mound placed end to end, and parallel to the lake. Somewhat to 

 the west of these were two conicals. The bear mounds were undis- 

 turbed but very low, particularly the smaller one, and the conicals 

 had been much reduced by cultivation. While the outlines of the 

 bear mounds were fairly clear, it was difficult to determine the lim- 

 its of the conicals since they were built on a natural rise in the 

 ground, which sloped almost imperceptibly into the mounds. 



The smaller bear effigy was only 0.5 of a foot above the surface 

 level or 9.94 feet above mean lake level. It was 48 feet in length, 

 and from 16 to 20 feet wide. The legs were short and stumpy, be- 

 ing 5 feet long and 5 feet wide. In fact both of these bears closely 

 resembled in form the older bear mounds (Nos. 34-36) in the first 

 line near the lake in the main sub-group. 



The larger bear was 13.58 feet above mean lake level, and was 

 slightly higher above the surrounding land than the smaller bear. 

 It was 90 feet in length, and 28 feet wide. The front leg measured 

 7 feet in length and 10 feet in width ; the hind leg 6 feet in length 

 and 8 feet in width. 



Conical mound No. 44 was 25 feet in diameter, and stood 1.5 feet 

 above the surrounding level. The summit was 17.78 feet above 

 mean lake level. The second and larger conical, No. 45, was 40 feet 

 in diameter, and elevated 2 feet above the surrounding surface. It- 

 stood 18.5 feet above mean lake level. 



MOUNDS Nos. 46 TO 51 

 Some distance west of the creek, between the Packwaukee- 

 Montello road and the lake shore, was situated a line of six small 

 conical mounds. Their position in relation to the lake and to the 

 remaining mounds of the group is shown in the plat of the group, 

 fig. 1. These mounds were much worn down, and had been cut into 

 somewhat by the highway. 



The measurements of these mounds were as follows :
