flat, the edge being slightly rounded off on one side; one extremity of the crescent is broken off, and it is furnished with a small projecting piece, apparently intended to he fitted to a handle. This relic was found in arable land, at Aughnaclay, county Tyrone.
There is also a large flat bead, or amulet, formed of amber, which was found with another similar ornament and an arrow-head, as it is supposed, formed of silex, on the summit of a grassy hill, about two feet under the surface, close to a small urn which contained blue ashes. This urn, as it was stated, was broken by the finder, as was also the second amber bead. This discovery was made at a spot one mile south-east from Ballygawley, in the direction of Dungannon, county Tyrone. In the same neighbourhood was found the spear-head, of which a representation is here given: it measures six inches in length, and is a good specimen of Celtic work. On either side of the socket is a lozenge-shaped projection, perforated in order to attach it, by means of a strap or cord, to the shaft. It was discovered in a bog in the mountain range, three miles south of Terman Rock, on the road from Terman to Ballygawley.

Representations of two bronze spear-heads, of remarkable form, have subsequently been communicated to the Committee. and are here given. The first was discovered at Peel, in the Isle of Man; it measures five inches in length; the drawing from which the woodcut has been executed is preserved amongst the curious collections illustrative of the antiquities of that island, formed in 1834, by Michael Jones, Esq., F.S.A., and designed by Major Edward Jones. The second is of singular fashion, the blade being flat, and of greater breadth than usual; it terminates at the lower extremity in a shape more resembling the barbed head of an arrow, than the head of a long-handled weapon. It was found in the year 1844, by some workmen who were employed in dredging, in the bed of the Severn, about a mile and a half below Worcester. This curious specimen has been communicated by Mr. Jabez Allies, F. S. A., of Worcester. It is formed of bronze, weighing eight ounces, and measures in length ten inches and a half, the breadth of the blade being two inches and three quarters.
