find certain varieties confined to different localities; Denmark, Eng- 
land, and different parts of the Scandinavian Peninsula producing 
each their own forms which, for the most part, are not found out- 
side their special district. 
As this development chiefly takes place during the 5th cent., 
we meet with very few traces of it in Northern Germany which 
then gradually ceased 
to be a Teutonic coun- 
try. Denmark, especi- 
ally Jutland, has on the 
other hand produced so 
many original and inter- 
esting forms of the cru- 
eiform brooches, that I 
do not doubt that Jut- 
land has been one of 
the richest distriets in 
this respect and of spe- 
eial importance by its 
infiuence upon the Ene- 
lish forms. But on ac- 
count of the funeral rites 
in Denmark at that 
time the Danish graves 
have contained very few 
eruciform brooches, and 
- those accidentally found 
elsewhere are sufficient 
only to present some 
unique and remarkable 
varieties without giving 
an opportunity of stu- 
dying the development 
of forms in details.

material from Norway which enables us to put together complete 
series of successive forms showing the unbroken development. But
