 may be said to be rectangular, their length and breadth being iis stated 

 above. The direction of the longer side of the mound is N. 10° W., 

 varying only 10° from a due north and south line. At tbe south end of

 the mound is composed was originally excavated. A well has been at

Starting from the middle of the western side of the base of the pyra- 

 mid and running S, 81° W. 14 chains, we arrive at a conical mound, 

 which I have denominated No. 2. The circumference of this mound is 

 216J feet; the diameter 72 feet; the sloping side 43^ feet; the height of 

 axis of cone 24 feet. From the west side of mound No. 2, running S. 

 8G° W. 23 chains, we come to mound No. 3, which has a diameter and 

 a height nearly the same as those of No. 2. At a distance of 17 chains 

 from the western base of mound No. 2 we come to the inner wall, or 

 breastwork. Commencing at the eastern terminus of the southeru wing
