That part of Ohio river between Cairo, Illinois, where the river joins the 
Mississippi, and Evansville, Indiana, about 185 miles by water, forming the 
northern boundary of part of Kentucky, almost all the southern limit of Illinois 
and of a portion of Indiana, was carefully searched by our agents in advance of 
our investigation of it. Their report, rather discouraging, tallied with the 
result of our investigation. Sites still remaining along the river were found to 
be small and unimportant; mounds were few, considering the area gone over, 
and permission to investigate them was not always obtained, the larger ones 
being of vital importance in times of flood, and the smaller ones being regarded 
perhaps as receptacles of treasure or containing Indian relies to which an ex- 
aggerated value was attributed. RT 
Mississippi river was covered by our agents before our visit to that part 
of it, twice from Memphis, Tenn., to New Madrid, Missouri, and once between 
the latter point and Cairo, Illinois, in all a distance of 230 miles by water.
