Blade portion of a small bronze spear-head with high rib 

 on each face, now only 3f inches in length, found at Easter 

 Wooden. 



Harness Mounting. — One of the most interesting of the 

 articles exhibited is a bronze harness mounting of early Iron 

 Age date, found at Oxnam. Unfortunately, this specimen has 

 suffered severe usage, and is, in consequence, imperfect at 

 the ends. It is larger than any of those hitherto recorded 

 to have been found in Scotland. When perfect it would 

 have been fully 4^ inches across. In the National Museum 

 there are five of these objects, two (a pair) of which were 

 found at Hillockhead, Towie, Aberdeenshire ;* one found at 

 Clova, Aberdeenshire ;f the fourth found at Kirriemuir, Forfar- 

 shire ;J the fifth is, unfortunately, without a locality. Another, 

 found on the Culbin Sands, is now in a private collection. § 

 These objects were attached to the driving collars of horses, 

 and the reins passed through them to guide the animal. || 



Portion of an armlet of white paste, plano-convex in section, 

 found at Faughhill, Bowden. This piece is only 1 inch in 

 length, and is f inch in breadth. A portion of a similar 

 armlet, of the same material, was found in the Broch of 

 Edin's Hall, in Berwickshire. 



Roman Remains from Cappuck. 

 From the site of a small Eoman station or camp at Cappuck 

 or Capehope, on the Oxnam Water near Jedburgh, and on 

 the line of the supposed Roman road between Chew Green 

 and Eildon, a few relics are exhibited by the Marquis of 

 Lothian.** Of these the most interesting is the portion of
