sloped on both sides at the wider end, which is brought to a fine 

 cutting edge. Length 4J inches ; breadth 1-2 inches ; thickness 

 £ inch; weight 5J oz. This beautiful celt belongs to Miss 

 Weatherly, Cockburnspath, and was picked up in her grand- 

 father's time, long ago, on Eedheugh-hill, on the farm of Eed- 

 heugh. There are still the remains, although ploughed over, of 

 a large British camp on Eedheugh-hill. Some rude graves have 

 been ploughed up on the field adjoining it, and two hand-mills 

 have been brought to the surface. On the moors beyond, there 

 still remain a few tumuli ; some camp-like cattle or sheep-folds ; 

 and at one place, near the junction of Howpark road with the 

 post-road, four or five well-marked British hut-circles. 

 IY. Whet-stone. 

 1. Plate II., fig. 2. This is of greywacke, and is formed on 

 the same model as the slate-celts, with lengthways smoothened 

 spaces ; and a fiat outer edge which in this instance proceeds all 

 round. The original rough texture has been smoothened all 

 over. It has been considerably used in rubbing on one side, as 

 represented in the figure. The perforation is rude, much wider 

 at the openings than inwards, and has been made from two sides, 

 the openings not exactly opposite. The aperture is an inch from 

 the rounded-conical end. This stone is only a fragment of 4 

 inches in length. The breadth is 2 inches ; and the thickness 1 

 inch. This was found by Mr Leitch, of Fairneyside, in the same 

 field where he obtained the syenite celt, No. 2. At Long-Yester 

 he had obtained two similar stones. I noticed a smaller- and 

 more symmetrical fragment of a similar rude implement, also of 

 greywacke, in Mr Wilson's collection at Coldingham. The per- 

 foration enabled the owner to carry it about suspended by a 

 thong. 



Y. Arrow and Spear-heads of Flint. 



1. Plate III., fig. 1. This very artistically chipped arrow- 

 head, with two barbs and stem, was found on the farm of Green- 

 wood, on the Eenton estate, in 1874. The edges are finely 

 serrated. It is of a pale grey flint, speckled with white. It be- 

 longs to Dr Eobert Hood, who exhibited it at the Coldingham 

 Meeting of the Club, July 30, 1874. 



2. Plate III., fig. 2. A fragment of a smaller arrow head of 

 flint, identical with the last, of a pale grey with white blotches. 

 The form has been similar, but the stem only remains, and the
