shoulder and hip positions. They then filled in the intervening 

 portions of the mound with carefully placed, though quite different 

 strata from those of these two conical sections, which contained 

 the burials. It should be observed that these conicals were directly 

 in line with a third conical, No. 8, which rested on the nose of this 

 animal form and which may very likely have formed part of the 

 animal. This further substantiates our theory that conicals were 

 sometimes used to outline mounds of animal forms. Thus, above 

 this half or imperfect intaglio, as it may be called, the perfect 

 cameo was reared partly by the means of conicals and partly by a 

 fill-in of the rest of the animal form. 



MOUNDS Nos. 10 AND 11 



Mounds Nos. 10 and 11 were two low, rectangular mounds lying 

 directly north of the "rabbit" mound, No. 9. No. 10 was located 

 near the fore foot and No. 11 near the hind foot of this effigy. 

 Whether there was any significance in this arrangement, was not 

 definitely determined. 



Both mounds were very low, rising only about a foot above the 

 surface of the surrounding ground. No. 11 had been considerably 

 ploughed down, but No. 10 was in the edge of the woods, and un- 

 disturbed. 



The stratification of No. 10 only was taken. This was found 

 to be simple, with artificial strata of loam and dark yellow sand 

 resting on a red sandy clay base. This arrangement closely resem- 

 bled that of the unfinished line of mounds, (No. 21-26) nearby in 

 the woods. 



It is probable, therefore, that these two rectangular mounds 

 were associated with the unfinished conicals, and that their proxim- 

 ity to the elaborate "rabbit" mound was an accident due to the 

 later building of the rabbit. 



MOUND No. 12 



This mound, shown in fig. 12, was a conical-ended linear situated 

 directly east of the "rabbit" mound, No. 9, and in line with it. Like 

 the rabbit it bore E 2° S. It was 118 feet long, taken as a whole. 

 The conical on the western end of the mound had a diameter of 

 25 feet and the conical on the eastern end a diameter of 28 feet.
