242 W. Theobald — Notes on some of the symhols found on the [No. 3, 
“ These with a glorious tomb we mounded o’er, 
We, the divine host of Achaian men, 
Towai’ds Ilellespontus, on a beard of shore, 
Sign for all mariners afar to ken ”

177. A CDRVJSD MARK WITUIN A SQUARE IN A SQUARE AREA. Fig. 114. 
A symbol of obscure import. 
178. A CROSS WITH THREE ‘ Taurines ’ and a lozenge. Fig. 180. 
Above these symbols is a semicircle, which m.ay bo intended for a 
‘ tumulus,’ or the canopy of heaveu perhaps. It is essentially identi- 
cal with No. 180, fig. 182 and No. 193, fig. 183, but has the lozenge 
symbol in addition. Tho lozenge is of course the emblem of Ishtar or 
the ‘ vesica-piscis ’ of modern Ritualistic language, and in the cross wo 
probably have a variant of the ‘ Thyrsos,’ in combination with a ‘ Taur- 
ine’ above and one on either side, a combination again seen on the next 
symbol. 
179, A ‘ Taurine’ and ‘ Thyrsos’ in a circular area. Fig. 170. 
180. A CROSS BETWEEN TWO ‘ Taurines’ Fig, 182. 
This ‘ cross ’ has an upper cross-bar, which seems to support some 
object, not clearly seen, but probably a ‘ Taurine.’ 
181. Two ‘ Taurines ’ and two reliquaries in a square. Fig. 166. 
182. A tree, rising from a square base. Fig. 75. 
This square base pi’obably represents either a railing or a protecting 
wall of stones built round the tree, as is still the practice in India, 
affording at once protection to the tree and a seat beneath its shade 
during the heat of the day. 
183. A BRANCH within A NEAT TRIANGULAR AREA. Fig. 67. 
184. Humped Bull couchant between two pish ? Fig. 17. 
In this instance the Bull is couchant before an object which may be 
intended for a fish, whilst a similar symbol is seen over the bull’s rump. 
I am by no means satisfied, however, that the object really is intended for 
a fish, and' think it not improbable that symbol No. 236 is intended, 
which is a variant of tho ordinary ‘ Taurine ’ symbol ( see fig. A of 
Dr. Codrington’s paper ‘ on some old silver coins found near Wai ’ ; 
Bombay Branch Royal Asiatic Society’s Journal). The small size of
