xl. SECOND WINTER MEETING. 



EXHIBITS. 



(1). By the REV. C. H. B. WOODD : 



(a) A collection of flints, found on the pathway leading 

 from Toller Porcorum to Toller Fratrum. 



CAPTAIN ACLAND said that the greatest experts continually 

 differed on the subject of palaeoliths. He did not claim to be 

 an expert; but was inclined to doubt if the specimens exhibited 

 had been "worked." Moreover their position on the surface 

 of a pathway was against them. 



(b) An Elizabethan silver coin and two other coins found 

 in the same district. 



These two were pronounced by the HON. SECRETARY to be 

 an Edwardian silver penny and a Georgian halfpenny. 



(2). By MR. W. C. NORMAN : 



(a) Two palasoliths found at Honiton. 



(b) A minute urn of bone found at Jordan-hill. 



Mr. Norman said : 



That the urn was given to him by Lieut. Ball, R.N., who was in charge 

 of the Preston Coastguard Station about 55 years ago. By permission of 

 Mr. Scutt, who then occupied the farm at Preston, of which Jordan-hill 

 formed a portion. Lieut. Ball was allowed to remove some earth from the 

 hill in order to make a flower border at his quarters. While so doing, in 

 breaking up a lump of earth, the urn fell out. It \vas sent to the British 

 Museum in 1886, and was pronounced by Professor Franks to be of bone 

 and quite unique. 



(c) A drinking cup of the 16th or 17th century. 



(d) Some coins found at Weymouth. 



(3). By MR. ALFRED POPE, F.S.A. : 



Two sarcophagi, in the finest statuary marble. The larger 

 one, measuring 22in. by 19in. is carved in relief at the 

 four corners with ox masks, from which depend festoons of 

 flowers. The cover is carved to represent a roof of Roman 

 tiles. The smaller one, measuring 18in. by 14iin., is carved 

 with rams' heads in profile and with laurels, ivy and other 

 leaves. The cover is finely carved with acanthus leaves.
