Mr. William H. Hardinge read a paper "On Certain Irish Census 

 Eeturns attributed to the Year 1659." 



Mr. P. W. Joyce read a paper (in continuation) "On Changes and 

 Corruptions in Irish Topographical Names." 



Sir William E. Wilde presented the following antiquities : — 

 On the part of Lord Farnham, forty-one silver coins, chiefly of the 

 reigns of Elizabeth, James I., and Charles I., all found in the Toney- 

 more Crannoge, county of Cavan, already described in the "Proceed- 

 ings." They serve to mark a period in the later occupation of the 

 Crannoge, and largely contribute to the extensive collection of coins 

 already possessed by the Academy. Sir W illiam expressed a hope that 

 some numismatist would undertake the arrangement of these coins, 

 and the others in the Academy's fine collection of coins, medals, and 

 tokens. 



Also, from the same locality, a number of large boars' tusks ; two 

 spindle whorls of bone ; a spoon made out of the epiphysis of the long 

 bone of a ruminant, similar to those described in the " Museum Cata- 

 logue," p. 267. They complete the collection of articles found at To- 

 neymore.
