The other ornaments found in the grave were a necklace of shell beads made from the columella of some ocean shell, and numbered twenty-three well made beads. The necklace is shown in Fig. 32.

In the left hand of the skeleton was placed an ornament made of the anterior part of the lower jaw of the gray wolf. The cut jaw is shown in Fig. 32. When in use as an ornament no doubt the two halves of the jaw were together.

RESUME.

The examination of the Hazlett Mound has established the fact that the Hopewell culture in Ohio constructed the mound, and proves beyond doubt that this culture resorted to Flint Ridge for the raw material for the manufacture of many of their artifacts and further that they had established themselves upon the ridge and in close proximity to the good flint quarries. No evidence is forthcoming as to the length of time the site was used. It may have been the refuge of the Hopewell culture from time to time as they would come to the Ridge for their supplies of the raw material. I fully expected to find some evidence that this building covered by the mound was used as a storehouse for blades and cores, for here a formidable defense could have been staged, behind stone walls of unusual size and height, against great odds if it became necessary to do so.

I do not feel that this fortified site, one and one-half miles from the great central quarries, was intended to guard any part of the quarries. I do feel certain, however, that such a fortified place so near to the source of supply served to guard the raw material after it had been manufactured into blades and cores, but no evidence that it was used for this purpose was found.

GEORGE FREDERICK WRIGHT.

IN MEMORIAM.

In the fullness of years and bearing the honors of a life devoted to science and the service of his fellow men, Doctor George Frederick Wright, President Emeritus of the Ohio State Archæological and Historical Society, passed to his final reward April 20, 1921. While he had been failing in strength for a few months past he was able to continue his work almost to the day of his death and was cheerfully looking forward to a return to health and planning further contributions in his chosen field of interest and research. In a letter addressed to the Secretary of the Society under date of April 11, 1921, he wrote:

"I was very glad to receive your letter and learn that you were going to put Dr. Wilson's article in the April number of the QUARTERLY.

"It is true that I have been under the weather for four weeks * *, but I have not been incapacitated for office work any of the time, and hope soon to be out and around as usual."

The reference in this letter is to the article which appears in this issue of the QUARTERLY, on the serpent worship and monuments of India and the serpent mounds of Ohio a subject on which Dr. Wright had thought much and to which he referred at the last annual meeting of the Society. It is worthy of note in this connection that at the first annual meeting of the Society in 1886 Dr. Wright read a paper on "The Relation

of the Glacial Period to Archæology in Ohio;" that he had since been an active member, contributing frequently to the QUARTERLY, serving on different commit

tees, on the Board of Trustees, and as President from 1907-1909, when at his own request he was relieved. He was elected President Emeritus, in which position he served till the time of his death. His last contribution,

which is introductory to the article by Dr. Wilson, bears date of March 31, 1921, and appears elsewhere in this issue.

His associates will bear testimony to his never failing interest and keen enjoyment in the work of the Ohio State Archæological and Historical Society, which he so signally honored for thirty-five years. The evident pleasure that he found in the annual meeting of last December will be recalled by all who met him on that occasion.

Dr. Wright was a scholar of national and international reputation and a student through life. A biographer in a recent survey of his literary work has said:

"Wright's output was prodigious. His books number sixteen volumes and upwards of 5.750 pages. He edited thirtyeight volumes of Bibliotheca Sacra and fourteen volumes of Records of the Past (each involving labors like unto the production of a book of his own). His published magazine articles listed from 1873 to 1916 number 524; and from 1913 (age 75) on, he averaged an article a month, a pace which he maintained almost to the end."

Those who for many years were intimately associated with him in his varied service have paid just and fitting tribute to his worth and eminence as minister of the gospel, scientist, teacher, author and citizen. In every relation of life he was faithful to his ideals and his conception of duty. Judged by these high standards he was singularly fortunate and successful.

Dr. Wright was twice married, first on August 28, 1862 to Hulda Marie Day, whose death occurred in 1899. He was united in marriage with Florence Eleanor Bedford, who survives him, in September, 1904. He had four children, all living and all graduates of
