By Rev. J. Charles Cox, LL.D., F.S.A. 



|N the last volume of the yi?z/r//rt/, pp. 228 and 230, I 

 briefly described Deepdale Cave, and tlie bones and 

 relics of man's occupation that had then been 

 disinterred. 

 Early in January, 1891, I received from Mr. M. Salt, of 

 High Street, Buxton, a box of valuable relics that had been found 

 by him in Deepdale Cave during the autumn of 1890. These I 

 have had his kind permission to briefly describe for our Society, 

 and to procure the illustration of the more important specimens 

 by Mr. Bailey. 



It is to be understood that in the following list, the articles 

 named were found by Mr. Salt, in October, 1890, two feet below 

 the surface of the present ground. Where the depth of the find, 

 or the date diff"er, it will be mentioned. In the description I 

 follow the numbering of the articles adopted by Mr. Salt before 

 the collection was submitted to me. 



I. A set of silver-plated bronze toilet accessories, intended to 

 hang at the girdle of a Roman lady. It consists of three parts, 

 all hinged so as to work separately, nail cleaner, tweezers for 

 the hair, and ear-pick. Size — length, 3^ in. ; breadth, y'^ i"- 

 It is most exceptional to find this article in perfect condition. 

 (Plate XII., Fig. 6.) 



II. Thin bronze pin for piercing the hair, with small moulded 

 head. Length, 4^ in.
