3. Wedge-shaped, with low, upright lateral ridges, running at 
a right angle to the edge of the blade. No. 6, and plate 12, fig. 
4 and 5. 
4. The same form, with the addition of a transverse ridge—a 
low elevation between the blade and wedge-—running parallel 
with the edge of the blade, and at right angles to the lateral 
ridges, No. 7 and plate 12, fig. 6. 
5. Lateral ridges much produced, and sometimes overlapping, 
No. 9 and plate 12, fig. 8. Transverse ridge not a constant 
feature, but when present the lateral ridges usually unite with 
it, and form on each side a semi-socket; this type is sometimes 
• furnished with a loop on the upper surface, and occasionally 
with one on both sides (palstave), Nos. 8 to 22 and plate 12, 
figs. 7, 8, 9. 
6. With two high projecting shoulders between the blade and 
wedge, the latter usually furnished with overlapping ridges; 
only one or two examples of this type are supposed to exist, 
plate 12, fig. 10. 
7. Wedge-shaped, with lateral projections and two loops; but 
one example of this type is known—it is in the collection of 
the Royal Irish Academy, plate 12, fig. 11. 
8. Socketed celts, furnished usually, but not always, with a 
loop or ear on the upper surface, sometimes with two loops; the 
bore of the loop almost always "at right angles to the axis of the 
celt, but has been found in one or two rare instances parallel 
with it, see plate 13, fig. 4. This beautiful specimen was 
found in the bed of the Thames near Wandsworth ; it is in the 
possession of the Archaeological Institute; it is 4% inches in 
length. The ordinary types of Class 8 are Nos. 23 to 30 and 
plate 12, fig. 12, 13, 14. 
9. Socketed celts with projecting shoulders between the 
blade and socket, not represented in this collection, plate 12, 
fig. 15.

26. Specimen of ancient tin casting; it was found in the donor’s 
glebe. Presented by the Rev . Stanhope Rashleigh, St. Wenn
