the M,nn,l Kuilders.The twelfth -Annual 

 Report of the United States Bureau ..f Kthnol- 

 ogy " contains a summary of the results of ten 

 years* explorations of the moonds, carried on by 

 the bureau under the immediate direction of 

 I>r. Cyrus Thomas. I Miring this time un.ro 

 m-Mind* were explored between the 

 <>hio valley and the Rocky mountains, and 

 fr-.m t I to Florida. Particular 



.is paid to the m<id.- ..f conslructic.n and 

 methods Of boritJ in the conical tumuli. Many 

 it graves and cemeteries and several 

 caches and cave deposits were explored. As a 

 h m..und was measured before it was 

 excavated, and figured if it presented any pecul- 

 iarity of shape. The character and thi-'kiM-s 

 of the strata and the exact position of the 

 n* and relics found were m.ted. Aliout 

 40,000 objects were collected and catalogued, 

 and were deposited in the National Museum. 

 They include articles of pottery, an u: 

 nmnlMT of poli-he<l and pecked celts, pipes, tex- 

 tile fabrics and matting, and tome implements 

 used in weaving. The genoral conclusions are 

 reached l.y Ir. Thomas that the links directly 

 connecting the Indians and mound Imildera are 

 *> numorous and well established that archasol- 

 ogists are justified in accepting the theory that 

 they are one and the same people. The evi- 

 dence obtained appears to be sufficient to just ify 

 the conclusion that particular works and the 

 works of certain localities are attributable to 

 Iartirular tribes known to history, thereby en- 

 abling tho archaeologist to determine in some 

 cases, to a limited extent, the lines of t 

 tion : as in the case of works in Tennessee, 

 western North Carolina, the Kanawha valley, 

 and Ohio, attributed to the Cherokee*; the box- 

 shaped stone, graves and the mounds and other 

 works directly connected with them in the re- 

 gion south of the Ohio and near Cincinnati, at- 

 tributed to the Shawnees ; stone graves in the 

 valley of the Delaware and others in Ohio of
