116 Notes on Ini'plements of the Bronze Age found in Wiltshire. 



have been hopelessly lost — are still to be found in the museums of 

 the county, either at Salisbury, or at Devizes, or in the museum 

 founded by Gen. Pitt Eivers at Farnham, just over the county 

 boundary in Dorset, which contains the whole of the proceeds of 

 his own extensive excavations. The most important private 

 collections containing Wiltshire objects of these periods are those 

 of Mr. J. W. Brooke, of Marlborough, and Mr. A. D. Passmore, of 

 Swindon, both happily within the county, where it is greatly to be 

 hoped that these collections may always remain. 



[I have to thank Mr. J. W. Brooke, r.S.A. (Scot.), of Marlborough, 

 for drawings of three objects from his collection here reproduced ; 

 the remainder of the illustrations, with the exception of six blocks 

 in the text, reduced from illustrations in Ancient Wilts, are from 

 my own pen-and-ink sketches. I have also to thank Dr. Blackmore, 

 of Salisbury, not only for permission to draw and describe many 

 objects in the Blackmore Museum, but also for much information 

 as to the Bronze objects in his charge as Curator.]
