MOtTNDS ON SECTION 35, T. 8 N., R. C W. 



About a mile southward of Hazen Corners on the Blake river road 



is a group of foiu- 

 bird-shaped and 

 one long mound 

 situated on the 

 NE. of sec. 25, T. 8 

 N., E. 6 W., at the 

 cross roads. The 

 effigy mounds are 

 west of the road 

 and the long one 

 is east of it. They 

 are all situated on 

 the northern slope 

 of the ridge not far 

 from the top; the 

 heads of the effigy 

 mounds are, as 

 usual, to the south 

 and up the hill. 



Three of these ef- 

 figies are of about 

 the same form, the 

 only difference be- 

 tween Ko. 3 and 

 the others being in 

 the shape of the 

 wings, which 

 stretch nearly at 

 right angles with 

 the body instead 

 of curving like the 

 others. Their 

 bodies are shorter 

 than those at Hazen Corners; otherwise there is but little difference.
