6. There is a mound located on the Pence farm, on Flatrock River, Flat- 



roclv township, two miles northeast of Clifford; explored by Dr. 

 Arwine in 189.S. Bones, ashes and arrow-points were found.

Microscopical ()R(iANi8MS Found in the LaFayette (Ind.) 



Reservoir. 



Severance Burrage. 



The reservoir of the city of LaFayette is located in a parli on Oak- 

 land Hill, the highest point of land east of tlie city. Avitli an altitude of 

 about two hundred feet above the level of the Wabash River. The reser- 

 voir itself is built up above the surrounding land level, and the survej' 

 head of the reservoir is given as two hundred and tliirty-two feet. The 

 reservoir is not quite two hundred feet S(iuare. has a depth of twenty- 

 eight feet, and a capacity of four million two hundred tliousand gallons. 

 The Avater witli Avhich this reservoir is supplied is ol>tained from tlie 

 regular city supply Avells, wnich are driven forty or more feet into the 

 bed of the AVabash River. The water from these wells is remarkably 

 pure and free from organisms. A recent l)acteriological analysis showed 

 but one germ to a cubic centimeter, and a microscopical examination was 

 a complete blank. Of course, this remarkable purity is at once lost when 

 this Avater is pumped up to tlie reservoir and exposed to the air and sun- 

 light. 



It is the purpose of this paper to give a census of the micro-organisms. 

 exclusive of the bacteria, found in this reservoir Avater, the figures being 

 obtained from tAA'enty microscopical analyses, coA'ering a period of five 

 years:
