"(1.) _Hypnum_ (_Hylocomium_) _splendens_, Dill. This specimen I submitted for confirmation to Mr. Hobkirk of Huddersfield, and after the most careful examination he refers it to the above. "(2.) _Dædalea quercina_, P. This I submitted to Dr. M. C. Cooke for confirmation, and he remarks, 'Must be a thin form of that species; but of course it is very much discoloured, and hence difficult to determine.' "(3.) _Bovista nigrescens_, P. "(4.) _Polyporus igniarius_, Fr. This and the preceding are Dr. M. C. Cooke's identification. "(5.) _Polytrichum commune_, L. (Portions from the fringe-like girdles (Fig. 151) and the pigtail-like object described at page 95 were thus labelled.) "(6.) _Pteris aquilina_, L. "(7.) Several masses containing roots and root leaves of a monocotyledonous plant with equitant leaves, heather stems, and rhizomes of fern. "(8.) Portions of birch bark in stripes rolled together like a ball of thread. "(9.) Hazel nuts. One gnawed by a _squirrel_? If, as I conjecture, it has been done by a squirrel, it is interesting, as affording evidence of their occurrence in this locality. "I am sorry I am unable to be more definite in many cases. The masses made up of monocotyledonous plants would not repay a more extended examination." GENERAL REMARKS. To extract from the above investigations, however suggestive the results may appear, a life history, as it were, of the crannog, or indeed much reliable information regarding the habits of the Celtic races who flourished in the neighbourhood during the period of its existence, would be presumptuous on my part, if not beyond the scope of legitimate inference, especially in face of the meagre results hitherto obtained from Scottish crannogs. The completeness with which the operations have been executed, together with the great variety of relics found, cannot fail to make the Lochlee crannog a standard of comparison for future discoveries of a similar character, at least for some time to come, and hence it was essential to have the present report free from all speculative opinions. I have therefore up to this point entirely confined myself to matters of fact which have come under my own direct cognisance; and as for the relics, I have simply endeavoured to describe them accurately, leaving it to experienced archæologists to determine their historical value. There are however a few points, bearing on the antiquity and duration of the crannog, which, though undoubtedly included in the category of the speculative, I wish to state, as they could only be made by one conversant with all the phases of the excavations; but which, after this caution, must be taken _cum grano salis_.
