This mound Is one Of the prehistoric
monuments Of the country. Il is situ.
ated in Adams County, Ohio. 1t Is a
long sarthen embankment on the edge
of . bluff 100 feet high, and throughout
the greater part Of its course il has the
waved outline Of snake, while the tail
Is eoiled IN n spiral like watch-spring.
The head Of the serpent Is represented
with wide-open mouth. and In front Of II
i an oval hguIe about ninety feet long,
apparently resting on the distended jaws,
and sill beyond there isan object which
has been supposed to resemble 3 jumping
frog. The length Of the serpent is about
/. 500 feet: measurements Of il vary
considerably because Of the difficulty Of
following the center Of the cnrying out
line. There was once quite y heavy
growth Of timber on this mound, but il
vas blown down by u tornado in 1859.
The embankment, constituting tbs ser
pent, is upward Of . feet high by 30 feet
broad 1t the center Of the body, dimin.
ishing somewhat toward the head and
tail. The smbankment forming the oval
is about 4 feet high. This curious figure
has been supposed by some TO represent
the original cosnolOg.oalidea OF the ser.
pent aud the egg. Some have supposed
that this mound was erected 70 CONNIE.
