Elephant Mound. A noted effigy mound, 

 4 m. 8. of Wyalusing, Grant co.. Wis., 

 first brought to public notice in 1872 

 through a pencil sketch and brief descrip- 

 tion by Jared Warner (Smithson. Rep, . 

 1872,1873). From its massive form and 

 an apparentprolongation of the nose, sui>- 

 posed to be a part of the original mound, 

 giving the tumulus a slight resemblance 

 to an elephant, the name Elephant Mound 

 was applied to it. Although frequently 

 mentioned and illustrated, the figures are 

 copies of AVarner's sketch, no reexamina- 

 tion having been made until Nov., 1884, 

 when the I3ureau of American Ethnology 

 surveyed and platted the mound; theresult 

 of this work appears in its Twelfth Report 

 (91-93, fig. 44, 1894).. The immediate 

 situation is a long rectangular depression 

 forming a cul de sac, the level of which 

 is oidy a few feet above the Mississippi 

 at high water. Although the tract had 

 been cultivated for many years, the 

 mound at the time of the survey dis- 

 tinctly showed the rounded surface, the 

 highest point being at the hip of the 

 effigy, where the height was 4 ft. The 

 measurements were: length, 140 ft; 

 width across the body and to the lower 

 end of the hind leg, 72 ft. At the time 

 of the survey no indication of an elephant- 

 like proboscis was found. After an ex- 

 amination of similar effigies it was deter- 

 mined that this mound was designed to 

 represent a bear, and that the supposed 

 nasal prolongation seen by Warner was 

 accidental, due probably to washed or 

 drifted earth. In addition to the refer- 

 ences cited, see Am. Antiq., vi, 178, 1884;
