Case 1 .— Beginning at the west we have, in the middle line, a 
group of three Indians, executed in plaster and elaborated with 
much detail. They are represented as engaged in the work of 
quarrying bowlders and roughing out stone implements from them. 
Associated with this group are five cases illustrating the ancient 
flint, copper, soapstone and red pipestone quarries of the United 
States. 
Case 2.- Aset of plaster casts representing the various types 
of stone implements found in America. This is a donation from 
the Smithsonian Institution. 
Case 3. — This remarkable exhibit consists of some 700 rough 
shaped flint disks found as a hoard or cache in a small mound on 
Hopewell farm, near Chillicothe, Ohio. The flint occurs in the 
form of irregular nodules at various points in the Ohio valley be- 
tween Cincinnati and Cairo. The disks were roughed out and 
carried long distances to be stored for trade or use. Five of the 
associated table cases contain archeologic material of exceptional 
interest, found in the mounds of the Hopewell group, explored for 
the World’s Columbian Exposition by W. K. Moorehead. Nota- 
ble among these relics and deposits are casts of copper implements 
and ornaments, the material having been obtained from the chores 
of Lake Superior; a case of obsidian implements, many of them 
broken by the heat of altar fires, the material having been derived 
from the west or south 1 ,500 to 2,500 miles away; mica from the Ap- 
palachian Mountains; and shells from the Gulf or South Atlantic 
Coast. Some of the carvings in stone and bone are unique and re- 
markable. A most striking feature of these exhibits is the great 
quantities of pearls, most of them having suffered from exposure 
to the sacrificial fires. 
No. I>. — Here we have two examples of the clay altars upon 
which the sacrifice of innumerable articles was made. 
Case 6.— This case contains a model of the serpent mound, 
Adams county, Ohio, which has recently been embodied in a park 
under the auspices of the Peabody Museum of Cambridge, Mass. 
Case 7. — Relics from Ohio mounds. 
Case 8 .— A single life-size figure in plaster, representing a 
cannibal dancer of the Kwakiutl Indians of British Columbia. 
Case O. — Relics from the cliff houses of Utah. In a number 
of table cases ranged along the west side are other remains from 
ancient Pueblan and other western sources.
