the valley. The interior mound approached an ellipse being 61 
by 65 feet, with an altitude of 10 feet above the lower mound, which 
was three feet high. Eight sitting skeletons formed a circle within, 
and there were fine relics. The fields around showed ancient culti- 
vation.—Cheney, p. 40, pl. 3. This plan is given in fig. 8, on a 
scale of 500 feet to the inch. 
6 In the town of Napoli, half a mile west of the Narrows, there 
- is a mound 120 feet in circumference, on a high hill, 600 feet above 
the Conewango.—Larkin, p. 16-17. On the west side a stream 
flows to the Allegheny. 
7 Mr Cheney reported two rectangular excavations on lot 49, 
Leon, now considered natural, but there were relics, hearths, and 
traces of ancient cultivation.—Cheney, p. 40 
8 In Randolph village, west of the Conewango and partly in- 
closed by it, was a bank across the level terrace, 60 rods long. 
Over 30 caches were formerly seen.—Cheney, p. 41, pl. 4. Cheney’s 
plan is given in fig. 18, on a scale of 1400 feet to one inch and he 
also mentions a mound. Dr Larkin adds notes of interest, it being 
his home. Blocks of mica and stone hearths were found, and 
thousands of relics occurred within a mile around.—Larkin, p. 10 
g A nearly circular work, a mile east of this group, is about 1000 
feet around and has four gateways each 12 feet wide. There are 
hearths and caches. It is included in the last plan.—Cheney, p. 841. 
The work is near the home of J. E. Weeden, and has an area of 
three acres.—Larkin, p. 10 
10 A circular work on Elm creek, near East Randolph, is 287 
feet wide with many caches.—Cheney, p. 40, pl. 2, no. 2. This plan 
appears in fig. 10, on a scale of 250 feet to one inch. Larkin says 
that hundreds of relics have been found. Mr Reynolds thought 
this a work of one acre, on J. N. Metcalf’s land. 
11 Two miles from the Allegheny up Cold Spring creek were two 
sepulchral mounds about 10 feet high.—Larkin, p. 27 
12 A mound in Cold Spring 500 feet west of the Allegheny river 
was 20 feet high and 200 feet around. “ Cart-loads” of bones were 
taken from it with fine copper and stone articles—Larkin, p. 22
