Antrim (ibid., fig. 13, 2), and near Keash, Ballymote, co. Sligo (the last three in the National Museum, Dublin); Whitehills Moss, Lochmaben, Dumfriesshire (Cat. Nat. Mus. Ant., Scot., 1892, DU, 6), and Carlingwark Loch, Kelton, Kirkcudbrightshire (J. Anderson, Scotland in Pagan Times, Bronze and Stone Ages, 205, fig. 223), both in the National Museum of Scottish Antiquities, Edinburgh; and finally Wotton, Surrey (British Museum). All the above are of a form well attested in the Iron Age and Roman times (compare J. Schránil, Die Vorgeschichte Böhmens und Mährens, Taf. liv, 12) and are often fitted with iron rim and rings.

Apart from these I have omitted, on account of marked variation in form or details of construction, such examples as the imperfect specimen from London (British Museum, Guide to the Bronze Age, 2nd ed., p. 55) and the fine cauldron from the Moss of Kincardine, Stirlingshire (Proc. Soc. Ant., Scotland, xix, 313, fig. 2; Cat. Nat. Mus. Ant., Scot., 1892, DU 1, fig.), which never had handles and has its rim reinforced by a secondary roll of sheet-metal with an edge tucked under the roll of the rim proper, and is decorated with large bosses, imitating rivet-heads, the real rivets being much smaller and alternating with the bosses at a higher level; and finally, a cauldron with a very narrow, plain rim from Dirnaveagh, co. Antrim (Belfast Museum, 1925, 279).

^{page 7 note 1} The effect of the casting is exactly that of the socketed axe from Felixstowe (now, by the generosity of Sir Arthur Evans, together with the rest of his father's prehistoric collections, in the Ashmolean Museum), which was exhibited to the Society by Sir John Evans in 1885 and figured in Proceedings, vol. xi, 9, fig. 1.

^{page 9 note 1} Only on one staple; on the other the casting of the cross-bars is imperfect.

^{page 15 note 1} The exception to this rule is the ornamented bucket from Cape Castle Bog, near Armoy, co. Antrim, in which the staples are riveted to the brim.

^{page 16 note 1} The curved plates with longitudinal and transverse linear decoration (V.C.H., Essex, i, pl. opp. p. 268, figs. 32–3) belonged to the base of the bucket; they are not rims of a large vessel as described in the text.

All'estremità della parete verticale, è aggiunta all'ingiro un gran fascia della medesima lamina, fortemente assicurata con fitti chiodi ribaditi, la quale, tagliata a scacchi uguali, si ripiega nell' interno per ricevere e sostenere il fondo della secchia, fermato con due chiodi per ogni scacco, in modo di dare un grande solidità al fondo medesimo, e costituendo un elegante disegno con la disposizione degli scacchi.

^{page 24 note 1} During a recent visit to the National Museum at Zürich I was particularly struck by its absence from the collections. Dr. Viollier and Dr. O. Tschumi have kindly confirmed the impression I then gained as to the difference between Switzerland and eastern France in this important respect.

^{page 27 note 5} Professor Beazley has drawn my attention to a survival of the neck and brim on a black-figured vase (without handles) from Falerii Veteres in the Villa Giulia Museum (Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum, Italia, Fasc. IIIl, pl. 55, 3), and again on the Amandola dinos (Guida del Museo di Ancona, 1915, p. 92 with fig.; Dedalo, I, 153, with excellent plate), regarded as a Greek, possibly Ionic, importation of c. 500 B. C. into Picenum. This dinos, however, has a pair of immovable bar-handles fixed to the shoulder and therefore stands still further removed from the prototype of the British cauldrons than the type shown on the vases and coins.

^{page 28 note 4} J. Mélida, Arqueología Española, fig. 46, q and r. An 8-shaped bronze double ring in this hoard also occurs frequently in Ireland (e.g. fig. 5). Further interesting witness to the close synchronism of finds mentioned in this paper is the occurrence in this hoard of a ‘broken-backed’ Italian fibula (loc. cit., fig. y), as also in the Vénat hoard (J. G. et G. Chauvet, op. cit., 149, pl. XXIII, fig. 281), and again in a hoard found at Notre-Dame-d'Or, Vienne (Déchelette, Manuel, ii. 328, fig. 130, 9); paralleled by him by examples from Cassibile, Sicily (ibid., 10 and 11). If the Huelva hoard is, as suggested, one complete deposit, and not a collection of objects which have accumulated in the bed of the river like those which have been dredged up from the Thames at Brentford, Professor Bosch's dating of 1200–1000 B. C. is, on the evidence of the slotted spear-head, unquestionably far too high (Reallexikon der Vorgeschichte, under Huelva).

^{page 31 note 1} Nos. 138 and 139 in Archaeologia, lxi, 150, refer to the same find.

^{page 31 note 2} Wilson in the text, p. 349, mentioning the staple from Dulduff, refers to this figure, but the Dulduff staple has five ribs, while the figure shows only three.

^{page 32 note 1} It is possible that some of the large rings found in Ireland originally belonged to cauldrons (or buckets). As examples there may be cited: Glenstal, co. Limerick—ring of O-section, in a small hoard (Proc. R. Irish Academy, xxxvi, 146, fig. 10) and Brockagh, co. Westmeath—two rings (ibid., 144, fig. 7, nos. 17 and 22).

^{page 33 note 1} No. 25 may be identical with No. 24.

^{page 34 note 1} This was fastened after discovery to the bucket (Brit. Museum Guide Bronze Age, 2nd ed., pl. v, 2 and Schedule II, no. 9 infra) with copper wire, evidently as a result of a passage in the original account (loc. cit. p. 425) which reads, ‘This vessel had handles to it, but they were broken off by the persons who found it. Part of one of the handles is now in it.’ It obviously has no other connexion with it.

^{page 34 note 2} One object from the hoard, a penannular bronze ring with trumpet-shaped ends, is in the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (DQ. 20).
