarter-section line. It is on the north side of the road and about 

 150 yards north of Mrs. Hughes's residence, on Mr. Jas. Wilson's farm. 

 The height is 4 feet, base diameter 38 feet ; the material is brick clay. 



Number 36 is in Sec. 34, T. 11 N., E. 2 W., on the line that divides the 

 northwest and southwest quarters, and 60 yards from the west section 

 line, on Mr. Israel Martin's farm. It stands on the highest terrace for- 

 mation of the river, east of Mrs. Hughes's residence about 100 yards. 

 The height is 4| feet, and the base diameter 38 feet. This mound has 

 been trenched from the west side to the center, and Mr. Geo. Hughes, 

 who lives in close proximity, states that there have been taken from this 

 mound several nice copper and striped slate ornaments, and human 

 remains, in a very good state of preservation. Like a great many 

 others who destroy these ancient tumuli, however, merely to satisfy a 

 morbid curiosity, placing no value upon these old and partly decomposed 

 bones, "he threw aside" that which the student as well as the scien- 

 tist value as highly as the relics found with them. Thus it is, in every 

 c()muiuuity, a class of people exist, to place hinderauces in the way 

 of investigators. 



Number 37 is in Sec. 34, T. 11 N., E. 2 W., about half way between
