Mr. THomas was chiefly occupied during the year in the

upon the mounds. He also prepared a bulletin on the Cireu- 
lar, Square, and Octagonal Karthworks of Ohio, with a view 
of giving a summary of the recent survey by the mound divi- 
sion of the principal works of the above character in southern 
Ohie. A second bulletin was completed, entitled ‘The Prob- 
lem of the Ohio Mounds,” in which he presented evidence to 
show that the ancient works of the state are due to Indians of 
several different tribes, and that some, at least, of the typical 
works were built by the ancestors of the modern Cherokees.

occurrence. He also assisted Mr. Thomas in the preparation
