had preserved several very interesting specimens, all of 
which he has been so good as to hand over for a similar 
deposit. 
The find is a remarkable one, and appears to be, so far, 
unique in England, affording apparently a characteristic 
instance of the forest moss-pits. A watchful observation 
had failed, so far, to detect any traces of piles or platforms 
such as indicate what are known as Lake dwellings. 
Mr. Darbishire then exhibited and described a series of 
celts, more or less highly finished, certain very interesting 
specimens of wooden hafts for celts, clubs, and paddles, a 
quern, and several remarkable grinding stones of different 
forms ; and fragments of rude earthenware, found by Mr. 
Pinhorn, Mr. Quayle, and himself. 
[The details of the locality and its exploration, and the 
results, were intended to appear presently in the shape of 
a more formal report.]
