judgment; and secondly, the generally visible character of 
the ideas in dreaming. From these two conditions, the author 
explained the ordinary phenomena of dreams. 
The author next proceeded to apply the foregoing con- 
siderations, together with the principles laid down in his for- 
mer Papers,* to the explanation of the memory of dreams, and 
other incidental circumstances commonly observed; and con-

The Rev. Professor Graves, D.D., read a paper on the 
Ogham inscriptions appearing on a sculptured monument found 
at Bressay, in Shetland. 
The inscriptions are thus deciphered by Dr. Graves :— 
1. CRUX : NATDODDS : DATTR : ANN. 
That is, The Cross of Natdodd’s Daughter here,—the final 
word ann being in Irish, the rest in Icelandic.

Nappopp, according to the Landnamabék, was a Vi- 
king, or pirate, who in general resided in the Fzroe Islands. . 
In the course of a voyage between them and Norway, being 
carried out far to sea westwards by a storm, he accidentally

been able to ascertain, after a careful search, no other indivi- 
dual of the same name is mentioned in the Scandinavian annals 
or sagas. This Nappopp had a grandson, BENir, whose 
name appears in the second inscription under the Latinized 
form of BenREs.
