Doliare Fecit M. Aper Lucio ^lio Gees ii P. Coel. Balbino con- 
sulibus, denoting tbat tbe brick was made by Marcus Aper, on tbe 
farm of Domitia Lucilla, daughter of Publius, in tbe second con¬ 
sulship of Lucius ^lius (Yerus) and the first consulship of Pubhus 
Coelius Balbinus, corresponding with a. d. 137. Borghesi has 
shown that the letters D P F LYCILLAE should be read as 
above, and not PF LYCILLAE, it not being agreeable to Poman 
usage that women should have three names.Domitia Lucilla was 
the daughter of Publius Calvisius Tullus, the wife of Lucius 
Yerus, and mother of Marcus Aimehus. Many of the estates from 
which these bricks were made belonged to ladies of high rank and 
imperial blood. The emperors on attaining the imperial dignity, 
often renounced their private fortunes to their female relatives, 
and landed estates devolved on females, by the proscription of 
male heads of families.! 
Oct. 5, 1869. —The Eev. J. Keisteick read a letter from Mr. 
Barugh, of Charleston, near Bridlington, which accompanied his 
important donation of hint instruments from the Yields in that 
neighbourhood. This donation is especially valuable, as the 
specimens which compose it have been found on land in his own 
occupation, or that of his friends, and therefore are not liable to 
the suspicion of forgery. Mr. Tindall’s donation was accompanied 
by an assimance that all his specimens had been found by himself. 
Mr. Kenrick added some remarks on the progress which oiu’ 
knowledge of the use of stone implements had made, since he first 
exhibited to the Society specimens of M. Boucher de Perthes’ 
discoveries in the valley of the Somme. He also noticed the con¬ 
troversy which had arisen in consequence of the discovery of a 
pohshed stone axe in the drift at Malton, wliich seemed incon¬ 
sistent with the distinction of the Stone Age into Palaeolithic and 
Neolithic periods, and also a recent find of Hint implements in the 
valley of the Ouse near Y^ork.
