STONE-MOUND 2.

This mound, also oval, was much smaller than mound 1; its longer

diameter was eighteen meters, the shorter twelve. It was situated due

E. of 1, separated from it by a depression in the ground, ten to twelve

meters in breadth, and was made up of more or less irregular stones. It

is impossible to decide whether this mound has also been surrounded by

a series of statues, and in such a case, by which, because even those

statues which were found in the neighborhood of it, did not remain

in situ, but were overthrown, and more or less broken. The same was

also the case with the four remaining stone-mounds. Thus I shall only

briefly indicate their situations, and then return to the description

of the statues in the order that they were measured and delineated.
