During the course of field-work in the summer of 1942 two specimens unusual enough to warrant special notice have been located in private collections.
About 1900 a small mound was opened on the Marion West farm near Saxon, Meigs County, Ohio, along the Ohio River. Mr. West found the inscribed tablet (PI. XXXIX, lower) in this mound. The specimen was obtained shortly afterward by Mr. Richard Allen of Columbus, Ohio, in whose collection it is now preserved. This Adena tablet depicts the conventionalized bird design found on several other specimens of this type. It is particularly reminiscent of the Cincinnati and Richardson tablets. The Allen tablet is 8.9 cm. long, 1.9 cm. thick, and 5.1 cm. wide. It is slightly concavo-convex in cross section.
