^{page 122 note [a]} Mr. Douglas, in his Nenia, has given a very interesting account of the contents of a great many barrows, which he has illustrated with most elegant drawings. But these tumuli are, with a few exceptions, on the Downs in Kent; and appear to have been the burial places of a distinct people, and posterior to those found in Wiltshire, Hampshire, and Dorsetshire.

^{page 124 note [b]} I confess I am almost at a loss to appropriate these bone instruments to any other use; yet the thickness of the ends, which are persorated, at first sight operates against their having been used for that purpose, as also against their use as needles. I think it probable the holes were made for the convenience of stringing them, and a rough stone acting a file would soon reduce the large end, to a proper size for the head of an arrow or lance. There were three of a more delicate form, that appeared to have been used as needles, but these were broken in pieces.

^{page 124 note [c]} Antiq.Cornw. 2d ed. page 316, he gives a drawing of a flint celt found in Cornwall, which is very similar to fig. 3, but this was not found in a barrow. Montsaucon Vol. V. gives figures of two flint celts like the above; these latter I believe were found in a tumulus, but I have no recollection of any having been found in the barrows in this country.

^{page 125 note [e]} I have since seen a similar stone in a fling, which was brought from one of the Sandwich islands. W.C.

^{page 126 note [e]} I have accompanied this with a drawing of the barrow, and part of the beads, by Mr. Crocker, and request your acceptance of them.

^{page 127 note [f]} These are finely coated with the Armatura, acquired by lying a length of time in the earth.

^{page 128 note [g]} The length on the top 21 feet.

^{page 128 note [h]} A circumstance very common.

^{page 128 note [i]} See fig. 5.

^{page 128 note [k]} You see only a part of this plate: the whole length was about six inches; the pieces broken off had holes in the corners, perhaps used as a breast plate.

^{page 128 note [l]} See fig. 1; the base of this is neatly ornamented.

^{page 128 note [m]} See fig. 2, 3.
