in the 



This Cup is formed of clay that has been baked, and evidently rudely made 

 bi/ hand; and the markings and headings impressed upon it are very deficient 

 in regularity and vneqnal in depth. It has several holes perforated in its 

 sides to>vard< the top, hy which it might have been strung vp, or perhaps hung 

 round the neck. This cunous little vessel, which n-as found among calcined 

 bones, doubtless of some Silurian chief tain, is in height two and a half inches, 

 o.ndj the breadth at top three inches. The bottom is nearly three quarters of 

 an inch in thickness. There are relics of colour upon it, as if originally tinted 

 by some pink piigment.
