Mr. J. W. Cursiter, of Kirkwall, has a beautiful, long, narrow celt of oval section, from Lunnasting, Shetland. It is formed of spherulitic felstone, and is 9 1∕4 inches long, but only 2 1∕8 inches wide at the broadest part. Another, 12 inches long, from Trondra, is of felstone, and slightly curved longitudinally, so that it was probably an adze. Others[403] (14, 11, 10 1∕2, and 9 inches) have been figured. In the Greenwell Collection is a celt of this kind formed of porphyritic greenstone, 13 inches long, from Sandsting, Shetland. A celt of greenstone (8 inches), in outline much resembling Fig. 72, was found, in 1758, at Tresta, in the parish of Aithsting, Shetland, and is now in the British Museum. It is flat on one face, the other being convex, so that the section is an oval with a segment removed. Such an instrument must, in all probability, have been mounted as an adze, though the flat face may have originally been due to the cleavage of the material, which is a porphyritic greenstone. Another celt (6 1∕4 inches), flat on one face, so that the section presents little more than half an oval, was found in the island of Yell, and is now in the Newcastle Museum. I have a large heavy celt less tapering at the butt than Fig. 67, 8 1∕2 inches long, 3 1∕2 inches wide, and 2 1∕4 inches thick, said to have been found at Spalding, Lincolnshire. One of flint (7 inches) nearly oval in section, and found at Northampton, is in the museum at that town. Celts of the same form and character as Fig. 67 are found both in Ireland and in France. Fig. 68 shows another variety of this type, which becomes almost conical at the butt. The original was found near Bridlington, and is |125| now in my own collection. The material is greenstone. Implements of this form, but rarely expanding at the edge, are of common occurrence in that part of Yorkshire. Some of them have been made of a variety of greenstone liable to decomposition from atmospheric or other causes, and the celts when found present a surface so excessively eroded that their form can with difficulty be recognized. In the Greenwell Collection are celts of the type of Fig. 68, from Willerby, in the East Riding (6 1∕4 inches and 5 1∕2 inches), and Crambe, in the North Riding of Yorkshire (6 1∕4 inches), as well as another (5 3∕4 inches) from Sherburn, Durham. I have one nearly 8 inches long, from Speeton, near Bridlington, and several (5 1∕2 to 6 inches) from the Cambridge Fens. The surface of one of them is for the most part decomposed, but along a vein of harder material the original polish is preserved. Mr. F. Spalding has found one (8 inches), with a sideways curve, on the shore at Walton-on-the-Naze.
