No. 6. Different in form from the

Garden_, and consists of three stages,
all of equal length, and of the same
parallelogramic form: the superior
stage, like the five succeeding mounds,
is bounded on the east by the edge of
the second bank of the river: the second
and third stages are in succession on
the declivity of the bank, each being
horizontal; and are connected with each
other, and with the first, by an
abruptly oblique descent.
