position, he had them enclosed in a zinc box. The box has been 

 placed in the tomb, which has again been built up, and he had 

 no doubt the bones would be preserved for another I 50 years. 

 An e&gy of the Bishop, in full canonicals, lies on the top of the 

 tomb. Eour angels were ^sculptured as supporters, but the 

 whole of them had been mutilated. A head and shoulders of 

 a stone figure had been found some years ago in the wall of an 

 hotel in Bodmin, and had been supposed to represent a mayor, 

 who had been hanged. Mr. lago had discovered that this was 

 part of one of the supporting angels of the Prior's tomb, and 

 the fragment has been restored to its place. 



Mr. lago also exhibited a bronze spoon, with figure of a 

 cowled monk on the handle, found during some excavations at 

 Bodmin. The metal was known as " laten," and was much in 

 use during the middle ages.
