Comity Deny, Ireland. ^ natural size, hole is on the concave portion, while in the other two (figs. 179 and 183) the mouth holes are on the side—that is, midway between concave and convex. Fig. 181 represents a bronze horn with rows of spikes at either end, but otherwise without decoration. The ends are open, but the mouth- piece is gone. This instrument was raokled and cast, and the imperfect adjustment of the molds has j)roduced ridges, extending from one end to the other, on the convex and concave sides. It has been broken and mended in ancient times by the process of "burning in," elsewhere.
