the home of the late Henry Clements,
| some men were at work in a gravel bank,
| and when about three feet below the sur
| face they came upon the skeletons of twelve
human beings, buried in a row and all
facing towards the Southwest. The skele-
tons were in perfect state of preservation,
| and from their positions seemed to have
been buried in a horizontal position, with
the head elevated and inclined forward.

Indians, yet one well-preserved skull with
an entire set of teeth, evidently those of an
adult, yet as small as those of a child,
strongly suggests that they might have be-
longed to a race of pygmies. The skulls
were very thick, and are well developed
behind. The remains of implements and
pottery were also found, among which
were the remains of several vases. One
vase in perfect state of preservation was
found. The vase is of rudely constructed
pottery. 1t would hold gallon. 1t con.
