Explanation of Plate i., 
which shows the contents of the Grave , in the positions in which 
they were found. 
No. i is an embossed ring-shaped decoration of thin bronze 
(fig. 6), 2 inches in diameter, which has been fixed to some¬ 
thing now decayed. 
Nos. 2, 3, 6, 7, and g are hollow rings (fig. 5) of bronze, 
resembling thin tubing. Nos. 3 and 6 measure 2 inches, Nos. 
2, and 9, 2J inches, and No. 7, 2f inches in diameter, all being 
about T 9 g- of an inch in thickness. They have almost most

measure respectively about 2f and 3 inches in diameter. It 
is a peculiar feature that one ring of each bit should be larger 
than the other. The thickness of the rings is about yE of an 
inch. The joint in the middle of each bit seems to have been

the curve being 8 inches. One end of each piece is broadened 
out to about i\ inch square, from which its thickness tapers a

button-shaped enlargement or knob. These two curved pieces 
may have served to fix the body of the car to the axle. 
Nos. 6 and 11 are two small button-shaped plates of thin 
bronze (figs. 7 and 8), slightly convex on one side and concave 
on the other. They seem to have been secured to some
