A small collection of ancient relics, obtained from caves in the
vicinity of Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, was presented to the Bureau by
Mr. Francis Klett.
With this collection were a number of articles of stone, some of which
were probably obtained from the fields of the same region.

same place is shown in Fig. 173.
