THE CAMP OF DALHEIM.

roded, and the two smallest were broken. The 'Bur- 

 gundian ' groove was present in the four speeimens, and 

 was continued from one extremity to the other. This 

 mode o{ fullering is not now practised in this part of 

 Europe. The least of these articles appears to have 

 had six holes and no calkins ; but M. Fischer represents 

 the largest as furnished with nine 

 apertures, and two square, well- 

 formed calkins. M. Namur, the 

 archaeologist who described the 

 antiquities found in the camp, 

 asserts that they each had eight 

 holes.' In 1852-3, the excava- 

 tions being continued, a small 

 shoe of the same shape was 

 found, but it had ou\y four nail- 

 holes ;^ and in i 854-5, the same antiquarian rescued several 

 more, but they did not, it appears, differ from the others. 

 M. Namur gives no drawings or descriptions of them, but 

 merely states that they were of the ordinary form, and 

 were found associated with Roman reliquce of various 

 kinds and dates. 



It may be noted that these specimens of antique shoes 

 bear much resemblance to shoes found in various parts of 

 Wiirtemberg, which Grosz figures, and which will be 

 alluded to presently. He thought they belonged to the 

 middle ages. 



It is also somewhat remarkable, that at Steinfurt, in
