Objects found in " Solitary Mound," near "Mound 
City."

Upon Tablets 16 to 20 are some copper armlets. Ten of 
these armlets were found in this mound ; they were placed in 
two heaps, five in each, and encircled some calcined bones — 
probably those of the arms upon which they had been worn. 
They consist of a plain rod of copper hammered out, and so bent 
that the ends approach or lap over each other. They measure 
about two inches and a half in diameter, and weigh 
four ounces each. The specimen d, on Tablet 20, shows 
that the metal was merely doubled over and hammered into 
shape. Simple rings of bent copper, the ends not united, were 
in general use with the North American tribes at, and prior to, 
the European conquest of the country.
