XXVI ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 
Another undertaking, which had been begun during the last 
month of the preceding year, was a survey of several inclo- 
sures and other ancient remains of Ohio, to test the accuracy 
of the surveys by Squier and Davis and others. This was 
continued during a portion of the year. <A third item con- 
sisted in completing the list of mound localities to be used 
in preparing the maps. 
On July 15 Messrs. Middleton and Fowke went to Ohio, 
where they were engaged about one month in surveying the 
ancient works of that region. During the same time Mr. Rey- 
nolds was employed in the same State in collecting data for 
the archeologic maps. - From Ohio Mr. Fowke went to Mich- 
igan, making the tour of the lake border of the United States 
from Detroit westward to Duluth, at the head of Lake Superior. 
He made careful examinations of ancient works and aborig- 
inal remains, especially at the following-named points: De- 
troit, Port Huron, Saginaw, Ogemaw County, about Traverse 
Bay, Beaver Island, Mackinac Island, and the mainland on 
both sides, Sault Ste. Marie, Marquette, Munissing, the copper 
region, Ontonagon, Ashland, Bayfield, La Pointe (the old Cha- 
quamagon), and Duluth. Returning by way of Prairie du 
Chien, Wis., and Davenport, lowa, he stopped at Carbondale, 
Ill., the point selected as headquarters for the season. After 
writing a preliminary report of his trip he went to Kentucky 
to examine certain works in the northern part of that State, 
and thence to Washington. During May and June, 1888, he 
was engaged in exploring mounds in Pike County, Ohio. 
From Ohio, Mr. Middleton went to Wisconsin to survey 
certain groups of works in the southern and southwestern part 
of that State, which occupied him until autumn. Most of the 
winter he was engaged in working up the plats and other re- 
sults of his surveys. Before spring he made a survey of cer- 
tain groups in southeastern Missouri and of the Seltzertown 
group in Mississippi. During April, May, and June, he was 
engaged in surveying and examining groups in southern Ohio 
and northern Kentucky. 
Mr. Reynolds, after leaving Ohio, was engaged during the 
remainder of the summer, and until he went to Carbondale,
