Fig. 180 represents portion of a bowl of Samian ware, showing its characteristic moulding, the festoon and tassel, commonly called the egg-and-tongue border, and portions of the ornamental figures with which it was adorned. Its fine texture is of a uniform reddish colour, but the glaze has a redder tint. The diameter of the mouth of this vessel would be between 6 and 7 inches. [Illustration: Fig. 180.--Portion of Samian Ware (1/1).] [Illustration: Fig. 181.--Pottery (2/3).] Three other fragments of similar ware, but of a more slender build, were collected. These might all belong to the same vessel, and they presented no appearance of ornaments. [Illustration: Fig. 182.--Pottery (2/3).] [Illustration: Fig. 183.--Handle of Vessel (2/3).] [Illustration: Fig. 184.--Pottery (2/3).] Figs. 181 to 185 are illustrations of another kind of pottery. It is of a light colour, feels soft to the touch, and is mixed with coarse sand. Its thickness is somewhat variable, but rarely exceeds 1/4 of an inch. The fragments represented by Figs. 182 to 184 show small patches of a yellowish-green glaze. [Illustration: Fig. 185.--Pottery (2/3).] Fig. 186 represents another class of pottery very different from the latter. It is nearly 1/2 an inch in thickness, and is altogether more massive, but contains no coarse sand, and its colour externally is a dull black. [Illustration: Fig. 186.--Pottery (2/3).] [Illustration: Section of Fig. 186.] _Organic Remains._--At his own request, a selection of the bones and horns collected during the investigations was forwarded to the late distinguished and much lamented Professor Rolleston of Oxford, for examination and comparison with those from Lochlee, but unfortunately, owing to the state of his health, he was unable to make a report. I may state, however, that the _osseous remains_ were very similar to those from Lochlee. The bones of the sheep, amongst which was an entire skull, were proportionately in greater numbers than either those of the pig or ox. _Horns_ were very abundant, but included only those of the red-deer and roe-deer. Judging from the amount of the remains of shell-fish (_Lit. littorea_, _Patella vulgata_, and _Trochus_), they must have been largely consumed as food.[34] SECTION III. _Notice of a Crannog at Barhapple Loch, Glenluce, Wigtownshire._ (By the Rev.
