In connexion with the above paper, Dr. Eeeves exhibited a silver 

 crown piece of Salztburg, which had been kindly sent to him by Count 

 Charles MacDonnell. It was from the mint of Maximilian Gandolph, 

 Count Yon Khuenburg, Sovereign Archbishop of that see in 1668. On 

 the obverse are represented two archbishops, ecclesiastically habited, 

 with the legend — 4* hvdbertvs. et. virgilivs. patroni. salisbvrg- 

 ENSES. ; and on the reverse a shield, having in a chief the diocesan coat, 

 and the family arms beneath, with the legend — 4* maximil : gan- 

 dolph' D : G : ARCHiEPS : salisb : sed : ap : leg. This coin is of great 

 interest to Irishmen, as one of two patron saints of Saltzburg, who are 

 represented on it, was a native of this country; and the other, if not a 

 native, was connected with it. S. Eudbert, or Eupert, ■ whose name 

 Colganf supposes to be a German form of Robapcach, went to Ger- 

 many from the west, and died on the 27th March, 718. Yirgilius, the 

 celebrated philosopher, known by the epithet Solivagus, went out from 

 Ireland to Germany about the year 770, and became Bishop of Saltz- 

 burg. His death is noted in the Annals of Ulster," at 788; and the 

 '^Four Masters," more fully, at 784, thus record the event :— "Pergil, 

 that is the Geometer, Abbot of Achadhbo, and Eishop of Saltzburg, died 

 in Germany, in the thirteenth year of his episcopate." He was canon- 

 ized in 1233 by Pope Gregory IX., and his festival is the 27th of No- 

 vember.:!: 



Dr. Eeeves also exhibited an engraving of the Common Seal of the 

 Canton of Glarus in Switzerland, which he had received from Dr. Ter- 

 dinand Keller, of Zurich. It represents on the field the full-length 

 figure of a pilgrim, habited in a black cowl, bearing in the right hand 

 a closed book, and leaning with the left on a pilgrim's staff, having a 

 belt slung over the left shoulder, from which is suspended a wallet ; with 

 the letters S. Frid. Eound the margin is the inscription sia. 

 MAivs popvLi CLARONENSivM HELVETiORVM. This scal, and three others 

 of the same design, but on a smaller scale, are figured in the ^' Mitthei- 

 lungen der antiquarischen Gesellschaft in Zuricli^'' Ed. ix. (Ziirich, 1856), 

 where they illustrate an interesting paper by E. Schulthess, entitled 

 ^^Die stcddte-und Landes-siegel der xiii, alien orte der Schwei%erisc}ien eid- 

 genossenscliaft,''^ pp. 82-85, and Taf. xii. Prefixed is an account of the 

 banners of the several Cantons, where that of Glarus is thus noted : — 

 ^'Ibi sanctum Pridolinum confessorem summo celebrant honore, ipsum- 



* See "Proceedings, vol. vli., p. 292. Marianus, the Chronicler's name was Mael- 

 hrigde, Brigid being the Mary of the Irish. The other Marianus, however, was Muiredh- 

 och, whose name was Latinized by a familiar appellation, without regard to the rules of 

 etymology.
