Rh . Mr. Joshua W. Brooke has one (3 inches) from Liddington, Wilts. One of quartzite, 5 inches long, was found in a vallum of Clare Castle, Suffolk, and is in the Museum of the Society of Antiquaries; another (4 inches) at Sunninghill, Berks; another (2 inches) near Reigate. One, in form like Fig. 156 (4 inches), was discovered in Furness. Others were found at Pallingham Quay, and St. Leonard's Forest, Horsham (5 inches), both in Sussex. What seems to be a broken hammer (2 inches) and not a spindle-whorl was obtained at Mount Caburn, Lewes. Another, circular in outline, and 3 inches in diameter, was found at Stifford, near Grays Thurrock, and is engraved in the Archæological Journal. I have here reproduced the figure (Fig. 157), though the scale is somewhat larger than that of my other illustrations.

In the British Museum is a specimen, originally about 3 inches by 2 inches, and inch thick, with the end battered, which was found in a tumulus at Cliffe, near Lewes. Another, 3 inches in diameter, from the Thames; a subtriangular example from Marlborough (4 inches); and an oval one (3 inches) from Sandridge, Herts, are in the same collection.

A longer form (6 inches by 3) was found at Epping Uplands, Essex, and another about 5 inches, rather hoe-like in form, in the Lea, at Waltham. Another (4 inches) was found in London.

In the Norwich Museum are two hammer-heads of this type, one from Sporle, near Swaffham (3 inches), of quartzite; and the other of jasper, from Eye, Suffolk, 5 inches by 2 inches. In the Fitch Collection are also specimens from Yarmouth (3 inches), from Lyng (5 inches), and Congham, Norfolk (6 inches), as well as a fragment of one found at Caistor.

The late Mr. Warren, of Ixworth, had one from Great Wratting, near Haverhill (4 inches), and the late Mr. James Carter, of Cambridge, one 3 inches in diameter, from Chesterton.

In the Museum of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society is one of irregular form, found near Newmarket. A thin perforated stone, 6 inches by 3 inches, from Luton, in Bedfordshire, may belong to this class, though it was regarded as an unfinished axe-head.

In the collection formed by Canon Greenwell is one found at Coves Houses, Wolsingham, Durham (3 inches), and another of quartzite (4 inches), with both ends battered, from Mildenhall Fen. He discovered another of small size, only 2 inches in length, with the perforation not
