No. 15. Portion of a small oval-shaped bell, made of a deep yellow bronze 

 or bell-metal, hard and brittle. The surface was rough, but not much corroded. 

 Specific gravity, 8-094. 



No. 16. Fragment of a small square bell ; the metal about as hard as No. 15, 

 nearly of the same colour also, but not so brittle. It was more corroded, and 

 did not seem so good a material for the pui-pose. Specific gravity, 7-708. 



These specimens, being carefully analyzed, gave the results contained in the 

 following Tables. 



(In each case a minute qualitative analysis was first made, and the absence 

 of other metals than those afterwards estimated in quantity ascertained).
