high, conical in form, which has never been disturbed by the plow 

 From the top to the bottom on the east side is 50 feet 5 from top to cir- 

 cumference on north side 48 feet. East of this mound (a 6), a distance 

 of 172 feetjis the circle B. The wall is almost level with the surround- 

 ing surface, although from 6 inches to 1 foot high along the line gh h 

 The remaining part of the work is difficult to trace. The gateway can- 

 not now be located, although it is said to have faced the east. Soutb 

 of the mound (c d), a distance of 175 feet, was formerly another circle ((7), 

 but no trace of it exists at the present time. 



West of the mound (e/), a distance of 540 feet, is the circle D, 150 

 feet in diameter. This work presents a wall averaging from 10 to 15 

 inches in height with a ditch in the interior. I was unable to locate 

 a gateway. 



When first discovered these works were covered with forest trees. 

 The walls averaged 5 feet in height. The material is composed of clay 

 of the same kind as that in the immediate vicinity. The mound has 

 never been opened. The spot is level, and appears to have been well 

 chosen. Following are the measurements : 



{A.) Conical mound, 8 feet high ; east to top, 50 feet ; north to top, 48 

 feet. 



{B.) Circle 172 feet east of mound. Circle 510 feet in circumference. 



{C.) Obliterated circle 175 feet south of mound. 



(D.) Circle 540 feet west of mound. Circle 150 feet diameter. 



One mile and a quarter north of these works, located on a high point 

 of ground, is a mound (Entry No. 3, Map h) removed a few rods west of 

 the Hillsboro' turnpike. The mound is conical, 14 feet in height, with 

 a circumference of 250 feet at the base. Original height, 20 feet; solid 

 contents, 2,098 cubic yards. From its summit a fine view of the country 

 may be obtained. 



On Entry Ko. 8 (see map) is a small mound (c) 3 feet in height. 



Works in Eagle TotvnsMp, Brown County, Ohio. — Eagle Township 

 (see map) is bounded on the north by Highland County (White Oak 

 and Concord Townships) ; on the east by Adams County (Winchester 

 Township) ; on the south by Jackson Townshii), and on the west by 

 Washington Township. The general surface is comparatively level, 

 although the west fork of Brush Creek has made a deep valley running 

 from west to east. Some of the tributaries of this stream have formed 

 deep ravines. Where these ravines have cut through the glacial till 

 the Hudson River blue limestone is exposed, save in one spot (see map 

 Z, entry 398), I noticed Clinton strata. 



The ancient remains located on entries 398 and 1316, in company with 

 Prof. J. W. Fertig, I measured, May 16, 1885 (see Plan 2). The mound 

 A is located on the line between Brown and Adams Counties. It is 

 located on a knoll, several of which occur in the immediate vicinity. 

 It is difficult to tell just where the base of the mound begins. If the 

 place I assumed to be the base is the correct one then the mound is 328
