Fig. 55.—Bronze awl from the Swiss lakes, actual size.
The foregoing table, which I owe to the kindness of Dr Keller, and the list given on p. 18, will give an idea of the relative numbers of the different objects. Since it was drawn up the numbers have considerably increased, and the total number of bronze objects recovered from the two lakes of Bienne and Neufchâtel alone now exceeds 20,000.

Dr Thurnam gives the following list of the bronze objects found by Sir R. C. Hoare in the Wiltshire tumuli.
