In 1875 Mr. Perrin made a series of elaborate statistics, by which he estimated the entire number of bronze objects from the palafittes in Lake Bourget at a little over 4,000, and tabulated them in various categories according to their uses, indicating the stations on which they were found, and the museums or collections in which they were then located. (B. 282.) Since then so many additional relics have been recovered from the palafittes that Mr. Perrin's tables can offer no approximation to accuracy; but, nevertheless, they have a certain value in showing the relative frequency of the different objects. I have, therefore, taken the liberty of reconstructing from Mr. Perrin's data the following list of the objects found in Lake Bourget, which gives a better general idea of the culture and civilisation of its lake-dwellers than pages of descriptive details:-- LAKE BOURGET. ------------------------------------------+----------+-------------- | Grésine. | All Stations. ------------------------------------------+----------+-------------- Founders' {Moulds | 22 | 49 Materials {Ingots and Castings | 46 | 171 {Hammers | 5 | 7 {Hatchets | 19 | 38 {Chisels | 2 | 4 {Gouges | 1 | 1 {Sickles | 7 | 23 {Knives | 35 | 126 Utensils {Paring Knives (Tranchets) | 4 | 13 and {Razors | 18 | 32 Instruments {Stamp | -- | 1 {Borers, etc. | 32 | 164 {Saws | 1 | 2 {File | -- | 1 {Rivets and Nails | 115 | 248 {Needles | 46 | 190 {Fish-hooks | 38 | 144 {Pincers | 5 | 7 | | {Swords | 2 | 3 {Daggers | 9 | 12 Arms {Lances | 5 | 16 {Arrow-heads | 23 | 49 {Shields | 1 | 2 | | {Hair-pins | 163 | 798 {Fibulæ | 2 | 2 {Bracelets | 82 | 252 {Torques | 1 | 2
