They consist, as Mr. Giulianoexplains, of as many plates as there are serpents: these plates werebossed out, and rows of grooves made in each of them; then the twobossed plates were joined together and the lines of grooves filled withglobular grains; after that a gold bead was soldered to each end; intothe bead at the one extremity was then soldered a globular piece ofgold, such as we see it on the thick end of the ear-ring No. 841, whereasa gold wire was soldered to the other side to form the ear-ring. Here,therefore, we see for the first time granular work. Very simple but highly curious are the gold ear-rings Nos. 705 and706, of which about a dozen were found. They are nearly in the form ofour modern shirt studs, and are 0*3 in. long. They are, however, not 696 697 loooooooQoooooooooooo) C~oooo coo OOP o oooooooooo). Nos. 696-733.

Each half ofthese ear-rings consists of two small gold plates, of which the one has Chap.
