Rh Berkshire; several enamelled badges, one of them presented by Mr. W. Chaffers; a figure in stone of St. George, found at Winchester, and presented by the Rev. W. H. Gunner ; a monumental brass of a civilian, date about 1480, presented by Mr. John Hewitt; a three-legged caldron with inscriptions obtained at Shudy Camps, Cambridgeshire ; three draughtsmen, one of wood, the other two of walrus tusk, carved with various quaint subjects; and several brooches.

Only two seals have been added to the collection. One of them, the seal of Wangford Hundred in Suffolk, is here represented. It is identical in workmanship with that of South Erpingham Hundred, in Norfolk, already in the Museum. The other is a small personal seal of William de Clare, not one of the illustrious family who bore that name, but probably a native of the town of Clare in Suffolk. This seal was found near Farndish, in Northamptonshire, and presented by Mr. A. C. Keep.

The ornamental tiles have been increased by donations from the Rev. John Ward, the Rev. Dr. Wrench, the Rev. E. Turner, Mr. Albert Way, and Mr. Greville Chester.

Among works of Foreign Mediæval Art may be mentioned a fine Limoges enamelled crozier of the thirteenth century; a processional cross of curious workmanship; a quadrangular plate of brass, being a portion of a monument of an abbot or bishop; two slabs of stone, portions of incised monuments of the fourteenth century and French workmanship; and several Italian and Spanish Majolica dishes. The brass above-mentioned is of Flemish workmanship and is faithfully represented in Boutell's "Monumental Brasses of England:" the date appears to be about 1360. This as well as the two monumental slabs, formed part of the collection of the late Mr. Pugin.

One of the Spanish dishes is interesting from the arms it bears, which are represented in the annexed woodcut (see next page). They appear to be Castile and Leon quarterly, dimidiated and impaled with Arragon, It seems most probable
