6. _Pottery._--(1.) The bottom of a dish made of reddish pottery, said to be Samian ware, was found in a drain close to the crannog. Its diameter is 3-1/2 inches. (2.) Five small portions of a whitish unglazed ware, with circular striæ, as if made on the wheel, have been picked up in the débris after it had been wheeled out and lain exposed to the weather for some time, but the original situation of a single bit has not been determined. These fragments might all belong to the same vessel, and two of them, though found at different parts and at different times, fit each other exactly. 7. _Crucible._--A fragment of a small crucible coarsely made, and not unlike that found at Dowalton (Fig. 15), was for a long time mistaken for a bit of unglazed pottery. It was found in the débris after it was wheeled out and had lain exposed for a while. [Illustration: Fig. 156. Fig. 157. Portions of Jet Armlets (1/2).] 8. _Lignite, Jet, etc._--(1.) A small bit of a black substance like a jet button. (2.) Two portions of armlets made of lignite or jet, each about 2 inches long, were found near the wooden platform at the north-east corner. One is a little thicker and coarser than the other, and forms part of a circle, which, if completed, would measure exactly 3 inches across (internal diameter). The other is polished and of a jet black colour, internal diameter 2-3/4 inches. A third fragment of a similar ornament was found in the débris when closing up the crannog. It is more slender and has a smaller diameter than either of the others. The portion of ring made of shale found at the bottom of the deep shaft below the log pavement is smaller than either of these, its internal diameter being only 2 inches, and its external 3-1/4 (Figs. 156 and 157). 9. _Tusks._--The large number of boars' tusks met with, quite unconnected with the bones of the animal, especially in the relic-bed around the fireplaces, suggests the idea that they may have been used as implements. One only, however, was found to have decided marks of having been formed into a tool. It is 3-1/2 inches long, and very sharply pointed (Fig. 158). [Illustration: Fig. 158.--Implement of Boar's Tusk (1/2)] 10. _Pigments._--Several soft lumps of what appeared to be a blue and a red pigment were found, but they were not subjected to analysis. A specimen of the latter, which has been kept in a bottle, is now turning blue like the former. 11. _Insect Cases._--Large quantities of the horny coverings of insects like beetles were found in patches here and there, together with one or two brilliant-coloured _elytra_. 12. _Shell._--One solitary shell was found near the fireplace, which I believe to be _Littorina littorea_. THE FAUNA OF THE CRANNOG. The following is the report of Professor Rolleston, M.D., F.R.S., F.S.A., on the fauna of the crannog:--
