Bottom of Mound: 



Mixed white and yellow sand 17.78 



White sand 16.98 



Red sand 16.38 



Mound No. 17 contained a fireplace, 5 feet in diameter, and three 

 artificial strata, as follows : 



Surface 20.68 



Loam 20.38 



Fireplace 19.58 



Gray mottled sand 19.18 



Red sand 18.38 



Bottom of Mound : 

 Golden sand 17.48 



The red sand in No. 17 thinned out about 3 feet east of the center 

 of the mound, as though the builders had run out of this material. 

 The golden sand appeared to mark the bottom of the artificial 

 strata. In this fire stratum a few partly burned animal bones were 

 encountered. Otherwise no eidence was found which would show 

 the uses of these three mounds. 



MOUND No. 18 



This mound was probably originally of panther shape. The body 

 position of the mound is now occupied by the cellar of an old house 

 site, so that the outlines are barely discernible. They are indi- 

 cated in the plat of the group, fig. 1, by dotted lines. The tail runs 

 off through the woods, bearing E 14° 45' N. 



The approximate length of the mound is 205 feet. The width 

 of the tail is 14 feet, and the estimated maximum width of the body, 

 35 feet. The tail of the mound rises only 1.25 feet above the sur- 

 rounding surface of the ground, or 20.18 feet above mean lake level. 



When the above mentioned cellar was dug some forty years ago, 

 it is said that a skeleton was found in the body of the mound. No 

 further information could be obtained. The mound was not 

 trenched, so the stratification is unknown.
