 seen from the figures 

 that, respecting the form 

 of the foot, this series 

 has gone through no note- 

 worthy ehanges in the 

 district here in question, 

 and it seems to have 

 gone out of use at a 

 somewhat earlier time 

 than most of the other 

 varieties. To conclude 

 from our present know- 

 ledge, this variety is 

 certainly the form which. 

 of all the cruciform broo- 

 ches of the Scandinavian 

 Peninsula, has the most 

 decided inclination to-

 ches, as it is rarely seen 

 in this connexion and 

 has produced here no 

 noteworthy development. 

 It is also met with in 

 another type from about 

 the year 400 (fig. 51 ) 3 ) — appearing just in time to influence the 

 early cruciform brooches - - and I have seen the most original form
