except in those places where it was removed by the finder, who thought 
he had obtained a golden prize. This is the second pin of similar form 
obtained from the mound; but the first one, which is figured in my 
previous Paper, is of much smaller size, and, when found, was broken 
into pieces. 
I obtained in addition a round knob of yellow bronze, resembling 
the head of a large nail withits stud. This, it is probable, was origin-

was also got a bronze ring for the finger, of simple form. The only 
other object which I will show is a portion of a bone comb referrible 
to a very early date. All these corroborate the view taken as to the 
probable period of the massacre; and the paucity of such objects in 
the interments shows how thoroughly the piratic plunderers stripped 
the unfortunate people of their personal ornaments and property.
