struck in Germany with devices and heraldry suited to the country for which 
they were destined respectively. Neither of these pieces can be older than 
1500-1550, and they have therefore no connexion with the entombed Car- 
minows. It is curious that we never re-pew or restore or displace parts of 
old churches without finding some of these arithmetical appliances, which 
have slipped between the joists of the flooring or otherwise. I will not 
venture to infer that during dull sermons the wakeful parishoners made 
their reckonings of their gains during the previous week. But so it is.” 
* Of four of these, each has on its obverse a steam-engine and whim, 
with date, 1811, and legend: ‘‘ Cornish Penny; ” and on the reverse, a Fish, 
between blocks of Tin and Copper, with legend: ‘‘ For the accommodation of 
the County.”—A fifth is similar to the preceding, except that the legend on 
the reverse is: ‘‘ Payable in cash notes at Scorrier House.”—A sixth has on 
one side the words ‘‘ Penny Piece,” with encircling legend: ‘‘ Success to the 
Cornish Mines,” and date 1812. On the other side are the Dunstanville 
Arms.—The seventh has on its obverse the words ‘‘One Penny” and ‘“ Bir- 
mingham and Swansea;” and on the reverse: ‘‘Token 1811,” and ‘ Rose 
Copper Company.” 
+ Hach of these Coins bears on the obverse the name ‘“‘ ANTHONY 
COCKE” encircling three birds; and on the reverse: ‘‘OF REDRUTH, 1666.” 
In 34 of the number the legend on the reverse encircles the letters A. C.; 
whilst in the remaining 55, the encircled letters are non and the birds are 
on a shield. 
t Ina note accompanying this present, Mr. Rogers writes: ‘‘I send, by 
book-post, a Photograph, full size, of a very fine brass celt, of the type now 
called a Palstave. It was found in July by an intelligent young man in my 
employ, on the farm of Penvores, Mawgan in Meneage, near Helston, three 
feet deep in clay. Its size is 53 in. long; weight 143 oz., avoirdupois. Two- 
looped palstaves of this type are of the greatest rarity in England. In a 
recent number of the Archeological Journal (No. 108, pp. 230-237) two 
similar ones, though of slightly different figure, are given as found in Spain; 
and they have occurred in Portugal. Another is in the Museum of the 
Royal Irish Academy, and is figured in the Catalogue of that Museum, p. 
382. Lord Talbot de Malahide possesses a second Irish specimen, figured in 
the Archeological Journal, vol. ix, p. 194. This was long considered unique. 
Mr. Albert Way tells me of two others, one found in Somerset, the other in 
possession of Rev. T. Hugo. This important find deserves to be recorded in 
_ your Journal. The Photo will perhaps find a place in your Scrap-book.”
