uje oi tne moon. The festivals are marked by symbols of the saints issuing 

 from the notches, as a gridiron for St. Lawrence, two keys for St. Peter, a 

 wheel for St. Catharine, and so on. These curious instruments appear to 

 have been in use from an early period until late in the 17th century. Similar 

 specimens are to be seen in the Bodleian Library at Oxford, and the Cheetham 

 Library at Manchester. In Camden's Britannia, vol. ii., p. 499, there is a 

 plate of a Clog Almanack, showing the four sides, with an explanation of the 

 various marks and devices upon them.
