^{page 251 note a} This communication has since been amplified and brought down to our present state of knowledge.

^{page 251 note b} A sword-handle of the same material and shape, found at Weisenau, near Mayence, is engraved in Lindenschmit, Alterthümer unserer heidnischen Vorzeit, Band ii. Heft iv. Taf. 3. Portions of similar handles, made of bone, and found in London, are preserved in the British Museum, chiefly from the Roach Smith Collection; there are also in the museum two fragments of the same kind from Cologne.

^{page 251 note a} Only one other sword of this date with a perfect handle is known to me, a Hungarian specimen, noticed further on.

^{page 253 note a} In the same collection (that of Mr. Durden, of Blandford) is the end of a sword sheath found at Spettisbury, Dorset, a fragment of another sword-handle from Hod Hill, and other remains of the same period.

^{page 254 note a} Exhibited to the Society, Jan. 21, 1858. See Proceedings, iv. 145. It is also engraved in Collectanea Antiqua, iii. pl. xvi.

^{page 254 note b} Exhibited to the Society February 25, 1858. See Proceedings, iv. 166. Two other swords with bronze sheaths, found in the Witham at Washingborongh, were exhibited at the Lincoln Meeting of the Archæological Institute by S. M. Peto, Esq. and James Peto, Esq. These I have never had an opportunity of examining.

^{page 256 note b} Engravings of the two sheaths in the Rev. W. Greenwell's collection have appeared in Lindenschmit, Alterthümer unserer heidnischen Vorzeit, Band iii. Heft iii. Taf. 3, but the localities are wrongly stated.

^{page 257 note c} Two of these are from the Roach Smith collection. See his Catalogue of the Museum of London Antiquities, p. 100, Nos. 531, 532, where one of them is engraved. They are erroneously classed as Anglo-Saxon.

^{page 258 note a} A list of these Gaulish cemeteries is given by M. Bertrand, Archéologie Celtique et Gauloise, p. 373. b This solid ornament was penannular, with two expanding terminations, and closely resembled some of the Irish gold ornaments.

^{page 266 note a} These were found in the beds of rivers, the Thames and Witham, and therefore cannot be trusted to prove a contemporary existence of swords of the two metals, especially when they are dredged up and found by workmen without any archaeological superintendence.—A. W. F.

^{page 266 note b} This is, I think, an error; such heads were found at Stanwick, but there is no evidence that they formed part of sword-sheaths.—A. W. F.
