The Ohio Serpent Mound.

The great Serpent Mound of Ohio, which has long been a subject of study and research for American archaeologists, has been given by the Corporation to the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society. The mound has been in the possession of the Peabody Museum ever since 1886, when it was purchased by private subscriptions amounting to $6,000, chiefly from citizens of Boston. The understanding was that the Museum should take charge of the mound until some local society should be able to receive it. Of late years there has been great difficulty in taking proper care of the Serpent Mound Park and it has therefore been transferred to the Ohio Archaeological and Historical Society.
