to compile. The guiding idea has been to supply the answer 
to future enquiries such as “ Who wrote that ? by giving the 
writer’s name to each label or comment, wherever possible, 
the Linnean letters affording an invaluable help in identifying 
handwriting. The MS. has been drawn up for reference in 
later years ; it includes the interpretation of many signs used 
by Linnseus, the meaning of which had been lost for more than

REPAIRS TO BRONZE-AGE VESSEL. 
In The Naturalist for May, 1904, we figured an interesting 
Bronze -age handled vessel, of earthenware, found near Gran- 
tham. By the courtesy of the Editor of The Connoisseur , we 
are now able to give an illustration of a somewhat similar cup, 
recently found near the same place. It is 6| inches high and 
4! inches in diameter. An interesting feature is indicated as 
‘ the furnaceman had had an accident and broken out a large 
portion of one side when placing it in the kiln . . . the man 
has carefully kneaded up again the damaged piece of clay, 
and has remodelled that portion of the cup with great care 
and success. But when he attempted to put on the lost 
ornament, his skill failed him, and perforce he impressed the 
clay with a few crude marks and indentations, probably with 
his finger tips.’
