The Historical and Scientific Society of Manitoba published 

 several papers by the Author in description of visits among 

 the remains of the Mound Builders of the Canadian West. 

 The demand for these pamphlets has been such that they are 

 now out of print. With the authority of the Society thes_e, 

 with another related paper of the Author, are now reprinted. 

 No doubt, having been written at intervals of several years, 

 they may repeat a number of statements, but the Society de- 

 sires them to appear again as they were first printed. They 

 embrace : — 



I. Opening of a Mound at St. Andrew's, Red River, (Oct. 



1879). 



(Printed in the Author's " Manitoba," London, 1879). 



II. Excavation of Great Mound, Rainy River, (Aug. 22, 



1884). 



(Printed as " The Mound Builders." Transaction No. IS, Winnipeg, 1SS5). 



III. The Souris Country : Its Monuments, Mounds, Forts and 

 Rivers." Visited Sept. 7th, 1886, and a mound opened. 



(Printed as Translation 24, Winnipeg-, 18S7). 



Winnipeg, Feb. 9th, 1901.
