406 General Notes. [ May, 
the close of the number, pages 722-738, will be found the funeral

mounds. Two forms are mentioned, the circular tumuli, 
apparently for persons of inferior rank, and the double tumuli, 
from one of which was obtained a large collection of pottery, 
iron weapons, articles of bronze and blue glass beads. These 
twin mounds Futa-go yama, lie east and west, the west end being
