Six of the size of fig. 1 1 (B. 270). 



Five of the size of fig. 12 (B. 276). 



" It is worthy of notice that in all the points are entire and 

 sharp, and the edges unbroken, and not seeming to have been 

 ever used. 



"6. Three gouges, fig. 13 (B. 181). These are, I believe, 

 of comparatively rare occurrence, and therefore were, proba- 

 bly, of less extensive use than the celts ; just as the common 

 carpenter's gouge is with respeet to his chisel, to which I 

 believe the others to have been the analogues. Their round 

 edge is well adapted either for paring or for excavating bowls 

 and goblets. 



" But the finest specimens of workmanship are the spears,

Seven of the same size, but a plainer pattern. 



Nine of the size of fig. 17 (B. 34). 



Six of a size two-thirds the preceding, but which it did

Cjiuifeach, . . . Crusheach. 



Pogha, .... Fow-gha. 



5ae Gae. 



Sabal, .... Ga-val. 

 With the remark, however, that Sleagh and 5ae are sometimes used indis- 

 criminately. The laighi"" was of foreign introduction, and peculiar to the
