V. Whorls.—Until recently there was only one whorl from 
Dumfriesshire in the national collection, which was found at Moss- 
peeble. It is formed of claystone, one inch in diameter, and 
differs somewhat from the usual form of whorl in being spherical 
shaped. In February last (1889) other six specimens, all found at 
Mouswald, were added to the national collection by donation. 
Five are of sandstone, and the sixth is of claystone. The largest is 
2,9, inches in diameter, and the smallest 1,3; inch. One is orna- 
mented on each face with incised lines radiating from the spindle 
hole. The others are unornamented. 
VI. Arrow and Spear Heads.—An arrow-head of greyish 
flint, found at Gretna, and presented to the National Museum in 
1877, is one of the finest in the collection. It 
is of the variety with barbs and stem, and 
measures 1,3, inch in length. The stem is broad 
and is convex at the end. The apertures be- 
tween the barbs and stem are most -carefully 
made, and the ends of the barbs slant from the 
inner side outward and forward. Through an 
oversight on Dr Anderson’s part, this arrow- 
iy % head is described as from Glenluce, Wigtown- 
Fig.2.—Flint Arrowhead, Shire. It is shown full size in figure 2, and 
with barb and stem, has also been figured elsewhere. + 
found at Gretna. 
Another barbed and stemmed arrow-head of 
grey flint, also found at Gretna, is imperfect, one of the barbs 
being broken off. 
A third arrow-head, also of the barbed and stemmed type, 
found at Riggmoor, has apparently accompanied an interment, as 
it has been subjected to the action of fire. There is little 
secondary working on either face, and one of the barbs has been 
broken off. 
A fine spear-head of the barbed and stemmed type is also in 
the Museum. It measures 23 inches in length, and shows some 
minute secondary working on the faces. The stem is broad, 
square-ended, and the barbs are worked to fine points, one being a 
little longer than the other. It was found at Grainhead, Gretna 
Green. 
A large lozenge-shaped spear-head of light grey flint, which 
was said to have also been found at Gretna Green, is in the
