150 ON JiOilAN KEMAlNS AT SOUTH SHIELDS. 



Sand. Found plentifully on the south-western 



slope of the Lawe. 

 Lime. Might have been made at the Trow Books, 



and other Limestone Localities ; or, in 



abundance, and of excellent quality, at 



FulweU. 



Y. POTTERS' STAMPS. 



A vast quantity of Fragments of Pottery of all kinds was 

 found ; among them many pieces beaiing Potters' Impressed 

 Stamps, either in whole or part. The following is a List of all 

 such Stamps, as far as I have been able to trace and examine 

 them. Those marked a are at the Free Library ; those marked 

 h in the Collection of Mr. R. Blair ; those marked e in that of 

 Mr. T. Vint; and those marked d in that of Mr. T. J. Bell. 

 Those marked also with a star are Yanations, hitherto, as far as 

 I am aware, unpublished in British Lists, while those marked 

 with a double star are, I believe, wholly new to the same. The 

 lettering is given exactly as it appears on the fragments. 



SAMIAN.

On patella, seven inches in diameter, one inch and five-eighths

 crumbling the glaze, an effect not observable in any other spe- 

 cimen.

 inch and a half higli. The third letter distinctly G.
