190 W . Theobald — Notes on some of the symbols found on the [No. 3, 
and the surrounding circle, is a fillet, (with a median line) forming a 
sort of collar round the ‘ lingum.’ This line is enlarged towards its ends 
where they approach the ‘ lip,’ and tliis in my opinion is an indication 
of a hooded snake or ‘ cobra ’ being intended to be understood as encir- 
cling each ‘ lingurn,’ or i-ather two snakes joined, as there are two ‘ hoods ’ 
(as 1 take them to bo) one on each side, and in front of the ‘ lingurn, ' fig. 
270. There is another very curious variant of the twinned ‘ lingtim ’ only, 
in this case instead of their being one ‘ lip ’ in common, there is one 
central circle (or pillar) in common (fig. 259,) and two ‘lips.’ Those 
lips, however, do not project in the ordinary manner, but are each twisted 
round to the right, at an angle of 45 so that the median line of each 
‘ lip ’ does not coincide with the one opposed to it, but is parallel to it 
a vcjy curious modification, and one that taken in conjunction with the 
groat variety of treatment of this symbol (the ‘ linguni ’) on stones in 
Scotland, leads to the belief that the artificers who wrought these works 
were familiar with the symbol and probably with the esoteric meaning 
it conveyed. (S, S. S. Vol. I, PI. CXVIII, fig. 2.) 
The next symbol I may mention as absolutely identical on Indian 
coins and Scottish sculptures is No. 8, (fig. 149.) This symbol forms 
the central ornament of the Cross at Moiglo (S. S. S. Vol. I, PI. LXXV) 
known as G uanora’s Cross, the ornament of which essentially consists of 
symbol No. 8, in the centre surrounded by four symbols essentially the 
same as No. 16, (fig. 163,) which are connected by intermediary dots, 
forming an enclosing circle for the whole. This symbol copied from 
Guanora’s Cross is given in fig. 265. Another symbol common to India 
and Scotland is No. 148 (fig. 194.) The ‘Wizard’s foot,’ (fig. 266) 
occurs on a stone at St. Andrews, Fifoshirc (S. S. S. Vol. II, PI. IX, 
fig. 5) accompanied by the common symbols on these stones, a pair 
of shears and a comb. It is a rare symbol both on the coins and 
sculptures. 
Another wholly identical symbol is No. 15, (fig. 153.) 
A form of this (fig. 267,) is seen forming the central ornament on a 
a cross at St. Keil’s, Argyleshiro (S. S. S. Vol. II, PI. XXXII,) and on 
an elaborately carved stone at Iona (S. S. S. Vol. II, PI. XLV.) In 
each case the symbol forms the centre of a larger disk, which may 
stand for the sun, whilst the symbol itself may bo regarded as the typo 
of deity, at the centre or throne of the universe. 
Fig. 268 ,is a variant of the same and identical with No. 101, (fig. 
154,) of this paper. It occurs four times on the superb cross at Kildal- 
ton in Islay, (S. S. S. Vol. II, PI. XXXVII,) and also, rudelj carved 
oil a stone, which fomicd one of a ‘ stone circle ’ at Balncilaii, BanH- 
shiro, of great anthpiity (S. S. S. V'ol. II, PI. GIV).
