inent. The irregularity in the dimensions here is greater than 

 in any of the others, unless it be the temple. The best meas- 

 urements which could be determined were, in length, forty- 

 seven feet, and in width, thirty- two feet at the west wall and 

 thirty-seven at the east wall. But this difference could easily 

 be accounted for here by the scattered condition of the stones. 



No. 8 is small, measuring but 7x6. A number of frag- 

 ments of skull and rib bones were taken from here at a depth 

 of a foot and one-half or less. 



No. 9 show^s the stone outline indistinctly and has but slight 

 elevation above the surrounding surface. No remains were 

 taken from this one. 



No. 10, referred to as the temple, somewhat irregular in its 

 dimensions, measuring approximately 60 x 20, is the single ex- 

 ception of the entire group in not facing the cardinal points ; 

 but instead it stands with its length due southwest and north- 

 east, facing the butte before mentioned, and with indications 

 of an opening in the center of the wall nearest it. A skull was 

 found here, and fragments of the materials before mentioned. 



No. 11 has yielded no remains of especial importance. It is 

 37 x 28, with the mound prominent but the stone outline 

 rather indistinct. 



No. 12 is a circular mound ten feet in diameter. From here 

 a number of fragments of bones, pottery and flint chips were 

 taken; and with these was found a smoothed stone of granite
