This inventory is worthy of analysis. Let us first consider the bombards 
themselves. We find 14 new bombards, furnished “ corigiis, teleriis, et cano¬ 
nibus,” 4 old bombards furnished “ corigiis, 1 teleriis, et canonibus." Then 
there are one bombard with a copper cannon, nine bombards for skirmishing, 
evidently very small or hand-guns, and two bombards, one with an iron handle, 
and one without. The corigio? were the iron bands used to fasten down the 
bombard to its telerium or support. The teleria were clearly and unmis- 
takeably the beds or supports in which the bombards were placed, and not, 
as some antiquaries think, handles for the guns. In this inventory we 
find them separate from the bombards, eleven worn out and useless, and 
1 Napoleon in this place reads “ congiis teleriis,” and translates it" affuts courbes,” This is clearly 
an error.
