I am not able to make out whether they are to be regarded as 
imported from Sweden or as brooches made in the country where 
they were found; but as some of their details — for instance the 
rounded corners of the plate — as far as I have seen, are unknown 
in Scandinavia, I am inelined to think the latter possibility the. 
most likely one, though the find seems to be å quite unique appear- 
ance in the whole of Northern Germany. But howsoever this may 
be decided, I think it certain in any case that the appearance in

Pommerania of the erueiform brooches, which must be referred to 
the late 5th cent., is due to an influence from the Scandinavian 
Peninsula, and that they may well be ranged in the series of de- 
velopment within the Eastern district. Dr. H. Scumann has kindly 
informed me that all the three specimens have the knobs east in 
one piece with the rest of the brooch, a proceeding which has 
never been met with in Sleswick-Holstein and very rarely in Den- 
mark. I cannot agree with the pronouncement of dr. ScHUMANN
