and on the whole it resembles them considerably. Published analy- 
ses of Toluca irons give percentages varying somewhat widely, within 
which limits the Los Reyes values may certainly be included. For 
purposes of comparison of analyses, several that have been made of 
Toluca irons by different authorities are given below: .

The resemblance in chemical composition to the average of To- 
luca irons is thus seen to be close. Further, the etching figures come 
within the limits found in Toluca irons, since these vary considerably 
in detail as is well known. The meteorite will be designated, there- 
fore, as Toluca (Los Reyes). ; 
HOPEWELL MOUNDS, ROSS COUNTY, OHIO. 

MUSEUM No. Me. 480. 

Among the objects obtained from the Hopewell Mounds of . 
Ohio, and now in the Anthropological collections of this Museum, 
are a number made of iron. These include a part of a head 
and ear ornament, some celts, a number of beads, and lastly a 
small unwrought mass weighing about 130 grams (5 ounces). 
Dr. G.; (A.. Dorsey, to’ whom: IT-am indebted: for= calles 
attention to them, informs me that they were all found 
associated with a single human skeleton near an altar of one of 
the mounds. They were considerably oxidized, so that the original 
metal is in most cases obliterated, but the unwrought mass above 
mentioned was found to be oxidized only on the surface. A quali-
