No. 9, 10, represents the Turkey Buzzard. 
No. 10, B, is an unfinished pipe. No. 19, 23, also appears to 
be unfinished. 
No. II, 23, is a fragment of a pipe which represents a bird 
of prey, either an Eagle or a Hawk. 
C 38. 
Nos. I to 14 are stone smoking-pipes. 
Nos. I, |@, and 2, IS, represent eagles or hawks each tearing a 
small bird to pieces. The zigzag markings already noticed may 
be seen on both these hawks. No. 3, 28, has the bowl in the 
form of a small rodent, placed in a very graceful attitude. 
The pearl eyes of this specimen remain in the sockets, but in a 
calcined state. No. 4, 23, represents the squirrel; No 5, JB, the 
beaver. Three figures of the beaver have been obtained from 
the mounds, all in the characteristic attitudes of that animal ; 
the large head, blunt snout, small eyes and ears, and broad oval 
scaly tail, are all faithfully represented. No. 6, J@, represents 
the head of the elk. This is one of the least faithful of the 
mound sculptures. 
Nos. 8, 23, 13, 59, and 14,28, represent the Lamantin, Manatee, 
or Sea-Cow. This animal is found in tropical regions. Seven 
sculptured figures of the Lamantin have been obtained from the 
mounds, of which three are nearly perfect. The external 
features of the animal are faithfully and minutely exhibited in 
the sculptures. There is the truncated head, small and scarcely 
distinguishable eyes, thick semi-circular snout, peculiar nostrils, 
tumid furrowed upper lip, singular fins, and remarkable mous- 
taches ; and yet these figures represent animals not met with 
on the spot, but found a thousand miles distant, upon the shores 
of Florida, and even there only in small numbers. The minute 
details are given with too much accuracy to allow us to believe 
that these pipes were made by any people who were not well 
acquainted with the animal and its habits. 
In one particular, however, the sculptors of the mound-period 
committed an error. Although the Lamantin is strictly herbi- 
vorous, feeding chiefly upon sub-aqueous plants and littoral 
herbs ; yet one of the stone smoking-pipes represents this 
animal with a fish in its mouth. 
No. 9, 28, is perhaps intended for the walrus. The figure in 
this instance, and this instance only, is represented seated
