Bronze series. 



The poition of this series now exhibited will probably be still further i-educed, 

 in order that the stone series may be extended. Among the bronze ol>jects dis- 

 played is a good collection of the so-called " celts" from America, Ireland, France, 

 and England, including the neighborhood of Salisbury. The specimens pre- 

 sented by the Viscount Folkestone, Mr. Benson, and Mr. Clench, to the Salisbury 

 and South Wilts Museum, have been kindly lent }>y the committee of that museum, 

 and are exhibited, as are also some interesting bronze daggers and other objects 

 obtained by Mr. E. Dyke Poor, from a tmnulus at Abliiigton, W^ilts, and some 

 bronze armillse and a bronze tonpie, found in a tumulus at Lake by the late Rev. 

 E. Duke, and presented'to the Salisbury and South Wilts Museum by his son, 

 the liev. E. Duke, of Lake House. 



Iron series. 



The use of iron for anning weapons will, from want of space, bo merely rep- 

 resented in the collection. 



A few local specimens of tho Anglo-Saxon period are exhibited. Some of 

 these were presented by tho late Mr. Swayne, of Bishopstone, and liy Mr. F. 

 Sidford, of the same place. The Salisbury and South Wilts Museunr kindly
