He also exhibited Ptinidce, found in a barrow 1400 years old, 

 by Albert Way, Esq., of Reigate : they were observed on bones 

 in a covered vase, which again was enclosed in another vase 

 covered with a stone, and a quantity of earth : he inclined to 

 believe that they had not penetrated through these coverings, 

 but had been deposited with the bones. Full details of the dis- 

 covery of these insects have been published in the Journal of the 

 Archaeological Institute for October, 1849.
