Mound No. 2, (see Figs. 3 and 4,) is a round mound 40 feet in di- 

 ameter, and sloping to the base of No. 1. The 

 line joining their centers runs east 30 degrees 

 •^-i^'V^Y south, by west 30 degrees north, and is 64 feet 



long. In opening this mound obscure alterna- 

 tions of mould and clay were pierced to a depth 

 of 8i feet. 



Two fire-i^laces were found, one at 3 feet, and 

 the other at 5 feet below surface. Dimensions 

 the same in each, 3 by 6 feet. In the lower one 

 was partially burnt bone in the ashes, i^t 6 feet 

 were found some pieces of pottery and a bundle 

 of bones, consisting of fragments of four or more 

 skeletons in a tolerably good state of preservation, 

 corresponding to heights from 5 feet 8 inches to 

 6 feet 6 inches in the living subject. Photo- 

 graphs are transmitted herewith, which give 

 forms of two crania secured. 



Mound No. 3 is a low mound about 200 yards 

 south of No. 2, on the same ridge, forming a 

 mere swell upon the surface. A.bout 2 feet below the surface, in 

 the center, occurred partially decomposed bones of a single skele- 

 ton. Below that the mould and clay of natural surface.

 found in Mound No. 2.
