CERTAIN MOUNDS OF ARKANSAS AND OF MISSISSIPPI. 557 
Tur TorrEc MOUNDS, Lonoke COUNTY. 
These mounds, near Toltec station, on the railroad, about sixteen miles below 
the city of Little Rock, are described as the Knapp Mounds in the Twelfth Annual 
Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology," as doubtless they were called at the 
time of the publication of the Report. 
The mounds were visited by us, but investigation was not deemed advisable, 
as there seemed to be no history of the discovery of artifacts in the vicinity. 
LITTLE Rock. 
In the State-house at Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas, we examined a 
small case of earthenware vessels said to have been found in the neighborhood of 
the city. 
One of these vessels, of the “ teapot” variety, bears a human face оп one side, 
well modeled in relief, and is one of the most interesting vessels from Arkansas 
that we have seen. 
Since our return, we have tried without success, to obtain from the officials at 
the State-house a photograph of this vessel for reproduction.
