In fact, such mounds are frequent all along the lake shore, and seem to be invariably of more recent origin than the first-described works. They are generally quite small', and it is observable that they are frequently situated in such places as present some features of natural beauty. At old Fort Mackinac, opposite Point La Barbe, on the south shore of the Straits of Mackinac, occur several interesting mounds, [Fig. 8,] which have never to my knowledge been thoroughly examined. Long before the European selected this point for a fort, or even the present.
