 the plate should be made to correspond with this change.

 The opposite side and most of the other two are still plainly visible ; the 

 cross walls, however, disapi^ear before they reach the one next to the 

 pike. But, this portion being covered with clover and weeds, it is

 haps the lines could have been found all the way. 



At the north corner (the one toward the left side of Squier and 

 Davis's plate) the ends arc worn away, and at the south corner both walls 

 are covered with brush, so that the exact length of the northeast side conld 

 not be found. The angles at the north and east corners were obtained, 

 by taking the bearings of the three lines. These may be slightly in
