shown as fig. 48,5 whose side knobs are fixed upon the ends 
of the axis. Respecting the later appearance of this form, very 
few specimens have been found in Norway, but they are relatively 
common in Sweden from where I have illustrated two specimens, 
figs. 49 and 50. It is 
seen from the figures 
that, respecting the form 
of the foot, this series 
has gone through no note- 
worthy changes in 'the 
district here in question, 
and it seems to have 
gone out of use at å 
somewhat earlier time 
than most of the other 
varieties. To conelude 
from our present know- 
ledge, this variety 
certainly the form whieh, 
of all the eruciform broo- 
ches of the Scandinavian 
Peninsula, has the most 
decided inclination to- 
wards the Fast. 
I think it likely that 
this form of the foot 
did not originally belong 
to the cruciform broo- 
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)? — appearing just in time to influence the 
early crueiform brooches — and I have seen the most original form
