By George Bailey. 



|INCE writing on this subject two years ago, Vol. XIII., 

 p. 1 08, when we promised a supplementary article, 

 a few additional specimens have been lent to us. 

 Very imperfect and battered though they most of 

 them are, we shall offer no apology for bringing them under 

 the notice of the readers of this Journal ; because the fact that 

 engravings of them are given on the accompanying plates may 

 be the means of fully deciphering them eventually, or they will, 

 we hope, be a help in the decipherment of others. AVe have 

 litde doubt that good examples of all exist, but the difificulty now 

 is to ascertain in whose possession they are, and even though we 

 could, the probabilities are that the owners would not be able to 

 say with anything like certainty whether they came from Little 

 Chester or elsewhere in the county. 



We give sketches of four coins lent to us by Mr. Shaw, of 

 College Place ; they are of the Strutt's Park find, and would have 

 been described in the former article, only that it was found that 

 time would not allow of their being sufficiently studied so as to 

 enable us to say anything very definite about them, because they 

 are all of them very mucii corroded, and the images upon them 

 difficult to decipher ; and even now we are obliged to confess 

 that we can only speak of them uncertainly, though we have had 

 the valuable assistance of the authorities of the British Museum ; 

 yet, under the circumstances, we feel that we have done our best.
