that this interesting relic will be removed to 8. Crowan 

 churchyard. A supposed cross at Penrose in S. Sithney has 

 also been examined, but on diligent inspection, I feel convinced 

 that it is not a cross. 



Finds. 



At Pengwedna, in Godolphin ecclesiastical parish, the half 

 of a cast, blackened by use, intended for forming beads, has 

 been found. On the surface there is a channel for the discharge 

 of the metal. In the middle there is an aperture, funnel- 

 shaped, for the formation of the bead. Its surface is marked 

 with strongly defined lines and dots, approaching those seen on 

 the Clog almanacks in character, and strongly reminding one of 

 Punic characters, though there is nothing to connect them with 

 this form of inscription. The date of the cast is most uncertain. 



At Gwedna, in the same parish, a stone has been discovered 

 flat on the surface, irregularly ovoid in shape. Though clearly 

 bearing the marks of instruments, it was discovered in what 

 appeared to be virgin ground, about three or four feet from the 

 surface. One of its discoverers, who had been in South Africa, 

 assured me that it reminded him of the stone slabs made use of 

 by the natives for the preparation of mealies. It is interesting, 

 whilst on the subject of cosmopolitan resemblance, to notice how 

 close is the likeness between the spindle-whorl found in the gorge 

 near Godolphin, to the ones unearthed by Mr. Bent, at 

 Zembaye in South Africa, and figured at page 209 in his 

 " Ruined Cities of Mashonaland." 



FoLK-LoRE. 



The following practices are to be made use of when a woman 

 wishes to have a vision of her future husband. The woman 

 places her shoes in the shape of a T (=cross) at the foot of the 

 stairs on the evening of the first Friday in the month, goes 

 upstairs backwards, without speaking, and folds her apron in 

 three folds under her pillow, saying : 



" On Friday night I goes to bed 

 Three-fold apron under my head 

 In my bed I wish to sleep 

 In my sleep I wish to dream 

 In my dream I wish to see 

 Whom my true love is to be
