IL BOR.--Previous to the investigations of Il Bor by Cavazzocca (B. 355), Dr. Alberti had estimated the number of heads of piles visible on this station at 500, but this number the former considers rather high. The station stretched parallel to the shore, from which its site is now distant about a hundred yards; but it is supposed that the present level of the water stands higher than it was in the days of the lake-dwellers. One reason for this opinion is that a triple row of piles which runs shorewards, and is considered to be the remains of a gangway, was found to terminate suddenly about half-way. The _strato archeologico_ lies under a thin covering of sand and gravel, which Cavazzocca explains to be the débris of the disintegrated morainic coast carried outwards by the boisterous action of the waves. The principal relics collected by Cavazzocca are as follows, most of which are illustrated in his monograph:-- _Bronze._--Four knife daggers similar to those from Peschiera; three pin-heads, "_capocchie di aghi crinali_" (=Fig. 65=, No. 24), like those from the terremare; one axe-head with wings, like No. 30, =Fig. 63=; one conical button; two chisels (=Fig. 65=, No. 15); four hair-pins; two fragments of spiral tubes (No. 20), and six undetermined objects. _Pottery_ showed diverse forms, including _anse lunate_, and fragments of vessels, spindle-whorls, etc. _Stone._--Three fragments of stone moulds, several whetstones, and an arrow, knife, and several chips of flint. An arrow-point of bronze (No. 16) and a couple of small daggers from Il Bor are in the Museum of Rome. LAKE FIMON. (B. 83, 110, 132, and 295.) About four miles to the south of Vicenza, at the southernmost point of an irregularly-shaped valley of rich meadow-land, lies the small lake of Fimon. At the present time it is hardly a couple of miles in circumference, but before the Debba Canal, which carries its surplus water to the river Bacchiglione, was cut, it is known to have been considerably larger, and in prehistoric times it is supposed to have covered the larger part of the valley. In a meadow called Pascalone, near its north end, and close to where the Debba Canal begins, Mr. Lioy detected the tops of piles jutting out of the grass, which he at once concluded to be the remains of a lake-dwelling--a supposition which was completely verified by extensive excavations. The surface of the meadow where these piles were visible was less than 2 feet above the level of the lake, and on making excavations over a selected portion the following facts were ascertained:--
