 which was not so obvious. 



The great interest attaching to these specimens was this — that, so 

 far as he was aware, this was the first instance in which the occurrence 

 of any such implements composed of either copper or brass or bronze 

 was known in this country. There is a record of one instrument of 

 brass or bronze, which was believed to be in the Society's collection, 

 but which he had not been able to find, but, with this exception, there 

 was no record of any such instruments of bronze or copper, known, as 

 from any part 01 India. 



The only statement which the sender had given as to the circum- 

 stances under which they were found was, that they were " buried in a 

 field near to Mynpoorie." More detailed information had been sought, 

 and if obtained would of course be laid before the Society. He would 

 also have the instruments tested as to whether they were really of 

 copper.
