 Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, are types assimilating to those of coins more frequently discovered in Essex, Herts, and westward as far as Wallingford and Abingdon, in Berkshire. They are undoubtedly the result of successive copies of pieces of better execution, until the original devices—a horse and a laureated head—are corrupted almost beyond identification. A reference to Ruding's first and second plate of British coins, and to the various volumes of the "Numismatic Chronicle," will make this apparent.

Nos. 8 and 9 may be also compared with the first plate of Ruding, particularly with figures 4 and 9, the former being struck on one side only.

Nos. 10 and 11 are types which have been discovered, at various times, in different and widely-distant parts of England. To whatever country they may be assigned, it is evident that they are barbarous copies of the Gaulish coins of better execution, engraved in Ruding's second plate, Nos. 22—25.

All these pieces being uninscribed increases the difficulty of their appropriation; but they are doubtless examples of the ancient currency of Britain, and not tokens or talismans, as has been supposed by some writers; among others, by Davies, who, in his work on the Mythology of the Ancient Druids, has indulged in the wildest conjecture regarding the origin of pieces which are now universally allowed to have been the first attempts of our primitive forefathers at a coinage of their own. These coins belong to the collection of Mr. B. Whitbourn, of Godalming.
