Nos. 1263and 1264 are very rude staff-handles of stag-horn; both of them having Nos. 1263,1264. Staff-handles of Bone. (Nearly half actual size. Depth, 16 to 20 ft.) quadrangular perforations. A similar staff-handle, of better fabric, foundat Inzighofen,*^ is considered to be a small hammer. But this I cannotadmit, stag-horn being ill-suited for hammers. Under No. 1265 Irepresent in double size a whetstone, which, according to Mr. Davies,. No. 1265. Whetstone of porphyry, with an inscription. (Double actual size. Depth, about 22 ft.) is of red porphyry ; it has an incised inscription, to which I call veryparticular attention. Professor Sayce discusses this object in hisAppendix on the Trojan inscriptions.^ No. 1266 is a piece of mica-schist, with the bed for a very curiousinstrument, which is altogether unknown to me. No. 1267 is anothermould of mica-schist, with the bed for casting a rude leaf. I representunder No. 1268 a third mould of mica-schist. The object to be cast init seems to be a large ring with a handle: this mould has two per-forations, by which it was fixed to another mould which had the sameform. A perfectly similar mould of green basalt, found at Nimroud, isin the Assyrian Collection of the British Museum. * L. Liadenschmit, Die Vaterldnd, Alterth. copied here.
