So, whilesome of the men began at the east end, ex-cavating to the original base, then workingwest and throwing the dirt behind, otherswere taken to points where dark or softearth was in evidence. Dr. Cresson andMr. Ralston stayed with the men at theeast, while I directed the movements ofthose detailed to remove such burials as197, 203, 206, 207, 20S, 209, 210, 211, etc. In order to provide against any accidentfrom rain, I had the flies removed from ourtents and carried to the mound. We werethus prepared at a moments notice to pro-tect the finds.

Fortunately no rain in digging the Effigy we wereseveral times stopped by storms, and foundour tents afforded sufficient protection toenable us to remove exposed finds. In engraving the ground plan, three mis-takes have been made, which I desire tocorrect. Numbers 231 and 232 on thesouth side should be 201 and 202; 229 on thewest side should be 219, and 226 on thenorth should be 226 A. THE ANTIQUARIAN. 2ui.
