Suchholes, filled with decayed wood, ashes, etc., have been found in many of the largemounds of the Scioto Valley. In this con-nection, I desire to suggest that ceremonies, as to whose nature we are unaware, wereconducted upon the burnt floor under thistemporary structure. After they wereconcluded, the burials were made and thestructure covered with earth. A peculiarity was observed by both Dr.Wilson and Dr. Cresson. Gravel and clayintermixed seemed to have been subjectedto a heat sufficiently intense to form a ce-ment of equal toughness to that of an or-dinary cellar door. They thought, and Iagree with them, that the oblong mound;iv constructed at two periods and thatwhen first completed, its altitude did notexceed in feet.

The upper part of the moundis clay. Then came a layer of boulders, then an irregular layer of clayey sand, thendark loam, and, upon the base line, the darkstreak or deposit referred to, which variedfrom 1-4 of an inch to 2 feet in thick-ness.

Numbers 197 to 200, inclusive, werefound near together upon the base line. Alarge shell and copper ornaments werefound with No. 109.
