1906] The eruciform brooches of Norway. 147 
logy fairly marked as a late specimen, and as it is of å very rare 
form its date has no special importance. 
The two brooches shown as figs. 182—183*) have the appearance 
of being later than the two just mentioned, though they are pro- 
bably not later than the middle of the 6th cent. The cruciform 
brooch of this find is å very late specimen, but it has not yet lost 
any of the characteristic details of the type.

stage of development and they afford satisfactory evidence that this 
stage of development of our type prevailed throughout Scandinavia
