al lesson to be learned is that
rude people, whether Indians, Mound Builders, or Celts, resorted
to about the same method of defense."

as to give the impression that he was convinced of the
genuineness of his account.

was a walled town, it ought to throw some light on the
inclosures in the Ohio Valley.

Mr. Henshaw has very fully discussed these mound-pipes, and

"are no representations of birds or animals not indigenous to
the Mississippi Valley."

Altar-mounds in the Little Miami Valley, have brought to light
many interesting and important sculptures in stone and
terra-cotta, which, as works of art, are in some respects
superior to those from the Scioto Valley, but as they have not
yet been figured, we can only refer to them here in this brief
note.
