. Bergens Museums aarbog. Science. 72 Haakon Schetelig. [No. 8 indicate the special features characteristic of the separate form of the Peninsula. Consequently, with the earliest appearance of this variation of the foot we have left the stage of development common to all the Northern countries, and I am inclined to think that wJiere later brooches of this sort appear outside Western Norway it must be explained through influence from that part; this is at least a fact respecting specimens found in other parts of the Peninsula. The special form of the foot seen in this brooch (fig. 86) is no doubt closely related to the form represented in fig. 41 as the difference between them chiefly consits in the thick neck of the animal-head which is a constant feature in the West-Norwegian broo- ches of this sort. It is also by the thick neck of the animal-head that the little flat space of the foot is marked as a distinct part of it and prepared for further development. It must be remarked that the special shape of the neck of the animal-head seen here (in fig. 86), which is certainly the most original form of this detail, is only found in Western Norway where it is preserved also in some later specimens (so in fig. 87),r) but it is generativ changed into a moulded ribbon placed across the foot between the animal-head and the flat space. Commonly this ribbon is quite narrow (fig. 88)2) and very like the same detail in many other varieties; in some instances it is broader and very like the shape of the neck of the animal-head first mentioned, as seen in fig. 89,3) a.
