^{page 118 note 1} Largely through the kind help of Mr. A. J. H. Edwards, M.A., F.S.A. Scot, of the National Museum, Edinburgh, the late Dr. Walther Bremer, of the National Museum, Dublin, Mr. Arthur Deans, M.R.I.A., of the Art Gallery and Museum, Belfast, and Mr. P. M. C. Kermode, F.S.A. Scot., of the Manx Museum, Douglas. I am grateful also for help from Mr. J. A. Charlton Deas, F.R.Hist.S., of Sunderland Museum, Mr. D'Arcy W. Thompson, M.A., of St. Andrews, Mr. T. D. Kendrick, M.A., British Museum, and Mr. Linnaeus E. Hope, F.Z.S., Carlisle Museum.

^{page 119 note 2} This example, no. 18 on my list, from Glasgow, is fragmentary. It may have been ornamented all over; the ornament is, however, of a simple character (see pl. xxvl, 2)

^{page 120 note 1} As a matter of fact, some of the developed forms from Ireland show an extreme phase of degradation of ornament (e.g. no. 37 on my list from County Cork), while n i the simple examples the ornament is clean-cut and logical.

^{page 120 note 2} The urn from Cumberland, figured on plate xx, 4, is a recent discovery, having been unearthed on 9th September 1926. Mr. Linnaeus E. Hope, Director of the Carlisle Museum, tells me that it comes from Waterloo Hill, Aglionby, where a ridge of glacial sand is being quarried. The vessel was upright, one foot below the ground, in a trench with blackened sides and floor. There was no evidence that it had been associated with a burial. A n overhanging-rim urn containing burnt bones had, however, been previously found some twenty yards away, and a skeleton has since been exhumed by the quarrymen. It is therefore more likely to have been made for sepulchral than domestic use.

^{page 121 note 1} The disuse of the lugs as a mode of attachment, their survival as unpierced knobs, and subsequent development as ornament are examples of phenomena frequently observed. The successive phases may be concisely described as (i ) functional, (i) atrophic, and (3) hypertrophic.

^{page 122 note 2} An urn from Ceres, Fife, in the National Museum at Edinburgh, shows knobs on and below the rim. Its shape and ornament suggest contemporaneity with my transitional forms.

^{page 123 note 1} In undeveloped societies women are usually the potmakers: the invaders were, therefore, in all probability accompanied by their womenfolk.

^{page 123 note 2} The apparent absence of these urns from North Wales is curious. Th e discoveries of the Mold peytrel, the Cerrig-y-drudion bronze bowl (Ant. Journ., vi, 276), the Abergele bronzes (Arch. Canib., 192 f, 210), and a bronze armlet of Hallstatt type from Clynnog, Carnarvonshire (in private hands), suggest that this area was the seat of a flourishing culture in the first millennium B.C., and penetration peaceful or hostile, may have been discouraged.

^{page 124 note 1} His dates are: encrusted, c. 650–400 B.C.; cordoned, c. 900–400 B.C. The typological history of the former does not, I think, admit of so late a date for the inception of the type.

Mr. Garnet Wolseley's discoveries at Park Brow, Steyning, Sussex, shortly to be published in Archaeologia, are of great importance in this connexion.

^{page 126 note 2} The hooped urn is a derivative of the overhanging-rim urn. The lower edge of the overhanging rim and the angle of the shoulder of this older type of urn have been developed into hoops or cordons. Duplication followed when the structural significance of the ornament was forgotten, and three cordons are not uncommon. The hooped urn has in Scotland and Ireland a distribution similar to that of the encrusted type. The provenance of those examples figured by Abercromby (B. A. P., ii, pls. xcvin, xcix, cii) affords proof of this statement. Related types occur also in Wales (Arch. Camb. 1926, p. 25, para. 3, and p. 28, para. 5).

^{page 127 note 1} In this connexion the similarity between the anomalous form of the encrusted urn from north Britain (Glasgow) on pl. xxvi, 2 and the south British urn on the same plate, is striking. The Glasgow urn has a vertical rib breaking the symmetry of the chevron ornament on the rim just like the typical encrusted urn from Ovingham (pl. xxi, 3), and it must be related to this early form. It may be noticed that knobs occur on urns representative of the southern culture (see Abercromby, B. A. P., ii, p. 39). Thus we have parallels to all the features of our encrusted urns.

^{page 127 note 2} When this paragraph was written I was unaware of the occurrence at Scarborough, Yorks., of pottery of Southern type with applied decoration. This has been recently reported to the Society by Mr. Reginald Smith, and my argument is greatly strengthened by the discovery.
