Six of the size of fig. 11 (B, 270). 



Five of the size of fig. 12 (B. 276). 



" It is worthy of notice that in all the points are entire and 

 sharp, and the edges unbroken, and not seeming to have been 

 ever used. 



"6. Three gouges, fig. 13 (B. 181). These are, I believe, 

 of comparatively rare occurrence, and therefore were, proba- 

 bly, of less extensive use than the celts : just as the common 

 carpenter's gouge is with respect to his chisel, to which I 

 believe the others to have been the analogues. Their round 

 edge is well adapted either for paring or for excavating bowls 

 and goblets. 



•' But the finest specimens of workmanship are the spears, 

 twenty-nine in number. These also are of various sizes, and 

 of greater diversity of pattern than the other implements. 

 There are 



Two of the size of fig. 14 (B. 54). 



Four of the size of fig. 15 (B. 38). 



One of the size of fig. 16 (B. 35). 



Seven of the same size, but a plainer pattern. 



Nine of the size of fig. 17 (B. 34). 



Six of a size two-thirds the preceding, but which it did 

 not seem necessary to draw.* 



* It is a curious circumstance that six kinds of spear-heads should have 

 been found. Dr. R. had met with seven different names for this weapon in 

 Irish ; but as his knowledge of this language is very limited, he availed him- 

 self of the high authority of Mr. Eugene Curry, who gives them :
