mels of skeynes. I had two or three of these, but 1 can- 

 not now find any of them. One specimen I remember to 

 have given away. They were about an inch and a half in 

 length, and somewhat of the form of a Norwegian boat or 

 yawl. The drawing I represents both the shape and size of 

 these. 



" No. 8. The dagger or knife, with flat handle-socket, 

 marked K. I. had one of these which was more perfect in the 

 blade than this specimen is. I gave it away. The knife or 

 instrument marked K 2 was brought to me on Saturday, the 

 1st September, 1849, by the surviving finder, whose death, 

 Dr. Robinson was led to believe, took place two years ago. 



" No. 9. Gold-coloured bronze articles, of which I am 

 ignorant of the use. They appear as if intended for feet to 

 something. I possessed two or three of them, but I cannot 

 now find one. I presented one of them, together with some 

 others of the articles mentioned in this paper, to the Marquis 

 of Normanby, when Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. He had 

 them removed to England. They were all alike in size, and 

 are correctly figured in the drawing L, which, being copied 

 from a sketch made by me with a view to publication, while 

 the originals were in my hands, I can vouch as a faithful 

 representation, and as being of the same size with the ori- 

 ginals. 



"No. 10. A strap of gold-coloured bronze, ornamented with 

 flutings, and having a small hole in the end of it, seemingly 

 intended for the purpose of passing a thong through, in order 

 to fasten it to something else. It resembles a mutilated por- 

 tion of the chin-stay of a military headpiece. 



" No. 11. Gold-coloured horns or trumpets. I have had 

 in my possession many of these which were found at Dowris. 

 Some of them had lateral mouth-pieces. 



" I must, however, remark, that I never saw one of this 

 form put together with rivets, as described by Dr. Robinson 

 (Proceedings R. I. A., vol. iv. p. 239). Having minutely
