xxi. His conclusions, distinct from those pertaining to the Ohio

mounds, were that the N. Y. earthworks were raised by the red Indians.

[1752] Cf. W. M. Taylor on a Pennsylvania mound in _Smithsonian Rept._, 1877.

[1753] A few minor references may be given. The _Smithsonian Reports_ have papers by D. Trowbridge (1863); and by F. H. Cushing on those of Orleans County (1874). W. L. Stone held them to have been built by Egyptians, who afterward went south (_Mag. Amer. Hist._, Sept., 1878, ii. 533). Cf. _Ibid._ v. 35, and S. L. Frey in the _Amer. Naturalist_, Oct., 1879. A small book, _Ancient Man in America_ (N. Y., 1880), by Frederic Larkin, takes issue with Squier, and believes the builders were not the modern Indians. He says he found in one of the N. Y. mounds, in 1854, a copper relic, with a mastodon, evidently in harness, scratched upon it! H. G. Mercer’s _Lenape Stone_ describes a “gorget stone” dug up in Buck’s County, Penn., in 1872, which shows a carving representing a fight between Indians and the hairy mammoth, which we are also asked to accept as genuine. What is recognized as an ancient burial mound of the Senecas is described at some length in G. S. Conover’s _Reasons why the State should acquire the famous burial mound of the Seneca Indians_ (1888).

Quarterly_, June, 1887, et seq.; a lesser list is in Thomson’s _Bibliog. of Ohio_, p. 385. Lists of the works are given in the _Ohio Centennial Rept._ and in MacLean’s _Moundbuilders_, pp. 230-233.
