Note on Two Skulls found at Westbury. 



some three miles from Westbury. As a whole this pottery bears 

 a striking resemblance to that in the Westbury collection, some of 

 it is indeed practically identical, and must almost certainly have 

 come from the same kilns. No red Gaulish potteiy (Samian) 

 seems to have been found at Chalcot. The pottery, &c, is still 

 preserved at Chalcot House in the possession of C. N. P. Phipps, 

 Esq. 



Note on Two Skulls found on the Romano-British Site at 



Westbury. 

 By De. J. Beddoe, F.R.S. 



These two Westbury skulls are a good deal alike, having a racial 

 and perhaps even a family resemblance. They are both well 

 formed, slightly platykephalic skulls, and might be, for aught I 

 can see to the contrary, either Saxo-Frisian crania of rather a good 

 type, or modern English skulls. They might be Roman ; but I | 

 think the wearing of the teeth is rather against that view, while 

 the slight indication of caries, and the general look of civilized 

 form about both skulls, may be thought favourable to it. Cer- 

 tainly the type is not one of the usual Brythonic ones.
