      The author studies monohedral plane tilings by n-ominoes (polyominoes) for \(n<10\). He defines the complexity of a tile as the smallest number of congruent copies of the tile that are needed to form a patch which tiles by translation. A computer is used to calculate the complexity of n- ominoes for small n. Also examples of the different tiling types are given.
