BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE EARTHWORKS OF

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE EARTHWORKS OF

OHIO.

 

PREPARED BY MRS. CYRUS THOMAS FOR THE SMITHSONIAN

INSTITUTION.

[ Continued from page 78.]

ANY observers in the State who have facts concerning the

earthworks of Ohio, in addition to those here stated, will

confer a favor upon the world by forwarding such informa-

tion to Professor G. F. Wright, Oberlin, 0., the member of the

Editorial Committee in charge of this department, by whom

the facts will be classified and published in future numbers,

making the QUARTERLY by far the completest depository of

such information.

In locating ancient remains it is desirable to note the fol-

lowing points:

The character of the works-whether mounds, stone

graves, burial places, enclosures, walls, caches, etc.

Whether explored or not, and if explored whether relics

were found, the kind of relics, and where such relics have

been deposited, if known.

The exact locality, as near as can be determined, in town-

ship, county, and State, and whether near a town or stream

of any note.

Whether any notice or description has been published, and

in what book, paper or magazine such notice may be found.

In all cases where antiquities have existed, but are now

obliterated, they should be included in the list, and mention

made of their having been destroyed.
