figured in Part II. of the Museum Catalogue (see p. 385, fig. 283), and 

 four casts of other celts, of flint, stone, and bronze, all of which were 

 found in Brittany, and have been described in the Archseologia Cam- 

 brensis" for June, 1860. 



Casts of these were presented to the Museum in April, 1862, by the 

 Rev. Mr. Barnwell. See " Proceedings," vol. viii., p. 153. 



From Henry Cusack, Esq., an ancient bronze pot. 



Prom Mr. F. Robinson, a specimen of a three-guinea note (£3 85. 3^?.), 

 issued at Ross, county of "Wexford, in 1811. 



I also beg to exhibit to the meeting the Gahr Barry, or short crozier 

 of St. Breagh, which I have lately procured for the Academy through 

 the Government, under the treasure trove regulation. Although not 

 much ornamented, it is in a state of great perfection, never having been 

 lost, but handed down through the O'Hanlys, of Sliabh Bawn, in the 

 county of Roscommon, the hereditary herenachs of St. Barry, the ruins of 

 whose church at Termon Barry, on the Shannon, near Lanesborough, 

 still exists. — See Annals of the Four Masters, under A- D. 1238. 



The St. Berach or Barry to whom this ecclesiastical staff or crozier 

 is said to have belonged, lived in 580 A. D. It is complete at both ends; 

 is only 29 inches long. The staff is, as in all such cases, of yew, 

 coated over with brass ; but it wants the crest which surmounted the 

 convexity of the crook. Much interest attached to this relic in former 

 days, from its being used to swear upon; aud it was sent for from great 

 distances for this purpose in cases of stolen goods, or defamation, &c. I 

 beg to present to the Academy the box in which it has lain for many 

 years. 



I also exhibit the most perfect square Irish bell of which we have 

 got any notice, and which has just been procured, under the treasure 

 trove regulations, from the neighbourhood of Dungannon, county of 

 Tyrone. 



The thanks of the Academy were unanimously voted to the respec- 

 tive donors — namely, the Commissioners of Public Works ; Lord Farn- 

 ham ; Andrew Armstrong, Esq. ; Mons. R. S. Le Men ; F. Robinson, 

 Esq. ; and Henry Cusack, Esq. 



W. H. Hakdinge, Esq., read a paper on the 



Application of Photozincogeaphy to the Peodtjction of Illustea- 

 TioNs OF Mantjsceipts. 



The author adverted, as suggestive of the idea, to his narrative of the 

 Civil, Gross, and Down Surveys recently read before the Academy, and 

 ordered by Council to be published in the Transactions." 



He exhibited photographs, executed at the Irish Branch of the Ord- 

 nance Survey Establishment in the Phoenix Park, of a Down Survey 

 Barony Map of Leyney, in the county Sligo ; and of a Soldier's Map of
