564 SOME ABORIGINAL SITES ON RED RIVER. 
by a member of our party. Оп one of the mounds are two houses, and a building 
is on the other one. Furthermore the mounds are used as sites for apiaries, and 
the bees, active at the time of our visit, were reported as likely to resent the intru- 
sion of strangers. The investigation of these mounds was not urged by us.

Москов NEAR Rep LAKE, LAFAYETTE COUNTY, ARK. 
Red Lake is a former course of Red river. About half a mile in from the 
river, on the farther side of the “ lake,” is some swamp land in the process of clear- 
ing at the time of our visit. On this property, near together, are two low mounds 
of irregularly, circular outline, which were visited by us. We could not determine 
the nature of these rises, whether aboriginal mounds or remnants of ridges partly 
washed away by water. We were unable to obtain permission to investigate at this 
place, as the property was in process of sale and no one seemed authorized to act.
