No. 2 was found in a hog at Ballineanig, about seven feet 

 beneath the surface, and having about four feet of bog under 

 it. In the same place were found part of a pot, which, by 

 the description, appears to have been copper or brass, a por- 

 tion of basket-work, and a quantity of burned wood, &c. A 

 rude quern, appearing to have been in progress of dressing, 

 was also found about seventy yards from where the preceding 

 antiquities lay. 



No. 3. Several pieces of an Ogham stone, found about 

 three years since in an ancient rath at Brackloon. It is a 

 source of regret that only portions of this apparently fine in- 

 scription should have been obtained, the greater part having 

 been destroyed by some ignorant mason. 



No. 4 was found at Martramane. It lay across a fire- 

 place in a house now demolished. 



Mr. Hitchcock presented two quern stones found in forts 

 at Ballybowler and Doonmanagh, and a figured stone from 

 the village of Kilvickadownig, all in the barony of Corkaguiny, 

 county of Kerry. 



He also presented a collection of skewer-like pieces of 

 wood, called " arrows" by the peasantry, found in the bog on 

 the top of the mountain of Coumanaire, barony of Corkaguiny, 

 county of Kerry. They are found scattered about the broken 

 and weather-beaten parts of the bog, for about a quarter of a 

 mile all around. A few, which Mr. Hitchcock thinks re- 

 mained sticking in their original place in the bog, were, res- 

 pectively, two and a half and three feet below the present 

 surface. Mr. Hitchcock collected 289 of these "arrows", of 

 which he presented 264 to the Academy. There is a tradi- 

 tion current in the neighbourhood of a battle having been 

 fought near the place where the arrows were discovered. 



Mr. Yeates presented a Meteorological Journal for the year 

 ending the 31st of January, 1848. (See Appendix, No. III.)
