ANGLO-SAXON CEMETEllY ON LINTON HEATH. 115

looped object of bronze with No. 19 ; the bronze donble- pointcd pricker, with No. 14 ; the circular bronze plates with No. 3G, and the bronze wheel with No. 72. These, with the small glass vessel found with No. 73, are the only novelties which have been produced by this investigation, since the general features of the other ornaments, weapons, &c., found in the graves, so strongly resemble those of Wilbra- ham, excavated in 1851, as to need no comment beyond the remark, that no burnt liuman bones, bronze tweezers, bone combs, or other small objects, were contained in the vases discovered in the cemetery on Linton Heath. With the exception of this difference, the resemblance between the two is so striking, as to lead to the conclusion that they were burying-grounds of the same people. By the kind permission of Dr. Ainslie, ]Iaster of Pem- broke College, I have, during the autumn of 1853, examined four mounds of similar character on Linton Heath, but without further success. E. C.
